its not another planet, Pluto just keeps the status of a planet for historical reasons, you could also count all the rocks in the asteroid belt as planets
xena doesnt meet the requirements for getting the status as a planet, just as pluto, just as any rock in the asteroid belt, or somewhere else in the solar system, except the other planets and their moons

It's a kuiper belt object, just as pluto is. More precisely, it's a 'scattered disk' object, there are most probably thousands of them.

is not the definition of a planet. a object orbiting a sun. that has got sufficiant mass to atrackt other space objects comming in proximity of it self.
same as for a moon but this is not orbiting a sun but a planet.

Everything from Jupiter to particles of dust are in orbit of the sun and attract each other gravitionally.
The subject is still quite controversial. Many would like plutos' planet status revoked, others want many more objects added.

if "planet" is an object thats in orbit around the sun and has gravitational pull, then youre a planet, im a planet, my cats a planet. i believe its been restricted to an object with a magnetic field, since most things weve all decided are planets have one.

Venus doesn't have a magnetic field, mars has only a negligible one. The best definition of a planet I've seen is; any body in the solar system that is more massive than the total mass of all of the other bodies in a similar orbit.

Quit yer bickering.
Jack sez: "A planet is a big ol' sphear that, when used in conjuction with the other planets, was used as a big game for God when he supposididdly built teh universas!"
