Well, this thread has certainly been informative. Thanks all.
But if we are going to have "plutons", then what will the, uh, "regular" planets be called? |

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

More mass means more gravity, more gravity (in all vectors) means more 'inward' force towards the center of mass. That's why things like dust clouds aren't exactly spherical and such. :)
And the inner planets, at least, are comprised primarily of rock and water. The Gas Giants aren't - like Jupiter is mostly hydrogen and helium. |

I love that name..."Gas Giant".
Right up there with the "noble gases". |
