Depends on what state you live in. I hear one state, AZ maybe, is going to dispute the Pluto Not a Planet theory.

Yeah this has been discussed a lot recently. I thought I heard something about New Mexico or some state deciding they were going to stay with the nine planet theory regardless.

Some jupiters moons are big enough to be a planet. Like others says...it all depends on what defines a planet.

As defined by the International Astronomical Union, a planet is:

(1) A planet is a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape1, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet.2

(2) We distinguish between the eight classical planets discovered before 1900, which move in nearly circular orbits close to the ecliptic plane, and other planetary objects in orbit around the Sun. All of these other objects are smaller than Mercury. We recognize that Ceres is a planet by the above scientific definition. For historical reasons, one may choose to distinguish Ceres from the classical planets by referring to it as a "dwarf planet."3

(3) We recognize Pluto to be a planet by the above scientific definition, as are one or more recently discovered large Trans-Neptunian Objects. In contrast to the classical planets, these objects typically have highly inclined orbits with large eccentricities and orbital periods in excess of 200 years. We designate this category of planetary objects, of which Pluto is the prototype, as a new class that we call "plutons".

(4) All non-planet objects orbiting the Sun shall be referred to collectively as "Small Solar System Bodies".4

My definition of a planet is something larger than one micron... Which implies that there are a shit load of planets...

Aye but I think we'll need a mineral from one of the other planets in order to harness that solar power.......prolly iron from mars or something.

In the end we'll have one less planet but a fuck of alot more iron!

You wouldn't even want a planet-wide computer that runs and controls all. The computer would always be dishing out torture heuristics (*) when you didn't show up for work on time or got stoned on your lunch break.

A thought-provoking question indeed. Each atom is a solar system, with it's sun (nucleus) and surrounding planets (electrons). The number of electron rings surrounding the nucleus determines the makeup of the atom, so I'm curious to know what element we are part of.

If there are 9 planets (or electrons), we'd be Fluorine. If 10, Neon, and if 8, oxygen...

Eight would certainly make sense, as oxygen is necessary for life (for us, anyways), but Pluto's there, and the good old public school system here still teaches Pluto is indeed a planet.
