Question

Should Pluto be considered as a
planet? Give TWO (2) reasons for your
response.

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Pluto is a dwarf planet because it doesn't meet the criteria to be a full sized planet. Pluto orbits the sun and has sufficient mass to assume a nearly round shape, but has not "cleared the neighborhood" around the orbit. Because it doesn't meet the criteria to be classified as a planet, it should not be considered a planet. Pluto is a dwarf planet.

Answer 2

Since Pluto is as small as it is, it’s been declared a dwarf planet. This being the case is clear evidence that it should not be declared a normal planet. Also considering the fact it’s the size of some moons also helps the case of why it shouldn’t be a planet.
