this is stupid
a asteroid is now a planet, while pluto bigger than its moon(now a planet) is not classed as a planet
Which asteroid is now a planet?
I think you're getting confused between the two definitions. One proposed definition, which included Pluto as a planet, would also class Charon, Ceres (an asteroid), 2003UB313 and probably Quaoar and Sedna as planets. The actual accepted definition doesn't include any of them as planets, so there are EIGHT planets in the Solar System.
Incidentally, Charon isn't Pluto's moon. They orbit around a point between them which isn't contained within either of them, so they are a binary pair, rather than a planet/moon couplet.
man so every thing i know about our planets is worng ah well
But Pluto was my favorite planet, all small and distant and alone...poor poor pluto.
I saw this on the local news a while ago. One less planet for kids to learn about.
aw......that cuts out people saying ALIENS are from there.......oh well....
So who wants to tell them that two of the Beetles are dead, or do we just assume Paul and Ringo will be likely be dead in another 41 years?Infact, the good people of planet HD 69630 d (some 41 light years away), have just recently enjoyed watching The Beatles performing 'Help!' on the Ed Sullivan show, and in a few months time will be treated to the first ever showing of 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'...![]()
My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets.
... there goes my catchy phrase thingy that I made up in 2nd grade. Why talk about pickles and pie when you can talk about planets?
My Very Expensive Mum Just Spent Under Ninety Pound.
Bit of a turnaround considering they almost made it 12.
Well, it's something - but Pluto is still a planet, apparently... albeit a newly classified "Dwarf Planet" alongside Eris and Ceres...

Don't joke about that danoff, they'd also go through Uranus.
Or maybe some of the ice, rock and dust that form the ring would move to Uranus' field of gravity.
Uranus would have a ring.
