Pluto Planet

According to science a planet is a celestial body that is in the orbit of the sun, has a certain mass and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. A dwarf planet is also a celestial body that orbits the sun, has a certain mass, but has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and is not a satellite. This is what we use to classify planets but we don’t have an actual definition for the word planet. Pluto has been a part of our solar system for a long time now, but the question is Pluto a planet is still upon us. Some consider Pluto a planet and some consider it a dwarf planet. By using Kepler’s Third Law we figured out that the mass of Object X is 1.476*10^22kg, and expressed it in Mearth which equals .00247, in other words 405 Object X will fit onto Earth, therefore Object X should be considered a planet.
In our solar system we have moons, planets, dwarf planets, comets and asteroids, minor plates, dust and gas and everything in our solar system revolves around the sun. The planets in the solar system have the certain mass to be classified as planets. Even though the mass of Object X is a lot smaller compared to all the other planets it does not mean it can’t be classified as a planet. In the article “When is a …show more content…
The object does not have a huge mass, but it still almost everything else that a planet should have. In Freedman’s article he talks about two people who discovered things about our planets and state just because it has a smaller mass does not mean it is not a planet. Additionally, we are not exactly sure what can and what can’t be classified as a planet since we don’t have a formal definition of the word. All in all, this object should be considered a planet based on the calculations we
