it is not about size it is about similarity mercury is very small and is a planet because it is unique no object has been found orbiting in the same? place rather than mercury
A planet is defined as an object which a) is rounded by its own gravity and b) has cleared its orbit of other planetisimals (asteroids and such). Pluto is round, but has nowhere close to cleared its orbit, thus it is not a planet. ? There are five currently identified dwarf planets in our solar system, Eris being the biggest, followed by Pluto.
these “moons’ around many of planets could be large comets creating the large craters monster craters. The moon shows indeed some monster objects hit the moon mars and other planets. Hyperon is another strange moon that must be a comet. These icy worlds might well be older than our sun. Such? a large example was the comet that hit jupiter schmaker levi 9 a planets killer each of the first few pieces made a plume 150 miles above its atmosphere..
…continuing; You might also like to know, that I cringe whenever I hear that “Man has walked on the moon.” MAN didn’t do that…a few extraordinary MEN did it. Some brave superior men at that, including all the men and women who developed the technology that made it possible.
Assigning great achievements to “MAN” is nothing less than a sickening adherence to a failed collectivist philosophy. Individuals make the greatest discoveries, while their? “brothers” usually set fire to them as a reward.
Totally serious MisterShapiro1. I grew up with a map of the planets on my bedroom wall, and slowly began to idolize all those scientists who discovered and identified all those mysterious objects. To me, demoting Pluto to a dwarf-planet taints the history of those who made such discoveries. What was identified in the past, should remain “as identified.” (ESPECIALLY if the identification becomes quirky or “dated” in the future.) What’s next, melting down? all rare coins containing minting errors?
I think the renaming of Pluto represents the worst kind of personal “Power Play” imaginable. Isn’t anybody aware of the concepts of respect and tradition? The first two letters in the name PLuto, affectionately stand for Percival Lowell, who funded/supported the search for Planet-X (Pluto) to begin with! His assistant Clyde Tombaugh performed a miracle with the observatory’s blink comparator in order to locate the silly? thing. Why “dis” that?
Hey I know, lets go back and rename EVERYTHING!!!!
pluto is smaller than earth moon also pluto is very similar to objects in the kuiper belt so if pluto is a? planet thousands of objects in the kuiper belt should also be planets which is problematic

sorry english not my main lenguage just? realized what you said lol
December 18th, 2012 at 9:38 am
i never said its about? size

youre telling me something i already? know. and pluto’s gravitational pull is very weak.

its not just about size to name it a planet, it also has to? do with other factors such as gravity.
December 18th, 2012 at 9:38 am
voyager? should have went to pluto
December 18th, 2012 at 9:38 am
no? pluto why not planet anymore

Thumbs Up If Neptune Is Your Favourite!!
As a kid, and up until-recently, I always though that? Neptune was made completely-out of Water XD

URANUS? my arseno to
December 18th, 2012 at 9:38 am
its? pronounced, U-RAN-US, not your anus

Pluto might well be a very large captured comet made up of stone ices and? not much gravity but still has 5 moons just a strange planet
December 18th, 2012 at 9:38 am
Uranus was? also a Roman god…. It’s pronounced Yer-un-us

don’t worry,? a great cleansing draws nigh.
