Pluto

Hi guys. Today we will be talking about Pluto. I've always wondered why Pluto was called a dwarf planet, but in this post, we will find out. To start, Pluto is about 3.67 billion miles away from the sun. Pluto follows an elliptical orbit around the sun and like I told you in the post Neptune, Pluto follows an orbit that crosses Neptune's orbit, so keep in mind that this distance is the average distance. Pluto has a twin moon called Charon. These 2 moons are always facing the same side, so if you were on Pluto, you would only see the front side of Charon and not the back side, no matter where ever you are in the orbit. Pluto was known as a planet, until 2006, when the astronomers decided that Pluto didn't have the traits that a planet should have. Now Pluto is known as a dwarf planet. Pluto is a rocky planet containing rock and ice. Pluto's position is in between Neptune and Eris as you can see from this map.




















(This map does not have all the dwarf planets, but it has some.)

So, now you know that Pluto got demoted to a dwarf because he didn't do well in school. Try your best in school and get good grades, or else you might get demoted as well!! Happy new school year!!(For the people who still go to school!!)
