-Sailor Spira- Ryuondo Pluto's only been downgraded to a Dwarf Planet. It's because it and it's moon are about the size of the US is wide when placed side by side. It's still a planet, just a new classification. I thought it was because they found 2 more and they couldn't classify them as planets so they had to down grade Pluto to a Dawarf planet with what ever them named the other two because it was in the same classification of some sort of scientificy thingy.
Scientists have found 44 dwarf planets, this includes some comets and asteroids, in the Kaiper Belt. Mind you, if it's big enough to be considered a dwarf planet, that's a big freaking hunk of ice and rock. Again it's still a planet, just a dwarf planet. Before everything that orbited a star was a planet. Now, after being redefined, it has to have been formed under it's own gravity and has to dominate it's neighbors. Pluto's largest moon, Charon, is half it's size. Again, both Pluto and Charon side by side are roughly the distance across the US. So in planetary terms, they are tiny.

No prob. Astronomy is a neat subject. As is most science.
