Is Pluto a planet?

Date sort Score sort
Yes!

Its a planet.

When I took junior high science 40+ years ago it was a planet, that was the way I learned it. So that's the way it stays!

not really planets orbit the sun, moons orbit planets.........not sure how large they need to be a planet, but i was taught pluto was the smallest planet.........but alot of thing have changed over the years.

like gay mean you were a happy person .....now it means you are homosexual. mouse was a little grey critter , now a tool to move a pointer on a computer. sure the old surfers would not want to surf into a net......that good way to drown.

sorry just those things that make you say hum

Hehehe... In the future they will probably look back at us and laugh "When they thought Pluto was a planet!" like we look back at the folks who thought the Earth was flat

But anyway... I think this is just one prime example out of many that science is NOT very scientific. If we don't hang on every last word, we won't feel silly later! Not that I don't believe in gravity, LOL, that at least has been proven

Pluto orbits the sun. Has a strange orbit, but orbits and the only thing you need to be classified as a planet is to be in outer space and orbit the sun.

Pluto orbits the sun. Has a strange orbit, but orbits and the only thing you need to be classified as a planet is to be in outer space and orbit the sun.

In that case a comet would be a planet. as well as many pcs. of astroids
 
Pluto is smaller than our moon.......but they found larger bodys than pluto that orbit earth farther out than pluto




They created a Draft Resolution defining a planet as an object orbiting a star which is large enough so that its gravity would pull it into an approximate sphere. By this definition, our solar system would have 12 planets.


So this was change later , now we have 8 planets and three dwarf planets.

But only if it is orbiting the sun.
