how many of u want Pluto as a planet?

Answer 1

I do. It seems rather silly to clarify the definition after all these years and exclude it as a result. It seems to me that the definition should have been "all those bodies already considered planets and in the future..."

Then Pluto would have remained a planet. I'm participating in a revolt against the self appointed authorities of science to continue calling it a planet.

Answer 2

One of the people who decided to say that Pluto is not a planet is the person who discovered the "10th" planet. And he said that if Pluto is not a planet, then as of today, I have not discovered any new planets. Because those planets share the same characteristics. If he is willing to make this change in the name of science, then I don't think Pluto should be a planet.

Answer 3

I think it's great that they separated out the "Planets" from the "Dwarf Planets." We are only now in an era when we can identify 40 bodies that could possibly have been classified as planets under the old, amorphous naming pattern. We now know the primary 8 planets, we have a category of dwarf planets where we can continue to add names of the newly discovered over time, and we look to future generations as if we were functioning from a scientific basis rather than a sentimental one. In 30 years no one will regret this decision.

Answer 4

I do pluto has been a planet for a long time its stupid to not call it a planet now

Answer 5

when i first heard the news this evening on television i thought it was a really dumb idea. but they didn't give very good scientific backing to their explanation. After researching it online, it actually makes alot of sense to me. planets are those bodies with a large enough gravitational field to sustain a steady orbit around the sun. This sounds reasonable to me, sinse pluto does not. Now that we know more and have more technology it only makes sense that something like this would come up.

Answer 6

I wanted Pluto to stay as a planet but science is ever progressing. Always self-correcting. It's like having getting used to a medicine for years that's suddenly withdrawn from prescription due to newly-found evidence of its adverse side-effects.

Answer 7

I do.
I live in New Mexico.
Mr Tombaugh lived in Las Cruces.
He is the one that discovered Pluto.

All the years he lived with that achievement, and a few months before he died, his planet was being discredited.

You know, whether they are right or wrong, they could have waited for the ol' guy to pass on before they did that.

I feel it is what speeded up the end of his life on earth.

It's been a planet since 1930, and it is a planet now as far as I am concerned.

Answer 8

I want Pluto as a dog

Answer 9

I do! If they take out Pluto, it'll ruin everything! They'll have to re-write books, and make up NEW nursery rhymes!

Answer 10

I do..Pluto rocks!
