In reality, M class refers not to a planet, but the planets star. M class, as you can see on the Hertzsprung - Russell Diagram, typicly (but not always) refers to a Main sequence star with fairly low luminosity. About 78.6% of all stars fit this catagory.
However I think Mr Bot was refering to the Fictional Classification created by "Star trek" wich refers to a planet able to support life. Seems kind of vague to me.
Sorry to waste your time with such a trivial post.
What are some ways you think planets should be classified? Commical or not.

Nice post Mr. Wire, but I was looking for the Star Trek definition. M actually stands for something (and if you have watched Enterprise you would have heard it from time to time.) I will give you half credit for the post though.
Well, I give you a full credit for Nerdery. As for classifying planets? I don't know how the IGSS would classify a planet, but I'm assuming this is how the species would go about it: Conar, it's just a number in the grand scheme of Universal Domination. The macaneons might try to name it after something found on the planet, or maybe after a species in the system. The Gargonan will name it Gargona MCMLVI, or whatever they're on now. The Cylonquins won't even bother with it unless the sentient species are attractive. The Klisk will name it after a meat of some sort (Possibly a cheese, depending on the planets already in the system... for example, if there's already a "Steak" planet, they'd probably go with "Cheese"). And the Nareskens would quietly slip it into the back of their modified dropship, all the while shrugging their shoulders and saying "What Planet?".
Sorry Im not a Star Trek Fan, But if you must know...
"A Class M planet is a fictional classification of a planet in the science fiction franchise Star Trek. The class denotes a planet that is suitable for supporting humanoid life. They usually have oxygen/nitrogen atmospheres, suitable surface temperatures for humanoid life, earth-like gravity and are water rich. Earth is considered a textbook example of a Class M planet."
Taken straight from Wiki.
M stands for something and I found it on Wiki also. Any guesses?
I have no Idea... but I just wantede to say that i've been enjoying the comments... they've been very sci-fi educational for me... hahaha
Midgets? Mutants? Matches? Magnets? Marzipan? Milquetoast? Meandering? Malpractice? March? May? Malicious? Magnificent? Magnanimous? Mastication? Marginal? Meh...
It is really Star Trek nerdy. It's a Vulcan word. :)
oh whatever. I would fugure it out, but I don't feel like it.
I concur with Squirrel on this one. However there is a Star Trek Wiki with all the Star Trek mumbo jumbo. If someone was interested enuph they could look it up there. However, Bot probably knows already and is simply testing our Star Trek Knowelege.
How about some MOAG knowlege testing?
