Should Pluto regain its planet status

[percysunshine]

I think Pluto should regain it's planetary status since it has a moon and that the tenth planet should be named Micky.

*****CHUCKLE*****

Also, Pluto is transgendered,,,

 

[Moonglow]

It has its own Moon ferchristssake!!

You did notice the Sun has no moon and yet it is not designated as a planet.

Pluto should be the 9th planet.

Um. No. If you count Pluto as a planet, you also have to count Charon, Eris, Sedna and a whole lot of other bodies that are smaller than Earth's Moon, and some of the Jovian Moons and Titan.

So who's the dumbass that took it away in the first place???????

I mean, how am I ever going to remember the planetary positions if one of them isn't included????

My (Mercury)
Very (Venus)
Educated (Earth)
Mother (Mars)
Just (Jupiter)
Served (Saturn)
Us (Uranus)
Nine (Neptune)

Nine what???? IF they'd left it alone, would be Pumpkins (Pluto)…..but without it, it just leaves a big hole of a question.

This is the first time I heard of this ( what do you call it????


I forgot)


All I remember is H.O.M.E.S


Huron

Ontario

Michigan

Erie

Superior

That was from like elementary school and taught as a way of remembering the planets and their position and distance from the sun. One of the few things my mind hasn't lost yet.

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pumpkins.


I do not remember H.O.M.E.S...….but then I'm not from that area and may not have been taught it.

Homes was from my elementary school era 1970s I never heard of yours till now, it was hard for me to remember them in the 2nd grade and times tables was a bitch in the 3rd grade. Lol


Good god why did they make us remember them when we have smart phones now?


.

Cause back then, WE were the smart phones. (they weren't invented yet)


I did ok with the times tables when I learned it was just counting by X number. Although 9's, when written out 1 thru 10...the answer is the numbers reversed.


9x1=09
9x2=18
9x3=27
9x4=36
9x5=45
then reversed
9x6=54
9x7=63
9x8=72
9x9=81
9x10=90

Dang.

The way I learned military time (I picked up this trick myself ) just add 2

3pm = 01500

6 pm = 01800

8 pm = 2200 hour

Or deduct 12..

Okay so I only really know a lot about this because I teach Holst "The Planets". In the course of my 25 year teaching career, Holst has been wrong in having Neptune as the last planet in our Solar System...than correct...and now it looks like he might be wrong again.

"Science" everyone. "Science"

Nah, we're just letting Pluto back in. He was fun to have around. Nobody knows about the others, but everyone knows Pluto.

Really? they each have their own Moon?

I thought it was reclassified a dwarf planet years ago?

You really are quite stupid - it's why you're a Communist.

Bodies that orbit a star are called planets. Can you say "planet?" I didn't think so. Bodies that orbit planets are called moons. "M O O N - that spells Joe's retarded."

Eris actually is a dwarf planet.

That's not "science". That's nomenclature.

Comets orbit stars... we don't call them planets.
Asteroids orbit stars... we don't call them planets.

The Dwarf Planets have more in common with comets than planets.. I object to even calling them Dwarf Planets.

There are seven moons in our solar system that are larger than Pluto and Earths Moon is one of the.

More importantly, Pluto is an eccentric orbit and we now know that there are dozens more bodies like it beyond Neptune.

So what? Do they have their own moon like Pluto?

Mercury doesn't have its own moon and its smaller than Ganymede and Titan.

So it should lose its planet status as well?
