Why Isn’t Pluto a Planet?

[mohammedyaser]

It's all because of Eris. She's the one who started all the drama

[sphericalcat]

remember that a dwarf planet is already a very very 'high' level of classification because less than 20 objects in the solar system are planets or dwarf planets

Pluto will always be a planet in my mind

Pluto is so small that they entire north amarican continent can be wrapped are and still have more left out.

[Saimeren]

He was the runt of the planets, but now he's the King of the asteroids!

Pluto was demoted from full planet status on my 7th birthday

Pluto doesn't care about humans opinion about him. He is secure planet

I did a small scientific work about Kepler objects. Basically there are a lot of object of different size and orbits, but all of them originate from Kepler's belt or Oort cloud and generally stay there, Pluto, though, enters the general area of our solar system, doesn't really belong to it, like a migrating bird.

Eris was actually the body that led to Pluto being demoted. The way it’s often phrased is that Pluto is the first body discovered in a new system: the Kuiper Belt.

I remember being a little kid, people always said "I hate what they did to pluto" and "what they did to pluto was evil" I was always so fucking confused.

Pluto got kicked out of Planet Fitness

Pluto and Charon fit the class of Double Dwarf Planet and it is amazing

Edit: Spelling

When you get demoted to being a dwarf planet but you're just a chill guy orbiting the sun

Short explanation:
All the other dwarf planets have the same qualities as Pluto that a normal planet might not have meaning if we were to classify Pluto as a planet all those other dwarf planets would have to be named a planet aswell meaning their could be trillions of planets in our solar system not being able to memorize all the names of the planets in our solar system which is why Pluto isn’t a planet.

People are so attached to Pluto being a planet when we realised he was never one to begin with. Meanwhile Ceres and Eris being dwarf planets for ages and don't get a mention in the curriculum.
Pluto is like that guy in the office on manager salary that never was one.

Pluto : I’m not even a planet 😭

Ceres : I’m not even a dwarf planet..

[Matthew-vrw]

Imagine being *almost* a celestial entity the size of 1/13 of the only known planet with life just to be demoted

[KnightOfGod]

Pluto will always be a planet in my eyes

The logic is consistent and consistency is great, but I think we should let this one slip by. Let's make Pluto an honorary planet.

They're just hating on pluto. Hate him cause they aint him
