#planets #dwarfplanet #space #spacefacts Pluto, once considered the ninth planet, got stripped of its planethood several years ago and was demoted to dwarf planet status. There continues to be a push to have Pluto reinstated as the ninth planet. Of course, to be a planet, you have to meet certain criteria. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which has the final say on matters of astronomical nomenclature, voted on a formal definition of what makes a planet. According to their decision a planet must satisfy the following three criteria: No. 1 It must be an object which independently orbits the Sun - this means moons can't be considered planets, since they orbit planets. No. 2 It must have enough mass that its own gravity pulls it into a roughly spheroidal shape. 3. It must be large enough to "dominate" its orbit (i.e. its mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit). Pluto fails to meet the third condition. Its mass is substantially less than the combined mass of the other objects in its orbit: 0.07 times, in contrast to Earth, which is 1.7 million times the remaining mass in its orbit (excluding the moon). The IAU further decided that bodies that, like Pluto, meet criteria 1 and 2, but do not meet criterion 3 would be called dwarf planets.
