Why Pluto Should Be Considered A Planet
In conclusion… (restate thesis)because Pluto is round just like any other planet and shouldn’t be judged by its size, it should still be a planet. Also, because it has a clear orbit. This is because Pluto has not only cleared its path, but it has a greater disadvantage of having objects in its radius. My third reason is because Pluto orbits the sun. Pluto’s orbit has an average distance of 58 km (kilometers) from the sun and is much further away from the sun than Earth is. This is why i think Pluto should be considered a

    Clyde Tombaugh is not exactly a household name even though he discovered something that each and every one of us has learned about. He is accredited with the discovery of the now ex- planet Pluto. Clyde was born in Streator, Illinois February 4, 1907. At a young age his family moved to Kansas to start their own farm. Clyde had planned on going away to college the fall after moving to Kansas, but this was all put on hold when a hailstorm had ruined his families’ entire crop and he was forced to stay home and work on the farm. Clyde, while stuck on the farm, began to become interested in the sky and the stars, and at the age of 20, he started building his own unique telescopes and lenses to observe planets and he would draw what he saw. He would send these drawings of the planets to the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. This eventually got him a job at the observatory due to his drawings impressing the director of the time Vesto Melvin Slipher. Clyde worked at the observatory from 1929 to 1945 and in this time he made his biggest discovery of finding Pluto in 1930.…

    By the 2nd century CE it became more and more apparent that the simplistic models derived nearly 2000 years before, were flawed. Kepler, a Scientist of the early 1600s concluded not only that the previously stated purely circular orbitals around the sun were in fact ellipses, and that planets travel faster when near the sun, and slower when farther from the sun, and lastly he found that the mathematical relationship between the orbital period, and the orbital radius of any given planet.…

    As a result of Herschel’s discovery of the planet Uranus, our solar system literally double in size. Uranus sit at least twice as far away from the sun as the next closest planet, Saturn. With this being the case, Uranus’ orbit around the sun is also double that of Saturn’s, thus doubling the size of what was then believed to be the entirety of our solar system.…

    Johannes Kepler

    Kepler discovered one of the most famous discoveries of astronomy. Planets orbit the sun. The sun does not orbit the planets. He posed a question of the planetary motion. Later, Newton took to answer. Kepler also came across the paths of planets. Their path was elliptical, not circular. Planets move in ellipses with the sun at one focus. Prior to this in 1602, Kepler found from trying to calculate the position of the Earth in its orbit that as it sweeps out an area defined by the Sun and the orbital path of the Earth that the radius vector describes equal areas in equal times. This idea became a very popular in the Scientific Revolution, as it aroused much questioning.…

    The planet Uranus was discovered in the late 1700’s by William Herschel, and this marked a whole new age of discovery because it was the first planet to be discovered in recorded history. He decided to improve astronomy by building a new telescope to look at the sky without his work being hindered by the quality of the current telescopes. Because he improved the technology of astronomy, he was able to get more involved in observing and searching for objects and other life in the night sky. While looking through his telescope Herschel came across what he thought to be a comet, but was unable to communicate with other astronomers because they could not see it with their lower grade telescopes. Another astronomer, Nevil Maskelyne, finally saw…
