Question? Now that Pluto is a dwarf planet.?

Question

Can it apply for special treatment like what would be the politicly correct term for the once planet Pluto? Planetary challenged. And can I enter into the special gravitational Olympics?

Answer 1

Pluto, the last planet to join the heavenly pantheon, became the first to leave it. The status of Pluto had been under discussion for some time, but with the discovery of 2003 UB313, nicknamed Xena, the question became acute, for it seemingly had as much right as Pluto to be called a planet.

On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union surprised the world by voting in a new definition of planet, one that would exclude Pluto and bring the total number down to eight. (There had previously been been strong speculation that the redefinition would bring the total up to 12 instead of down.)

Pluto was instead classified as a dwarf planet, along with Ceres and the aforementioned Xena. The main difference between a dwarf planet and the real thing is that the dwarf variety has not cleared the area of its orbital path.

This redefinition met with a wave of protests from those who wanted to see the ninth planet grandfathered in, including but not limited to supporters of the late Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930. His widow, however, said he would have been accepting of the IAU's decision since "he was a scientist" and understood that astronomers had to take into account newly discovered objects in the Kuiper Belt (where Pluto is located).

But opponents of Pluto's demotion remain unconsoled and have generated a thriving industry in T-shirts, mugs and other memorabilia. Among the many slogans of this movement was one which played on the mnemonic for the names of the erstwhile nine:

Answer 2

pluto and its moon charon are out in a area of the photograph voltaic device noted as the kuiper belt, it is the place alot of comets come from. its orbit is tilted from the plane the place something of the planets orbit, its created from ice and rock while the different outer planets are gas giants, so it form of feels form of out of place fore a planet. plus there have been different discoveries out previous pluto of different dwarf planets and a pair of them are bigger than pluto so we could could say that there are 12 planets in our photograph voltaic device or shall we merely classify those as dwarf planets and say that we've 8 considerable planets in the photograph voltaic device. so thats why scientists have labeled those as dwarfs because of the fact they thik they are gonna locate alot greater of those and that they dont choose to maintain including to the checklist of planets because of the fact incredibly quickly we could could say some thing like, "there are 387 planets around the solar".....desire this enables!!!!!

Answer 3

They're gonna try out their latest weapon...the planet destroyer,on poor little Pluto.It really exists,I saw the blueprint,it's a missile the size of the Empire State Building,some scientist invented it in case we get attacked by aliens,so we can blow their planet up....seriously.

Answer 4

Possibly but it would have to take the short bus to get there

Answer 5

I hope it doesn't get smashed by a comet. It will become physically challenged. :)

Answer 6

I thought he was an animated Dog or something.

Answer 7

1) spatially challenged
2) go for it !

Answer 8
