Why isn't Pluto a planet?

Ever asked yourself- Why isn't this poor planet a planet anymore? Well, Pluto is no longer a planet because of astronomer' s rule. Each planet has to weigh more or AT least some weight. They couldn't find out Pluto' s mass so they allowed it to be a planet for a couple of years.

Then, they found one of the largest moons in the galaxy. It weighed more than Pluto so they renamed Pluto, Planet X.

Planet X was taken down close to 10 years ago and kids today are taught Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. And they are taught Pluto is no longer a planet.


Now, Pluto was taken down from the sky but they put it back up.

Love ya!

And know you know!
