Still Learning. Pluto: Not A Planet
• Pluto, the distant ice-covered world is no longer a
true planet as of 8/24/06
• A full-fledged planet is an object that orbits the sun and is
large enough to have become round due to the force of its
own gravity. In addition, a planet has to dominate the
neighborhood around its orbit.
• Pluto has been demoted because it does not dominate its
neighborhood. Charon, its large "moon," is only about half the
size of Pluto, while all the true planets are far larger than their
moons.
