Question

Im takeing a pole.

Sence Pluto is now a "Dwarf Planet" I would like to here every ones opinion.

Who thinks Pluto is a Planet?

Who thinks Pluto is not a Planet?

Best Answer with best detail will reiceive 10 points. ( Why do u think Pluto is not a Planet or isnt? )

Answer 1

I used to think pluto was a planet, like everyone else, but since it has been deemed not a planet recently I have been thinking. There is a pattern to the planets. The four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are all rocky and have varying landscapes. The jovian planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are all gaseous and extermely dense with thick, heavy atmospheres. Pluto does not follow this pattern and is only a floating ball of ice, in its entirety. The recent discovery of other "planets" just like Pluto set scientists back and helped them decide that Pluto is only an object orbiting the sun, not necessarily a planet.

Answer 2

It have been known for decades that at some point Plutos position of a planet would be in Jeopardy. It was going to happen when another Pluto size object was found in the Kuiper belt. Pluto is a Trans-Neptunian object (TNO) in the Kupier Belt. For years astronomers have known this, it has just kept planethood because no others were know. Yet we all knew that it was just a matter of time. So Pluto is has it has been known by professional and amateur astronomers for years a TNO.

Pluto is different then other planets in quite a few ways. First Pluto is on in inclination to the planetary plane. That is high compared to the “real” planets. The other 8 planets lie on roughly a plane as you compare their orbits around the sun. Pluto is inclined on this plane by about 16 degrees. Pluto also have a very eccentric orbit, it is such an ellipse that it is closer to the sun for a short period of it orbit (this is many years) then Neptune it this is the reason why it’s a “trans-Neptunian “ object and not just a Kuiper belt object. Also Pluto is very small, when compared to all other planets then Mercury. Had Pluto been found to be a planet on size alone the argument might have been made that out own moon “Luna” is also a planet as the moon orbit’s the sun and not the earth, we only put a small scallop in it’s orbit so tha at some points it’s close the to the sun then the Earth and at other points it farther. Because of Plutos Size, orbit outside the planetary plane, and eccentric orbit Pluto has always been an “odd ball” planet. If Pluto had been found to be a planet along with all the other several hundred predicted objects yet to be found similar to Pluto, we would probably have to make a sub group of planets that describe the first 8 as they do have additional charticersiats that make the similar that other Kuiper belt and Trans-Neptunian objects don’t have.

I have always thought the professional astronomers who wanted Pluto and other Trans-Neptunian objects to be classified as plants all had a desire or at least the opportunity to discover a new planet. As defined now the chances of a new planets being discovered are very remote.

Answer 3

I think Pluto is a planet and that they are stupid for saying it not now! That's like if someone said I was white and then because they found another white person that was the same size as me they say I am not anymore! Doesn't really make any sense.
