it's extremely disingenuous to conflate "disagreeing with the exclusion of the 'dwarf planet' category from the 'planet' category" and "disagreeing with the existence of the 'dwarf planet' category"
and the only reason that dwarf planets aren't 'real planets' is because they didn't want to increase the count beyond like 9.
#astronomy#pluto is a planet#pluto planet debate#and the terrestrial planets and the dwarf planets are significantly more similar than#the terrestrial planets and the gas giants#any categorization of celestial bodies is a largely arbitrary endeavor#and the current consensus categorization is nonsensical
