Is Pluto a Planet?

Yes
No

Author Topic: Back in MY day, we had 9 Planets!  (Read 12263 times)

Just to remind you, we're past that.
What a sad, sad world we live in, where people can't say what they want without getting flamed, if it's "Not right."

All I said was "I think Pluto is a planet."

And it is indeed accepted by most scientists that it is not.

And I realize that.

I've probably said this like 19 times. :/

This is stupid.

I believe Pluto is a planet.

And that's it.
You don't matter. You are insignificant. Pluto is not a planet and if you seriously think so after being showered with reasons why it is not then you are a dumbass on top of it all.

back in my day, well...


i'm only 12 so what the forget

back in my day if something was fact we accepted it  :cookieMonster:

Gentlemen, I have done my research. Pluto, like most planets, has moons. 3 to be exact, Charon, Nix, and Hydra. The structure, is nothing more than a floating rock, ice, and frozen nitrogen. One thing that this "planet" does not have in common with any other planet, it's reloving is un-even, this MIGHT result into crashing into another planet (hopefully not us.) Once again, it relvoves around the sun, and a gravitational pull, and yet, it is 1/5 the mass of the moon. It can't clear ANYTHING in it's path, therefore gentlemen, with all of these facts, it's a dwarf planet

That is correct, but you didn't really explain why that doesn't make it a planet:

It needs to be in orbit around the Sun – Yes, so maybe Pluto is a planet.
It needs to have enough gravity to pull itself into a spherical shape – Pluto…check
It needs to have “cleared the neighborhood” of its orbit – Uh oh. Here’s the rule breaker. According to this, Pluto is not a planet.
You explained the last requirement, and you were correct, but the reasoning is the IAU definition of a Planet.

Sorry, we'd have over 13 planets.

Isn't Pluto just a big ball of gas?

we actually have 10 'officially' but 13 unofficially  now cause we found two others right after they got rid of pluto

that's Jupiter

Uh no.

Pluto has no atmosphere.

It's a dwarf planet thats orbiting our sun. That makes it a planet.

I respect your opinion. :)

actually it's 70% the moon's mass.
so about 3/5.

I hate all 101 people that voted yes in that pole.
