Planet-Meteor Theory

===========================

        Every meteor is a planet.  This means that there are millions of planets
in our galaxy alone, perhaps more!  The requirements for something to be a
planet are that it must have an atmosphere and it must have an orbit around a
star.  I have many points to prove these things to work for meteors.  Due to the
information presented in this text, the fixed number of planets in our galaxy
will be obsolete.

        If the requirements for a planet are that is must have an atmosphere and
an orbit around a star, then what about the asteriods that are in a belt
orbiting our sun???  You may say "They don't have an atmosphere." BULL, they
have one.  An atmosphere is something that contains a mass.  Space contains a
mass, so there you go.  And what about those astroids flying through our galaxy
constantly entering and exiting it?  Perhaps they are orbiting an even larger
star that we are unaware of at the moment.  Their orbit may be so wide that what
seems to be a linear path through our galaxy is actually just a very minute
part of a large circular orbit!  They are planets too.

        Meteors!  The question was once asked if a meteor came to earth and a
kid caught it, would it be a planet then???  The answer is yes, it would be.
When the asteroid comes into the earth it turns into a meteor, and when someone
catches it, it turns into a planet.  Lets take a side step to this theory and
ask another one, "can a meteor even be caught?"  There have been reports of
meteors going through the roofs of houses, down a few stories, and then
smashing a dinner table.  I beleive that if the meteor is about the size of a
baseball and not on a linear path towards the earth but rather sucked to earth
by gravity, there is an extremely small chance but not an impossibility, to catch
the meteor on it's way down.  We must not forget after all that there is a large
amount of wind in the air.  Getting back to the main topic, the meteor is
contained within Earth which means it has an atmosphere and is orbiting the Sun
because the Earth is orbiting the Sun.  Finally, here is the physical proof and
support:  Lets take the example of a meteor hitting a house.  If an asteroid
comes to earth and turns into a meteor it is a planet.  The meteor hits the
house and theoretically turns into part of the house, which is in turn part of
the earth, which is in turn a planet!  This theory definetly proves that all
meteors are planets.  I hope that your mind has been enhanced by this
breakthrough law-changing scientific discovery!

*  This theory basically proves that everything is a planet.
