Not necessarily. Comets and asteroids also orbit the Sun. The actual proposal was to classify Pluto as a Trans-Neptunian Object (which it is) and to give it a catalog number as such, for convenience and uniformity. This did not mean that Pluto ceased to be a planet, but was widely misinterpreted in the world press as such. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org One art/there is/no less/no more/All things/to do/with sparks/galore --Douglas Hofstadter
