Oh yeah and it is a planet, its just not in our solar system anymore, its classed as one of the "mini planets" or something.
Theres like 12 all together classing the mini planets.
its classed as a dwarf planet, but it is still in our solar system "/
What? Of course Pluto is still in our Solar System. It's just called a dwarf planet, instead of a planet.Quote:

As Pluto only has 2 of these traits, and has not cleared other objects away from its orbit (It passes through the orbit of Neptune), it is known as a dwarf planet.
The biggest flaw with this definition that i can see is, because Neptune passes through the orbit of Pluto, it hasn't cleared all objects away from its orbit, so technically, following this definition, Neptune should be a dwarf planet :s
You agaisnt the leading scientist's in the world. :PQuote:
