“cleared the neighborhood”

Four close approaches, one only 8000 miles from satellite altitude, in a month. By the above standard Earth is not a planet.

I do not care what a committee of European rump wranglers say, Pluto is still a planet.

It is also of interest to know that Jupiter has not cleared its orbit either. The orbit of Jupiter contains two clusters of asteroids, sixty degrees ahead and behind Jupiter. These are the Trojan Asteroids.
