@tcn33 It’s not a planet unless Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, 2207OR10, Quaoar, Sedna, Orcus, 2002MS4 & Salacia are, too. +prob many more.
@DrFunkySpoon I’m referring to the public reaction. People just wanted Pluto, not to clutter the solar system.

@kchangnyt There was definitely some public attachment to Pluto. All the more reason not to confuse & upset people w unnecessary "demotion". -
@DrFunkySpoon The 8 planets is by far least confusing option. Ask people to name the 5 dwarf planets or the 6 "almost certainly" dwarfs. - 5 more replies
