pluto is it a planet or a moon now after demote?

The International Astronomical Union votes to redefine the term "planet", demoting Pluto (pictured) to the status of a "dwarf planet", and leaving the solar system with eight planets.

It is a "dwarf planet."

But it isn't "demoted." Why does everyone say that?

Is there a military-like rank of celestial bodies?

Pluto's feelings aren't hurt by the so-called demotion. It is just a classification that is more consistent with the other celestial bodies like it.

Moons orbit planets, so Pluto is most definitely not a moon. It is now being called a "dwarf planet."

It's definitely not a moon, and never was.

It's up to you whether or not you will accept the new definition of 'planet' devised by self appointed language authorities wearing robes and white wigs.

You could join the revolt against such pedantic scientific snobbery and continue to call it a planet in spite like so many have decided to do.

A lonely Planet.

It has been a planet ever since we first spotted it....I say leave pluto alone and go back to looking for alien life.

It is a dwarf planet

"Officially" Pluto is now a dwarf planet (..whatever the hell that it)

i just don't know...but i will always consider it a planet due to the fact: that is what i was taught....you can't take it back now...it's a planet forever iin my mind....
