Well...I don't remember orbital eccentricity actually being in the definition I've read...so that arguement is moot.<br /><br />as for your 7 tier system...seems rather arbitrary. Mercury has a lot in common with venus and earth...so why is it classified as sub-terrestrial based solely on a rather arbitrary size definition?<br /><br />Neptune, Uranas, Saturn and Jupiter differ really only in size. Composition and behavior vary little between them. So why classify them differently?<br /><br />It's like saying I'm 6ft 4" tall, so I must be something different than my friend, who's 5ft 2", even though we're both brown haired, brown eyes, intillegent, lean build (well, I <i>used</i> to be lean) and like a lot of the same things. Different enough that you would classify us as something entirely different, based solely upon that hieght requirement. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p align="center"><font color="#c0c0c0"><br /></font></p><p align="center"><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">----</font></em></font><font color="#666699">SaiphMOD@gmail.com </font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">-------------------</font></em></font></p><p><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">"This is my Timey Wimey Detector.
