Thesis: Pluto is a dwarf planet, dwarf planets are just like regular planets but much smaller, dwarf planets do not clear the path around the sun.
The fascinating dwarf planet Pluto is much more petite than the other planets in our Solar System, which makes it a dwarf planet but that is not the only reason why. In the solar system the dwarf planet does not complete the neighborhood around Pluto’s orbit which means it doesn’t clear the path around the sun, this is another reason why Pluto is a dwarf planet. The dwarf planet Pluto has five moons Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. The gigantic moon Charon is Pluto’s largest moon nearly half the size of the dwarf planet itself. The dwarf planet Pluto that was once the minute planet out of them all is now the largest dwarf planet that scientists know of in the solar system.
The tiny dwarf planet Pluto is a massive associate of the Kuiper Belt (a shadowy zone beyond the orbit of Neptune). Nevertheless, if Pluto is near the sun the ices on Pluto’s surface thaw and form a thin atmosphere, this atmosphere consists of nitrogen and little amounts of methane. Pluto’s atmosphere only will stay temporarily. However the rotation of Pluto spins backward from east to west. Pluto’s average distance from the sun is about …show more content…
The dwarf Planet Pluto was classified as a Planet shortly after it was discovered, and for 75 years it remained a Planet. However in 2006 on August 24th the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decided they would make a new definition of Planets and Pluto was not one of them. As we all know today Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet. The heart shape region on Pluto is called Sputnik Planum, this region is composed of Nitrogen, Carbon Monoxide, and Methane ices. The ices flow like glaciers, it is thought that they flow like glaciers here on Earth but water ices on Pluto are very hard and virtually
