Should Pluto Be Considered A Planet

Many may urge that Pluto should be considered a planet for it has similar characteristics as the planets of the Solar System; however, others still believe that Pluto should not be considered a planet because of its slight differences and conditions that are not matched. Pluto is recognised by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) as a dwarf planet for it doesn't match the third condition of what defines a planet. IAU proposed three conditions to becoming a planet. The first condition being:

Pluto isn’t a planet for many reasons the main one being, it only follows two of the three criteria of being a planet. According to the article “Pluto: Planet or not?”, for Pluto to be a planet it needs to meet three pieces of criteria. In the article “Pluto: Planet or not?” it states that “Pluto meets two of these three criteria.” Therefore, Pluto should not be considered a planet because, it doesn't meet the criteria it needs to. Many scientist would agree that Pluto is considered a dwarf planet

Did Pluto Deserve to be Demoted? In the article "Pluto not a Planet, Astronomers Rule" from National Geographic it states, "a full fledged planet is an object that orbits the sun and is large enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. In addition, a planet has to dominate the neighborhood around its orbit." (National Geographic). Pluto does not meet these requirements therefore it should not be considered a planet. Pluto does not dominate its neighborhood. Pluto's orbit

Pluto is Not a Planet I do not believe that Pluto should be a planet because it does not hit all the requirements that are needed to be a planet.These requirements are to be a sphere shape, clear your orbit around the sun and to orbit only the sun. Pluto should not be an exception to the rules of our solar system.Pluto doesn't hit all of these therefor it should not be considered a planet. Pluto should not be considered a planet because it did not meet requirements. There are many requirements that

Pluto’s Planet Status When looking at whether Pluto should be a planet a consideration must be made of if it meets certain qualifications. We saw in the qualifications in the latest chapter, and the biggest one that takes Pluto out of the planet discussion. The qualification that it must be able to clear its own orbit. Which Pluto does not do that at the moment, and that is why it should not be considered a planet. That is the reason it is called a dwarf planet, even though it orbits the sun. Furthermore

There is one particular planet in our solar system that is brimming with these possibilities. However, for nine years it has not actually been considered a planet. The “dwarf planet”, Pluto, has been overlooked and misrepresented in astronomy and planetary science. Since being demoted from planet status to dwarf planet status, little Pluto has raised some big questions about what defines a planet and what does not. In this paper, I will attempt to persuade you that Pluto should be promoted back to its

Pluto is a planet because it meets the expectations of being one. According to Discovery education that in order to be a planet it has to orbit the sun,be round and be maintained by it’s own gravitational force, and that it must have cleared the neighborhood around it’s orbit of other objects and pluto follows ⅔ which should be considered a planet.That means that pluto is a planet if it can meet the expectations.It orbits the sun like other planets do which still means it should still be a planet

The articles “Why Pluto had to go” Pluto should not be a planet, and “War of the Worlds” argued that Pluto argued that the object in space, Pluto should be a planet. “Why Pluto had to go” argued this statement by saying that Pluto’s size is too small, doesn’t follow the orbit such as other planets with the sun, and compare to the other planets such as Jupiter’s moons and cloud bands, it just doesn’t make the cut. “War of the Worlds” explains the reasons that Pluto should be a planet by giving facts

Anderson Mr. Engstrom Physics 3B 6 May 2016 Pluto Recently Pluto was declassified as a planet leaving only eight planets in Earth’s solar system. There were many mixed feelings about the declassification. Many people were happy because they thought pluto should have never been considered a planet in the first place. People thought that pluto was far to small and too far away to be a planet in the first place, over shadowed by the much larger nearer planets to it. Meanwhile other people were distraught

Should Pluto be a planet? Should there be eight or nine planets in the solar system? Some. people agree that Pluto should become a planet, but researchers and scientists know better. An example of this is that Pluto only two of the three rules to be classified as a planet. Scientists including International Astronomical Union’s president and astronomer Mike Brown have gladly accepted this idea and even have evidence to support it. Third, people already have a hard time learning all the planets in
