Is Pluto a jovian planet?
It seems there is no general consensus about the exact definition of "Jovian planets." Depending on the definition used, Neptune is, or is not, a "Jovian planet"; as explained on Wikipedia: "Giant planets are also sometimes called jovian planets, after Jupiter. They are also sometimes known as gas giants. However, many astronomers apply the latter term only to Jupiter and Saturn, classifying Uranus and Neptune, which have different compositions, as ice giants. ..."
