How is the moon a planet?

@Thexboxoneguy1991 Ah, I see! :-)

Even if the Moon has its own orbit round the Sun, the astronomers might think it too small to call a "planet", though.

After all, they demoted poor little Pluto from planet to something else, along with comets and asteroids. (I am not sure, but hasn't that far-off world now had its dignity restored?)

@ArishMell Yeah, I miss Pluto too. Problem is there are a number of objects close to the size of Pluto orbiting the Sun. How many of them do we elevate to planet status?

@ElwoodBlues A good question. It looks as if they classify objects by size, but I don't know the size ranges.
