cause Xena might be included and then they need to have a sentence ending with xylophone or something and there might become a ceres between mars and jupiter | ||

they'll probably include at least one if not two so our solar system might benefit from this whole ordeal | ||

My very eyes may just see under nine planets. the solar system is gay like that. always changing with new discoveries and shit. isn't there some shit about how the zodiac system isn't even accurate, like if u think ur an aquarius, technically ur really a capricorn, cuz they discovered somethin recently or somethin. So ignore those horoscopes..not that u put any stock into to begin with.... | ||

For one thing, the other 8 planets all orbit in roughly the same plane (the ecliptic). But Pluto is way off the ecliptic plane. Also, its orbital eccentricity is a lot higher than any of the 8 planets, which have roughly-circular orbits. As a result, Pluto is sometimes closer to the Sun than Neptune. Furthermore, the 8 inner planets dominate their respective orbits: none of the nearby asteroids or comets even come close to their massive sizes. But Pluto -- which doesn't even have a "normal" orbit -- doesn't dominate its region to nearly the same degree. There are other objects of comparable sizes in similar orbits. The most obvious one is its "moon" Charon, which is so massive compared to Pluto that the two bodies mututally-orbit a point (the barycentre) in between them. In contrast, our Moon and the Earth mututally-orbit a point within the Earth, and the same goes for all other planets and their moons. As I see it, Pluto is fundamentally different from the other 8 planets. And, apart from its slightly-larger size, it is not fundamentally different from any other comets in the Kuiper Belt. To me, it's pretty obvious that Pluto just doesn't belong with the others. So screw tradition: it's time to undo one of our long-lasting mistakes. | ||

Thats because Pluto doesnt play by anyones rules besides his own. He would never do. He plays by his own rules. Nobody else's. Not even his own. | ||
