where has pluto gone?which r the new planets?

Answer 1

PLUTO HAS NOT GONE ANYWHERE. IT IS STILL REVOLVING BUT THE SCIENTIST HAVE PROVED THAT PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET BECAUSE PLUTO IS THE OBJECT IN KUPIER BELT. THE NEW PLANETS ARE CERES, XENA & CHARON . FIRST WE SAY THE NAME OF PLANET LIKE THIS mY VERY EDUCATED MOTHER JUST SHOW US THE NINE PLANET. NOW, THIS HAS BEEN PROVED WRONG. THE KNEW SYSTEM IS GIVEN BELOW. THIS INCLUDE 11 PLANET.

MERCURY
VENUS
EARTH
MARS
CERES
JUPITER
SATURN
URANUS
NEPTUNE
XENA
CHARON

Answer 2

As the other answerers have said, Pluto hasn't gone anywhere.

Pluto has just been reclassified so that it is no longer considered a planet. It is, as someone else has said, smaller than Earth's moon.

The reason for the reclassification is that in recent years it became clear that there are many other objects similar to Pluto in orbit around the sun. Pluto is an object in the Kuiper Belt, a huge belt of debris that lies outside the orbit of Neptune.

If we kept Pluto as a planet, all these other objects would also have to be called planets. There could be huge numbers of them. Increasingly new large objects are being discovered in the Kuiper belt. The crisis was brought about by the discovery of Eris, previously known as 2003 UB313. Eris is BIGGER than Pluto, so it became urgent to decide if Pluto was truly a planet.

The International Astronomical Union recently decided that Pluto, together with Eris would be classified as a Dwarf Planet. When they did that they also reclassified the asteroid Ceres, which lies between Jupiter and Mars, as a dwarf planet.

So - now we have 8 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

We have also got 3 dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto and Eris (in order of distance from the sun).

The International Astronomical Union is currently considering whether to add a number of other objects to the list of dwarf planets, including Pluto's "moon" Charon and the Kuiper belt objects Quaoar, Sedna, Orcus, Varuna and Ixion (among others).

So we may have many more dwarf planets soon.

Answer 3

Eh, Pluto hasn't gone anywhere. It's still there, orbitting the sun as usual along with all the planets. Pluto is not a planet anymore. It was demoted to the ranks of an asteroid due to discoveries of such heavenly bodies also orbitting the sun AND almost as big as Pluto.
There aren't any new planets, just cut out Pluto.

Answer 4

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 5

Pluto has not gone anywhere. It is just the case that it is not considered a planet anymore. Other planets are the older 8 planets.
Now, Pluto be classified in the simultaneously created dwarf planet category, and that it act as prototype for a yet-to-be-named category of trans-Neptunian objects.

Answer 6

after the discovery of neptune, astronomers discovered that another object is rovolving around the sun. after some days they discovered that a moon is revolving around it. they named it charon. plutos' time to orbit the sun is 247.70 years. they considered it as the farthest planet. then also some of the astronomers opposed tha pluto is not a planet. they opposed that how can a planet be too far? but some astronomers still sticked to their decision tha pluto is planet. many discussions & arguments has happened on this. recently, also a discussion was held on this topic. large no. of astronomers voted that pluto is not a planet. that is why pluto is not considered as a planet. still now it is a question that whether it is a planet or not for many.
answer for your question is , pluto is in its usual position. it has not gone anywhere.

Answer 7

As noted in other answers, Pluto is still moving in the same orbit as before. it has simply been reclassified. It is no longer a planet but a "dwarf planet." There are two other bodies in our solar system which have been classified as dwarf planets. These are Ceres and Eris. Ceres is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter while Eris orbits beyond Pluto in the region known as the scattered disk.

Answer 8

pluto is still there, just as it always was, it just has been demoted to be classified with the other dozens or hundreds of objects that are similar to it.

our moon is even bigger than pluto

there are now 8 planets, MVEMJSUN

Answer 9

the new planets are mercury venus,earth mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune.pluto has been removed the old solar system.it is now been considered has dwarf planet.

Answer 10

the new planets are Ceres which before was the biggest asteroid in the solar system.And the other one I think is called eris
