Poor Pluto :(

Poor pluto, now not a planet at all, i always thought there ware 9 planets, now there are only 8!

Do you think pluto should be classed as a planet, or is it just a floating iceball that should be forgotten.

I think its sad

What about you?

The actual reason to pluto not being a planet is:
It is so small that it can't stop objects from hitting it.
If you count pluto as a planet then we have 10 because they discovered another planet near pluto which is bigger but still not a planet so we have 10 planets!

hehe,i learnt something today, thanks

Lol your welcome, I am extremely good at astronomy for my age(I am 10) I know more about astronomy than the avarage 30 year old!

Pluto is a Kuiper object

Yeah well duh but I didn't wanna confuse wipper, lol.

hahaha we know a lot about space

Yep just finished watching the planets videos. Oh yeah the planets videos where ment to be for over 18's because it was so complicated but not for me.

link?

Haven't got a link its a DVD, called "Planets"

xD lol!

Look at my new topic "The Big Red Spot"

Well, I'm quite sure it is still considered a "planet", rather a "dwarf planet". That is, if you define planet as "A celestial body larger than an asteroid or comet, illuminated by light from a star, such as the sun, around which it revolves." Considering that, we'll look at the facts. Pluto is:

• Illuminated by a star
  
• Revolving around a star

The part where it says "..larger than an asteroid or comet" , I'm not sure if it means an asteroid / comet that revolves it, or any old asteroid / comet, so it could still be up for debate...

Btw, Linky, I enjoy astronomy, too. =)

Well it is smaller than some commets though and it is in the belt and theyreckon its a un-formed planet

That is sad.
I don't get why it couldn't be a planet. XD

To small its just a big rock in space. In a few million years it might be big enough!

How about Sedna? Thats a planet right?

No dwarf planet.
