This was high quality as it got for so long. Imagine waiting for, I think it was 9 years, for the New Horizon project to reach Pluto. It was worth it though, we all wanted to know what it looked like, and what a beautiful planet it was.

@@Snorlax-zw9gc We got images from NASA who states they are of Pluto. Considering the equipment available when devices needed to send such a photo didn't exist for another ten years after the launch. nor is it possible for the existing radio antenna array to receive a signal from a device designed so long ago even possible. NASA being the only available source of data can state anything they wish, no one can prove them incorrect, well except for actual comparison of data available during the era it was sent on its voyage and the era is was supposedly received.

To this day, there is no Kuiper Belt Object bigger than Pluto. Eris is the only object to have a higher mass and comparable size. Based on outdated estimations, Eris was supposedly bigger than Pluto, but New Horizons discovered that Pluto actually had a bigger diameter, if only by 50 km. the other three dwarf planets, which are also the biggest non-planetary objects in the solar system, are 963 km (Ceres), 1502 km (Makemake) and 1920x1540x990 km (Haumea, ellipsoid shape); compared to 2326 km (Eris) and 2374 km (Pluto). The only object that could be bigger than Pluto would be a Planet Nine or a stray object that hasn't been found yet.

Indeed.

Rather, they're both made up of ammonia, methane, and water. The last of which is kept under such high pressure by the other two that never evaporates despite reaching temperatures of more than 350°F.

To a point, the word “planet” is a human invention and open to interpretation, so this is literally astronomers changing science. A planet isn’t like a hydrogen atom: there is no disagreement as to what an atom is or its structure. The word “planet” suffers from the same issue as “continent”: no real formal definition. Astronomers decided that a planet has to be round (its characteristics allow it to be as such), under the influence of a star, and “cleared the neighborhood” around its orbit. But this last condition was conveniently added to justify the recategorization and it’s not something that the cosmos has. Jupiter, for example, has trojan asteroids in its orbit (in front and back). Is that “cleared the neighborhood”? What about the near-Earth objects (like asteroids) that come close to Earth or even orbit Earth? What other Pluto-sized objects orbit close to Pluto that its orbit is not cleared? So, yes...science changes when discoveries are made. For this, however, it was just astronomers making a list even more exclusive but nothing else has changed (Pluto still orbits the Sun, still preserves its characteristics, still has a circular orbit (compared to other KB objects), and is among the bigger objects beyond Neptune).

good lesson in both history and science! Basically, nationalistic Americans (including some astronomers) pushed Pluto as a major planet in the public news media, and those many who questioned Pluto as a major planet in the decades following its discovery in 1930 didn't care enough to make a big deal of challenging it; there were other "more important" things to tackle, and besides, actual physical information on Pluto was simply lacking until its first satellite Charon was discovered in the late 1970s.... Some of the most-used university astronomy textbooks in the 1930s and 1940s actually posited Pluto more as a minor planet. Disney apparently had a lot to do with entrenching Pluto in the American consciousness. But it always was a silly school exercise to memorize "nine major planets" (or even eight!) ...

If sheer size was the predominant factor for demoting Pluto, that reason might not be enough anymore... because as of now Pluto is the largest object (at least by volume) beyond Neptune.

At the time Pluto was demoted, NH had just been launched so there was no way to prove this until the spacecraft reached the destination. At this point, it’s not mass, volume, or size what matters but rather whether Pluto “has cleared the neighborhood of its orbit”. The answer is no, which is why Pluto is a dwarf planet.

As of now, the definition of a planet is as follows: 1. It must be large enough to collapse into a sphere under its own gravity 2. It must orbit a star (this mainly separates moons from planets though it also means rouge planets don’t count) 3. It must be gravitationally significant enough to clear its orbit from other objects (save those orbiting itself) (I’m guessing there’s an implied fourth point that it can’t be a star itself) Pluto mainly falls in point 3, as its orbit does take it far into the Kuiper belt. Pluto does not however only orbit in the Kuiper belt. It’s orbit is highly elliptic and actually crosses inside Neptune’s orbit.

There should be no debate, there are certain requirements needed to be classified as a planet. 1. Must orbit the sun, Pluto does this 2. Must be formed into a sphere under it's own gravity, Pluto has done this 3. Must clear it's orbit of other bodies, this is where Pluto fails to meet the classification, there are thousands of other bodies nearly the size of Pluto or larger in it's orbit.

The three criteria for planetdom, are 1, it must be spherical, 2, it must have a regular orbit around the sun, and 3, it must have cleared its path of orbit. so because pluto is in the Kuiper belt, it has not cleared its orbit, and is therefore not a planet, and is instead a dwarf planet

the problem with that rule is since pluto is located in the kuiper belt, it would need a giant ass gravity to clear it's neighborhood, so high, even Earth wouldn't be able to do it, so how is thay fair? On top of that Neptune also has multiple aestroids in its orbit so it should be considered a dwarf planet? This is when the rule is slightly messed up
@LewisWallin7 жыл бұрын
Earth isn't located in the Kuiper belt though, it's in the "Earth belt". Earth shares this area of the solar system with a handful of asteroids and the Moon. The difference between Earth & Neptune and bodies in the kuiper belt like Pluto is that both of those planets dominate their "belts". Pluto comes nowhere close to being the dominant force in the Kuiper belt. So "Clearing its orbit" really means "Clearing its orbit of competing bodies". Hope that helps.

Now, Pluto can't clear objects out of its path. Hence its called a dwarf planet.
