Pluto Should Be A Planet

268 Words2 Pages

Pluto should still be a planet. The new definition of planet relies on information (mass, shape) that was not and could not be known in the 1930s. “Start calling Pluto a planet right now because that’s how science makes progress, by one person at a time being convinced of the truth and adopting it. Science is not decided by votes and you are not required to submit to nonsense.” When people explain why they think Pluto is not a planet, they say it’s just too small. In, addition to Pluto’s orbit Neptune’s gravity does affect Pluto. It keeps pluto in a resonant orbit - Pluto orbits the sun exactly twice in the time that Neptune orbits three times. That resonance is the result of Neptune’s gravity acting on Pluto.The IAU definition of a planet

    This goes hand in hand with Newton's Laws of motion and universal gravitation. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a gravitational force and Newton's law of motion states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. Newton's Laws back up Kepler's laws by explaining how the planets orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci or center. The force that allows this to happen to the planets are explained by Newton's law and that the gravitational force is moving the planets into rotation, as by the law of motion. These forces assisting each other can make phenomenon's occur such as tides.

    At the beginning both characters were very suspicious of each other. Their perspective on everything was a perspective with a lack of knowledge which caused a lot of suspicion and mystery. However as the story progressess Pluto and Thomas get to know each other and gain the knowledge to make the right conclusions about each other. I feel like the only reason that Thomas and Pluto could not make much progress through their relationship is because of the treasure. Pluto was extra protective from the Smalls since they were new and he did not know enough to trust them.

    The discovery of Uranus was a pretty big achievement for the astronomical world. It showed many that there was the possibility of many other planets existing in our solar system past Saturn. There wasn’t really that much thought put into identifying other planets past Saturn since almost everyone did not think that there would be planets out there. This all changed after William Herschel’s discovery in 1781. While it does mark an important achievement for the astronomical world, I do not think that he was really intending on finding a new planet, since it was generally accepted that there were not more for the past 2,000 years.

    Pluto, should once again be considered as a planet once again. First of all, Pluto fits two of the three requirements to be considered a planet. The currently considered dwarf planet has what Earth and most planets have such as moons,rocks,and ice and isn’t that small. The blue dot is also largely undiscovered celestial body and there is a long journey ahead. Another reason is that the head of NASA said that he considered Pluto, the blue dot as a planet.

    Pluto shouldn’t be a planet because it's not exactly like the other planets. According to NASA they state that Pluto cannot be a planet because it only meets 2 out of three criteria for a “true” planet. First of all, the object must orbit the sun. Second, the object must have a circular shape because of gravity. This shape must be created and maintained by the object's own gravitational force.

    This does not only prove my point further but it also should scare anyone to know that they could die from an illegal alien. Last but not least, is that if the aliens were allowed into America, the government would have to pay millions of dollars for their transition. The aliens are like blood sucking parasites, the blood being our money. Since hundreds and hundreds of the illegal immigration would pass into the U.S, we would be forced to let them not pay taxes. And their health and education, we would have to pay for that as well.

    he continues his explanation with “My pets, of course, were made to feel the change in my disposition. I not only neglected, but ill-used them. For Pluto, however, I still retained sufficient regard to restrain me from maltreating him, as I made no scruple of maltreating the rabbits, the monkey, or even the dog, when by accident, or through affection, they came in my way” (Poe, The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, page 532). In the beginning, the narrator maltreats the animals and even his wife, but not Pluto, he has a special connection with Pluto. Poe’s stories often show the narrator going mad and gaining a desire to hurt someone or something.

The U.S. believed that it in order to keep its position as a world leader, it was vital to beat the Soviet Union to the moon. A man on the moon would help aid the U.S. with new discoveries of extremely useful information about the moon. Information more valuable than a satellite could ever obtain (Space Race).

Pluto orbit lies 3 billion miles from the sun; it takes Pluto two and a half earthly centuries to complete a single orbit around the sun. Seen from Pluto, the sun appears merely as one bright star among many. Pluto 's moon, Charon, is nearly half the size of the planet itself and orbits Pluto once in every 6.4 Earth days. From Pluto, Charon appears eight times larger than our moon appears from the Earth.

    On a personal level, Uranus-Pluto conjunction in transit makes people resist imminent change, instead of embracing it as an opportunity, until the situation becomes very unstable. People with this aspect are afraid of change or to change and of being themselves and thus they project this onto others who are different and unique. They always look for common things with others or agree with others’ philosophies and ways of doing things in order to feel accepted. Often they are also hyperactive and they cannot concentrate. Mentally, they are very endowed with superior intelligence and with creative talents and have access to super-consciousness sometimes being able to read people and being even telepaths.
