Pluto should still be considered a planet, according to new study

The video discusses Pluto's reclassification as a dwarf planet by the IAU in 2006 due to its inability to meet all three criteria for full planetary status. A new study published in the Journal Icarus challenges this definition, arguing it oversimplifies the solar system by excluding other large objects. The study suggests that Pluto, with its complex geology and potential liquid ocean, should be considered a planet. The debate centers on whether a planet should dominate its orbital zone or be defined by geological complexity.
