Why Earth is considered a planet ?

because its their plan (et's) not ours.

Look up planet in any dictionary. That's why.

It's not? Then what is it?

Motherfucking typos.

Did you miss the day in school when they covered science?

It never fails to amaze me the number of questions raised on GLP that can be answered quickly and succinctly by typing the question into Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo or any other search engine of choice.

Get Elaine off of my bed or the earth will collapse.

Because it's a big ball (yes, round) of rock orbiting the sun. That's what a planet is. That's why.

Planet comes from the Greek word "planete" which means wanderer. Greeks saw these little "stars" in the night sky that moved in a different way, not so linear. Thus they thought them to be "errands" and named them so. Earth when seen from somewhere else would also look errand, so...

Best answer yet.

What is a succinctly?

Pluto never was a planet. It was a moon that got knocked into a Planetary orbit.

Pluto crossed between Uranus and Neptune. Planets dont do that.

Because they said it is. So just believe it and STFU.

It along with Luna is actually a planetary binary system by some reckonings with fair validity.

From our perspective "planets" are just round circles of light in the sky.

They could be much smaller than what we are told.

Furthermore, from our perspective, the earth looks relatively flat and feels motionless.

So just because we are looking at round circles of light floating in the sky, doesn't mean we are on a ball.

Bad logic.

Uranus

Because

a- it orbits a star or stellar remnant
b- it is massive enough to be spherical, but not so massive that it causes thermonuclear fusion
c- it has cleared its neighbourhood of planetesimals.

Thus satisfying the definition of the term planet.

Doesn’t that describe Pluto too?

Pluto used to be a moon that was put into a "planetary orbit" so its going around the sun but it crosses the orbits of other planets. And planets dont do that.

Planets all have their own orbit they dont cross between each other.

It's a metaphor for "plant" in relation to the Sun. Without Sol, there'd be no plants living. Also, think about "a place where an industrial or manufacturing process takes place."

Pluto has not cleared its neighbourhood of planetesimals.

The King of England made believing in the ball Earth Theory part of his new bible. It was placed in all parts of the Kings realm. Punishment for coming out against it.

and simply an english word for such.

The clearing of the orbit happens during formation mostly. And the orbits become set.

Why does Pluto cross between the Orbit of another Planet?

Because its not a Planet.

Why is Morocco considered a country?

Oh wait... it’s not

Earth was made from Two Planets.

Because the Asteroid belt used to be a Planet. It was destroyed and broken apart. Part of the destroyed planet went closer to the sun and hit the proto-earth and they merged and became our Earth.

The moon used to be a moon of the planet in the asteroid belt. It was Captured.

You can still find Ceres in the Asteroid Belt. It was a moon of the destroyed planet.

There is solid evidence for this theory. And old mythological stories that back it up.
