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.
For a long time, we had no formal definition of what a “planet” actually was. We had come to0 be aware of nine objects in our solar system which we called “planets”. We were also aware of many, much smaller objects, such as asteroids, comets,and such, that we did not consider to be “planets”. But we didn't have a formal definition of what exactly constituted a “planet”.
With such technological advances as the Hubble Telescope, we became aware of dozens of objects in our solar system, larger than Pluto.
With the awareness of these other objects, in 2006, the International Astronomical Union met, finally, to come up with a formal definition of just what exactly constituted a “planet”.
The definition on which they finally settled includes these three criteria…
- is in orbit around the Sun,
- has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape), and
- has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit.
Pluto does not meet that last requirement. A competing proposal had only the first two requirements. That definition would have included Pluto, but it would have also included dozens of other now-known objects, and unknown many more yet to be discovered.
There really isn't any rational way to include Pluto in the formal definition of a “planet”, while excluding the dozens of other recently-discovered objects.

So if their are bigger objects then Pluto, how did he find Pluto and not the rest, with out powerful telescopes?
Pluto came late , what was it 1912 when discovered?

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?
.
Actually, 1930 would be correct, according to Wiki...Damn I almost said 1930, I don't know why I second guessed myself.

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
