Some astronomers argue that Pluto is not a planet. In particular, the views of 3 astronomers been presented extensively by the news media and in popular literature in recent years. However, they have yet to offer a simple, concise, generally applicable definition of what a planet is - they simply offer a list of comparisons between some of Pluto's properties and some of the properties of some of the other objects in the solar system. Such a relativistic definition of what qualities define a planet is cumbersome, arbitrary, and scientifically unsatisfying. |
