    Well, yeah. But even so, it’s still better than the current definition. Many “planets” have not, in fact, cleared their orbit.

      Planet has never been very well delineated. The Sun was a “planet”. Ceres was a “planet”.

      When we find enough things to break up the classification, we make a new classification. Like “asteroid” or “dwarf planet” or “gas giant”.
