who is pluto?

Answer 1

Percival Lowell was an astronomer during the late 1800's and early 1900's and believed that there was a ninth planet, planet X. When Pluto was found 14 years after his death (1930) planet X was designated P.L. for Percival Lowell. A little girl suggested the name of Pluto after the God and the name stuck. Pluto was/is the God of the underworld.

Answer 2

1) Pluto is a Donald Duck's dog.

2) Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld.

3) Pluto used to be the ninth planet.

The International Astronomical Union decided that Pluto was no longer a planet. The reason is that while Pluto is round, orbits the sun, and has three moons, it has not cleared (via gravity) its own orbit of debris. Instead, they decided to classify it as a "dwarf planet".

See the details below.

RESOLUTION 5A
The IAU therefore resolves that "planets" and other bodies in our Solar System, except satellites, be defined into three distinct categories in the following way:

(1) A "planet" [footnote 1] is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

(2) A "dwarf planet" is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape [footnote 2] , (c) has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite.

(3) All other objects [footnote 3] except satellites orbiting the Sun shall be referred to collectively as "Small Solar-System Bodies".


Footnote 1: The eight "planets" are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Footnote 2: An IAU process will be established to assign borderline objects into either dwarf planet and other categories.

Footnote 3: These currently include most of the Solar System asteroids, most Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), comets, and other small bodies.

RESOLUTION 6A
The IAU further resolves:

Pluto is a "dwarf planet" by the above definition and is recognized as the prototype of a new category of trans-Neptunian objects.

Answer 3

Mickey's Dog Is Known As Pluto.

Pluto Was Considered As The Ninth Planet Rotating Around The Sun.

Answer 4

Mickey's dog, greek God of underworld, Orbital of the sun that some consider a planet although many characteristics of this body don't really satisfy those of a planet. Also it's got a stupid shaped orbit.

Answer 5

pluto is the dog from disney or the not-anymore planet

Answer 6
