New Planets?

well ..ah.. so yes they are called midget/dwarfen planets right now (but they are no planets anymore), because unlike "real" planets they didn't sucked up all galactic dust aroung them; so Pluto , Xena and Gabriel are midget planets now; hehe i'm waiting for the first sarcastic comment here

well on the classaifacation thing, what would you call those moons around juipter. ya know the ones bigger then earth id call those planets if you asked me. Td call a planet anny round rotating body that orbits a star. if it aint round it aint a planed

thats my 2 cents

hmm moons bigger than earth? Really which one?
And to answer your question, this are still moons since they are orbiting a planet and not the sun; for example; so they didn't got caught by the gravity of the sun, instead they got caught by a planet (jupiter and Saturn are both called brown giants if i'm right, which means that if they would be bigger they would have been become stars)

I'm not sure if they're brown giants... looking up now.

Can't find anything anywhere referencing "brown giants". Closest thing happens to be David Brown.

Actually Jupiter and Saturn are called gas giants because of 98 percent of there mass is comprised of a compresed (but relitively low density) helium/hydrogen molecular layer with a thick liquid metalic hydrogen mantel and a small solid rock core.

Were as Uranus and Neptune are Ise Gaints because they are comprised mostly from a very dense icey salt wate brine with a solid rock core.

Wikipedia on Brown Dwarves

They arn't stars, but Jupiter is still much too small to be one.

A planet that no longer orbits a star is a Rouge Planet.

Kuiper belt objects are not planets. Next we are going to be saying there are millions/billions of planets in the solar system beacuse everything in the main asteroid belt is a planet. Give me a ******* break.
