Pluto As A Planetary Planet
Can you answer that? Well, a planet is described as a celestial body that is in an orbit of the Sun, has a near round shape, and doesn't enter an asteroid field. Simple answer, right? No, Mostly because when Pluto was a planet, it had most of all of those features, only that it didn't orbit the sun like the closer planets. Pluto was considered a dwarf planet after only fulfilling 2 requirement, no Planeteering for this guy. Alright then, what is the definition of a planet? In the dictionary, a planet is defined as "a celestial body moving in an elliptical orbit around a star," a clear reason that anything orbiting a star can be a planet. Then why do we dismiss the thought that Pluto is a celestial being that revolves around the Sun? Because Pluto revolves at an erratic orbit, it takes too long to get even near the Sun. I swear, one last question. …show more content…
Well, one can debate that Pluto can be a planet, others think otherwise. But one Scientist by the name of Alan Stern says that science is not a democracy, its either right or wrong (I vote right). Stern also said "its atmosphere is bigger than the Earth's". Pluto has the atmosphere to be considered livable, therefore, it can be a planet. Just have industrial heaters and we'll be fine. In all seriousness, the atmosphere is double than the Earth's own, we have to adapt to the double amount of nitrogen. In a way, this planet is livable to an extent, but the risk is to great to leave Earth as we know it. If only we had an Earth 2 like the Flash, ah but I digress. Many answers are better left to professionals. As long as I know that we have a better chance at scouting, we'll be fine. Thank you and

    Our Planet Hunter Team from Lick Observatory possibly found a new planet. We are an observatory owned by the University of California and focus on astronomical observations. This Object X (to be determined as a planet) it does not seem to be a round-shape form, orbits the sun, Object X’s moon is 57,783 kilometers between Object X, Object X’s moon takes 32.17 days to do one full orbit, and crosses Pluto. These factors of Object X have similar factors of an actual planet. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) explains a planet must orbit the sun, has enough mass to be nearly-round shape due to gravity, and has a clear neighborhood around the object’s orbit. Our team will use Kepler’s Third Law (an equation used by using the information…

    Kepler-186f is the first most Earth-like planet to be found in the habitable zone, it orbits the Red Dwarf Kepler-186. One of the biggest discoveries for “Goldilocks Planets” is the discovery of the Solar System Kepler-62. Kepler-62 is a five planet system 1200 light years from Earth. Solar System Kepler-62 has two planets that are within its habitable zone, Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f. Both planets could have water, but Kepler-62f would be frozen unless there are greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere to heat it up.…

    Pluto's castle could only be described as menacing. Its black stone walls were embedded in rubies, sapphires, and other valuable gem stones. The palace was only two stories, small by any god's standards. He had exactly four windows; two in the front, two in the back. All of the windows had bars over them, as if their purpose was to keep those inside trapped forever. The outside of his home had four walls, but inside it was far more extravagant. When you entered the palace, which no one ever did, the floor was covered in red, velvet carpet and had walls made from solid gold. In his throne room on the second floor, the Lord of the Underworld himself sat in his simple, black throne. Pluto was a tall man, six feet six inches, with extremely pale…

    The pounding of horses’ hooves can be heard from miles away. The rhythmic drumming of their steel clad feet was enough to shake mountains and bring gods to their knees. They were known by many, their coats the color of starless nights and their eyes like rubies. They had names of course; Pluto was a kind man who named all that he loved. Orphnaeus, Aethon, Nycteus and Alastor were his four best steeds and they all served him loyally for many years, pulling carts of stone to and from his mine. You see, Pluto was a miner, the best one in all of the land. He could sniff out a silver ore deposit from six hundred yards away, making him quite famous among the wealthy families all over Europe. Every king wanted Pluto to work for them but every time…

    For my whole life I have been taught that there were exactly 9 planets in the solar system. I had learnt this at a very young age and the number 9 had often been stressed to me. I can't believe the amount of tests that I had failed on the subject because I had failed to remember one of these planets. My excuse had always been, "No! That's not a planet!". If I had forgotten Saturn then I would say, " Oh sir! Saturn's not really a planet, it's yellow and everyone knows that anything yellow is worthless." or if it was Mars, " But sir! Mars is made out of chocolate, how can it be a planet!". But the planet I forgot the most was, Pluto. That little spec floating of into the distance of my galaxy map had always eluded me. I wanted to get rid of it. It had…

    What I have read was an artical published on September 4th, 2006 on wether Pluto was considered a planet. This Article described the man who found it (Clyde Tombaugh) and how they decided to cvlassify Pluto in our solar system. Since his death in 1997, Timbaugh was still in favor of Pluto being a planet. His ashes were put on the New Horizons space probe head for pluto and to arrive in 2015. Something I did not know before I read this article was the size of Plutos Diameter which is roughly 1400 Mi.

    For decades Pluto was considered to be the ninth planet of the solar system. It wasn't until 2006 that people started to speculate that Pluto wasn't in fact a "planet". The debate began when the International Astronomical Union created an official definition for the word "planet". Many believe that there isn't one specific definition of a planet. It was always known when a planet was a planet. In fact, astronomers aren't even sure how to define a "planet". However, they have been able to define a "dwarf planet" which is a celestial body within the Solar System. It has…

    Congratulations Pluto, you have returned to your original status. There has been a lot of question about Pluto being a planet or not. It has been officially declared that Pluto is our 9th planet in our solar system! Pluto is very different than the other planets. Pluto is the smallest planet in our solar system and is very cold reaching temperatures of -369.4 Fahrenheit! It is the farthest from the sun and it also has 5 moons, the biggest being Charon. Pluto is a planet because it orbits the sun, has sufficient mass to be round, or nearly round, is not a satellite (moon) of another object, and can remove debris and small objects from the area around its orbit. There was a lot of speculation about the 4th one. After further investigation Pluto…
