Should Mercury be a planet, because if Pluto gets Demoted then Mercury should for very similar Reasons.
Negative reasons
1.) Mercury has an Elliptical orbit around the sun.
2.) There are moons bigger than Mercury (Titan, Callisto, Ganymede)
Positive reasons
1.) Mercury has cleared its orbit of any derbies.
2.) would upset the School children to the point of Civil War :lol:
Mercury for all we know could be just a large captured Asteroid from the Main Belt, which also could very well explain why Mercury looks so much like the moon with all its Craters. Personally I say Keep Mercury as a planet, but if your Going to demote Pluto, Mercury nearly meets the definition of Dwarf Planet. Please, state your opinion.
