It's not really a hard, rock-solid fact IMO, now that I think about it.
People got together to discuss the definition of a planet. IN THEIR OPINION, they thought that a planet IN THEIR OPINION had to be this size, or had to have this orbit, etc. IN THEIR OPINION.
I have the right to make my own opinion, and I don't have to follow that of other people. I believe Pluto is a planet. How do you prove something like this false or true? So people make up a couple of statements and say they're true, but I didn't see any experiments being done. We all know about Pluto. It's small. It's cold. It's far away. Disney named one of their characters after it.
I think it's because it's different, but that makes so little sense, it's not that different from the other planets to be declassified as a planet, even a dwarf planet seems to be an understatement, IN MY OPINION. Venus has it's cloudy atmosphere, Saturn has it's' rings, Earth has it's life, Jupiter has it's Great Red Spot/Storm; every planet is diverse and has it's unique characteristics, as does Pluto with it's icy surface (probable), distance from sun, area in the solar system, orbit, etc.
I am not trying to convince people that Pluto is a planet. I gave my opinion on the matter, and I believe that Pluto is a planet, you don't have to follow my opinion, and I don't have to follow that of other peoples'.
In all reality, the "fact" that Pluto is not a planet is an OPINION. Just because it was said by a couple people, it doesn't make it fact, no experiments were done, words were said, and were put together. Pluto is about as different as any other planet, and it shouldn't be declassified.
Again,
IN
MY
OPINION.
