Why isn’t Pluto a planet? 🪨 #pluto #astronomy #space

You do care, those rule were updated to what they are now, which caused to reclassification and thus the rules arent as set in stone as presented. Its possible not to care, but your energy is too passive agfressive to be considered uncaring

Would if I tell you that shit ain’t real stop believing everything

Pluto did not only become a dwarf planet because he broke one of the three rules on being a planet, there was also the fact that when Pluto became a dwarf planet, there were already dozens more dwarf planets discovered and if they were called planets, then our Solar System would have dozens of planets and that would be a bit too much, so maybe Pluto’s dwarf planet status was a good idea for the earthlings to do, and hey! Pluto is not alone, he not only has four other dwarf planets and many other dwarf planet candidates on his side, he’s got five moons. Five! That’s more moons than the entire inner solar system combined!

Pluto is still a planet I sue the astrologers! I hate you!

Ok, yes, earth is not flat. But pluto is still a planet, that's believable.

Born in 1983, graduated 🎓 high school in 2001, I was floored when PLUTO was kicked out of the PLANET CLUB and labeled a dwarf planet.

All through the 1990s, we learned about PLUTO being so dark & cold... sad that our 9th planet is no more, but we will be okay. 😢😢😢

Wait, what do you mean that would Planets would be able to clear their entire orbits but would dozens of asteroids make them not planets. You can’t define “entirely” cleared when none of our planets would qualify.

Slippery slope lmao

if Pluto is a planet then Ceres, Eris, Makemake, Haumea are planets too lmao

probably upto 25 if we account the "round enough" objects that are TNOs such as Gonggong, Quaoar, Sedna, etc.


like upto 130 if we account those "acceptably round"

now memorizing the planets becomes a nightmare so be careful what you wish for lol

Well Pluto is now the Hottest object within Kuiper belt

midget planet

In Indian version of textbooks the mnemonic used to be "My very excited mother showed us nine planets." School was a long time ago so I don't know if it's still the same.

Rules are meaningless if they can just be changed on the fly

why are people so attached to pluto- pluto don't pay yall's bills😭😭😭

NINETEEN YEARS AGO??!!!! What

If Pluto were to be a Planet we would have to upgrade a whole bunch of bodies along with it 😁

Honestly, screw our classifications

My very educated mother a Canadian just served us nine pizzas

Pluto doesn’t care. Pluto knows that Pluto’s hot shit

Actually, Pluto is a dog.

wait until its full orbit in 2076 or 2078

Team Pluto is a planet

You have MOVA globe Pluto

Dont bully Pluto 🥲

Pluto will always be a planet who dared to have a heart for me ... ❤🎉😊

Nachos are better then Pizza

Pluto orbits the sun and has enough gravity to be a sphere but it didn’t completed its path but 2/3 doesn’t cut it

IDC RULES ARE ROULES

who needs a nemonic for remebering planet names,
He: you are underestimating my ability of messing up thing

I hate the people’s that decided that he’s not a planet

Technically Pluto is a planet, just because it is small and not cleared of asteroids, if we were to say Pluto is a object in space it would have to be the size of a car, but it is a dwarf planet indicating it has some similarities to a planet such as earth

pluto.... is.... a... PLANET!!!!
im not joking.

IDC RULES ARE RULES

I was taught it as “my very energetic mother just sat up now”

Congrats! U found Pepsi man!

Rules are meant to be broken.

Plus the third planetary rule doesn't even disqualify Pluto anyway, or basically any other planetary object. Unless someone thinks that tiny icy spacerocks are anywhere close to the size of Pluto, which they definitely aren't. And no, Orcus doesn't count, unless the IAU stops believing in "Trojan" or "very very barely probably not even Trojan" orbital relationships between objects. In general this rule has always been dumb and I kinda wish more people would recognize its faults. We can do better.

So sad, Pluto the god can’t even get love neither can the planet

Black Hole: can i be a Planet?

i hope as many people as possible see my comment

the requirements dont even make sense

there are planets that don’t orbit a star, but are still called planets (rogue planets)

wasp 12b is so close to its star its no longer a sphere and somehow it’s still called a planet

if pluto “isn’t a planet” because it hasn’t cleared its orbit then Jupiter isn’t either because the trojans astroids are still in jupiters orbit and jupiter hasn’t cleared any of these asteroids from its orbit and somehow jupiter is still called a planet

the only “argument” the I.A.U has is the 3 criteria that don’t even make sense

shame on the I.A.U. they are just being Mingwangphobic (the fear of pluto)

Idc, it’s a planet

Pluto is my favorite “planet” and he’s always my favorite.

Remember folks, there are at least 5 dwarf planets in our solar system. If you accept just Pluto without wanting the other 5, that's, discrimination.

👇 People who feel bad for pluto

Woah woah woah woah. Forget Pluto. As a half Italian half Spanish person I’ve been debating this for YEARS. Nachos or Pizza… which truly are the better food?!?! 😮

He’s a planet, a dwarf one

Pluto is the tomato of planets

Pluto: My favorite planet.

In my mind Pluto will be a planet as long as I live...being I'm 76 yrs.old, it hasn't long to go.

Which sounds cooler, the mysterious planet X, or undiscovered planet 9? They just wanted to make that extra undiscovered planet sound less cool.
