Is Pluto a real planet? Are there others in our solar system?

I guess there has been some contraversy over this recently. Should they keep the solar system to 9 planets for simplicity in learning them or try to be more accurate as we find out more. Try learning 36, or whatever it is, that some are advocating!

General question. What makes a planet a planet? Is it the mass? Diameter? Orbit? Distance from the sun?

I would say that the following are minimum characteristics of planets.

1 & 2 below are arbitrary, you may prefer other variables.

1. Minimum Mass. 10^20 Kg. (about 1/100th the mass of Pluto).
2. Minimum Diameter. 1,500 Km (about 900 miles)
3. Orbit. Must be in orbit around a sun, and not a planet (therefore, Luna is not a planet, even though it's larger than Pluto).
4. Distance from sun. Not relevant, as long as it is clearly in orbit around the sun. Therefore, a massive sun may have planets dozen's of light-years away.
5. Is not itself a sun. That would be a binary or higher system.
6. Must not be in interstellar space, not associated with a sun or suns.
7. Not in a field of other bodies with the same approximate orbit. That would leave out anything in the Asteroid Belt and Oort Cloud.

So, I say that Pluto is a planet.

Now, how about "Xena" (aka, 2003 UB313)? To Hades (Greek God of the underworld) with conventions for naming planets. Xena is perfect. And Gabrielle for the moon.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion $39.99 Pre-Order this title to receive immediate access to the BETA. The Official Release Date is 6/12/2012.The Next Installment to the Award-Winning RTSWhile many were hopeful that diplomacy would finally end the war, differing opinions on what should be done, along with the depleted power of the controlling factions, has led to a splintering of the groups involved.The loyalist members of the Trader Emergency Coalition adopt a policy of isolation, focusing on enhanced defenses to ride out the rest of the war. Those who rebel against the coalition take on a purely militant view, coming to the opinion that the only way to bring peace is by ultimately crushing all who oppose them - especially xenos.For the first time in their history, the war creates a schism in the Advent Unity. The loyalists seek to continue their policy of revenge against the Traders, and to assimilate all others to the Unity’s influence. However, others amongst the Advent suspect that a corrupting influence from within has diverted the Unity from its proper destiny.The divide created in the Vasari Empire is less pronounced, but just as severe to their people. With the Vasari now practically frantic to move on to new space, the loyalist faction abandons cooperation and decides to take the resources they need by any means necessary. Having accepted the need to work together, the rebel faction feels that their best chance for survival is to work with the other races and bring them along to flee the approaching enemy.Take the battle for galactic supremacy to its ultimate level in Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion – a standalone RT4X game that combines the tactics of real-time strategy with the depth of the 4X genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate).New Factions: Decide whether to play as a Loyalist or Rebel – each unlocks new technologies, ships and play styles for each race.New Titan Class Warships: Mighty titans enter the fray of the war to tip the scales of power.

A Mobile Solar Power Generation System Prototype $113.11 Fossil energy source has become scarce over the years. The burning of fossil fuel to generate power is contributing massive damages to earth. The call for clean and environmentalfriendly energy are getting louder by days. In this book, we discuss in details on the design and implementation of a mobile solar power generator with microcontroller as the core of the system, together with solar panels, real time clock IC, temperature and photo sensors, LEDs, an LCD display, a motor and a lead acid rechargeable battery. A sun tracking system which can constantly align the panels towards the direction of the sun is integrated in the solar energy system to make it more practical and feasible in maximizing the efficiency of solar absorption. The model developed is an intelligent system as a whole that manages both the usage of solar power harvested and the battery power, to display the time, date, batterys voltage and temperature on an LCD display, as well as control the rotation of the sun tracking system.
