SciGuy: A Texan definition of a planet
• Therefore, a planet must be any star-orbiting, non-fusing celestial body larger than the smallest sphere containing TEXAS.

Read it all, and enjoy.  I’m not an astronomer but it makes sense to me.

  1. I think I would propose an alternative:

    A planet is anything larger than the ego of a Texan.

    This would require, of course, a size considerably bigger than this proposal.

  2. And here I thought the Texan definition of a planet was “them thar big ole sparkully thangs up in the sky”….

    (Waaah…I miss good ole Texas now that I’m in Kansas!)
