Re: Astronomers say Pluto is not a planet - merged

I was thinking like they could name Pluto as a ‘Planetoid’ (Planet + Asteroid) , but Dwarf Planet is OK.

Like a planet, Pluto is spherical, rotates on its axis, and has its own moon.
But like an asteroid, it has an orbit that is not on the plane with other planets, and which cuts through Neptune’s orbit.

Also, it is smaller than our moon, which is you know like an “insult” to a planet. A planet should atleast be bigger than any of the more than 100 moons that orbit the other 8 planets.

Its not a puddle, its not a lake. Tis a pond. Pluto is just that.

it's strange that we (humans) actually think we can put all things in universe into categories, which in themselves are just human creation and have no real universal value in themselves
