Should Pluto really be classified as a dwarf planet?
Have you ever wondered how many planets there are? Or have you wondered if Pluto is actually classified as a planet? Well scientists have discovered that Pluto is a dwarf planet.
What makes a dwarf planet a dwarf planet?
A dwarf planet like Pluto is a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, It has sufficient mass for its self gravity to overcome full body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium and it is also not a satellite.
So Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet and not a real plane in the solar system. Did you know that Pluto is the smallest planet. Thank you for reading our post I hope it was interesting for you.

I think it shouldn't because it is still a planet like all the rest but it is only a bit smaller so why is it

i think that pluto should be classed as a dwarf planet because I am pretty sure that it is the smallest planet and fits all the aspect of a dwarf planet so i think it should be a dwarf planet

i think it does because it is in space

I think Pluto should be a actual planet.

pluto should not be classified as a reaglur planet because normal planets are much bigger than pluto and it takes a long time to get there
I agree
Thank you for agreeing courageous_starfish!!!
You're welcome

I think that Pluto should be a dwarf planet so then space could be more interesting:).
I agree we could live on that planet in a billion years!

In my opinion due I believe that it should be called a planet

I think Pluto should be a planet because originally, it was a real planet but scientists said that Pluto was a dwarf planet and so I think Pluto should be classified as a real planet.

Good job!

I think it should be a dwarf planet because the would be more interesting but also l would like it to be a planet because we could find more stuff about it and I know we haven't been that far yet but I think we could preserve and get that far.
I also think that we could get Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus and Neptune (in the future).

I think Pluto is the dwarf planet.It should be called a planet.
I think its not a planet because it’s dwarf also it’s to small .

I think that Pluto is not the smallest because there are other dwarf planet in our solar system that we do not talk about.
But they are much futher away to take tests of, regarding how far away Pluto is.

i ment those

I think it should because I am not as tall as what all my friends are and I’m still classified as a human so just because Pluto a little bit smaller than the other planets it should still be classified as a planet.

Pluto is basically following the steps of the moon but orbiting the sun like earth does so should it kind of be counted as a planet?!?!

i think that pluto should be a planet because is it up in space?yes.does it circle the sun?YES!ten it SHOULD BE A PLANET!😡
22 Nov 2019
I think Pluto should still be a planet because scientists cannot go into space and remove Pluto just because it is smaller it still orbits the sun. It may be a bit different than the other planets but it should still be a planet 😊

Looking from my first comment I think Pluto should be a dwarf planet not a regular planet! Even though it still orbits around the sun I don’t think it should be a planet!😜

I do not think that Pluto should be classified as a proper planet because according to scientists a planet should be able to clear its own path, Pluto is to small to do so. Not only that Pluto is one of the many dwarf planets from the Kuiper belt.

I think it is not just because it is small doesn't mean it is a dwarf planet

i think it is to small to be a normal planet🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏
