What is Pluto if not a planet?


Sagot :

WHY IS PLUTO NOT A PLANET

Pluto's characteristics doesn't fit anymore to the new definition of a planet, that's why in the year 2006 the IAU or International Astronomical Union decided and voted to downgrade and change the status of Pluto from planet into a dwarf planet.

REASONS

• Pluto is too far away from the Sun, and doesn't have an established orbit, like any other planets.

• Pluto wasn't able to clear out its path of orbit, from small chunks of other debris and celestial bodies.
