    Jupiter is 11x wider than Earth. But Earth is only 5x wider than Pluto. So Jovians surely demoted us to DwarfPlanet long ago

        @neiltyson Jovians will get around to that right after they recover from that 350 yr old storm ravaging their planet.

        @neiltyson Pluto and Earth are both denser than Jupiter. Gas in orbit is a lame excuse for a planet.

        @wardishere @neiltyson Planets accumulate, eject, or otherwise control all the mass in their immediate proximity; Pluto cannot.
