This forum was opened in 2007 and after nearly 16 years needs to be retired. The forum software is long out of date and has become progressively harder to patch in order to run on newer hosting software. I have done what I can to get the forum up in a read-only view, but posting will remain broken. A few old members still hang out on Discord if you'd like to stop by to say hello.
Thanks for the memories. -Lhurgoyf

Well, I think their judgement is silly. What exactly is the criteria for being called a planet? It orbits the sun, it has moons, its atmosphere is strong enough to hold gas. Why is it different than other planets? Its orbit is oval shaped, the planets mass is believed to be made up of solidified non-phosphates, and its the smallets planet, but every planet has its differences. There is actually a large planet that orbits the sun between Satern and Uranus that, but isn't considered a planet because of its small size. Why change it now?

Technology + the fact that it DOESNT have an atmosphere.
Its still a "planet"
Its just not like any of the others. Its no where close to the size of the others, its a ball of ice, and i agree with them.
Lets see guys, the proffesionals, the experts, and the fanboys all agree.
But you noobs still debate it. You dont know what they know, and THEY know 9478290475234957 times as much as you. You cant argue the facts they have given.
kthxbye

Pluto has an atmosphere made up of nitrogen.
As for it being a ball of ice, You could techincally say Jupitar is just a ball of gas, or Saturn is just a ball of gas. And about us noobs debating it, I beleive you are conveniantly thinking that this decision is unanimous.
I don't believe Pluto should have been named a planet to begin with, although it will be interesting to see the criteria for which a planet will be named.

Jupitar and Saturn bouth have core's.
Pluto doesnt have an atmosphere, its been stated several times.
I agree with the thing they shouldnt of named it a planet in the first place, but remimber it was in the 1930's. Now we have satalites at the edge of our galaxies trying to break the wind barrier, which is pusshing over a million mph.
We have satalites who have taken pictures of all the planets, orbited all of them, and sent us information. We have another launch for march comming soon. Along with the richest country on the planet(china) starting their space expidition. I do belive they are going to fail they launch and ask us for help.
But i think what they have stated is fact.

I say if you want to believe it's a planet, then do so, and if you don't, that's fine too

They are facts, facts that have been proved with new technology. You do have to understand it was the 1930's when they found it and imedietly named it a planet. Now we have the technology to explore, so yeah.
