no considered a planet. wtf? oh well.

*ChrisCantSkate* · 08-24-2006, 05:07 PM

its not... its a large comet in the kiper belt that comes close to our outer solar system. it dosnt follow the traditional paths or relative anlge to the sun as the rest of the planets. theres 3 or 4 other large ice rocks out there that would fall into the same catagory as pluto.

i just took astronomy over the summer and my teacher must have bitched about pluto 3 or 4 times

Meh...it's still a planet as far as I'm concerned. That's what they taught me when I was a kid, so that's what I'm going with. If it was important, things would be different...but it's not. Like I care exactly what Pluto is.

Ummm..."dummy's"? Ironic, since the apostraphy implies it's possessive, whereas the plural would be "dummies", dummy.

its kinda like in school I learned there were 4 oceans..when in fact there are 5 oceans

he Earth's oceans are all connected to one another. Until the year 2000, there were four recognized oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. In the Spring of 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization delimited a new ocean, the Southern Ocean (it surrounds Antarctica and extends to 60 degrees latitude).

I'm convinced everyone is just trying to confuse us

well in their defence they had no idea what pluto was when they named it a planet. it was a faint object bairly veiwable but they could plot a orbit and it was close to the rest of our planets. it has a "moon" so naturally we thought it was a planet. once they found its mainly the same composition as a comet, just a very large one and its moon was the same type of object only smaller, we had to rethink what pluto was. they finally decided to remove its planet status, it just took them a while. im glad they did, i really wana see the exploration into space go as fast as possible and if we dont change what we usta know into what we do know our progress will be much slower, which is not good for anyone
