Research Paper On Pluto
To be considered a planet of our solar system you need many different aspects which may seem effortless to understand although there is endless information which is new to scientists everyday.
Pluto has some but certainly not all the qualities as it was found orbiting the Kuiper belt which is beyond the orbit of Neptune, the current furthest planet from the sun. Pluto has been one of the 9 planets in the past, but now that scientists have higher tech machines and programmes to allow them to explore further and deeper than just around the sun, they soon found out that pluto is a dwarf planet. Neptune in the past was second furthest from the sun, now the furthest as its neighbour pluto has vanished to an additional solar system.
The main principals a planet requires, is to have a certain amount of gravity allowing itself to form a spheric shape as it has to remain the same. On top of that, circulating the sun following the driven orbit the planets are required to have. If surrounding moons are at a certainty of similarities in size, it should not be able to follow its orbit having another large rock or gas constantly in the way. …show more content…
The kuiper belt is a faraway region, further than neptune made from the left over particles that the planets left over when forming. It consists of many dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and any ice figured
