Officially, how many planets in our solar system now?

With so many finding about different comets as planets ,people was confused about the information regarding our solar systems because some schools still using the old text book,now we need to know the truth.

When a NINE turns out to be EIGHT. It’s not so great! It’s not so great!

Sung to the tune of Jimmy Hendrix song.

A year or so ago, the people who find themselves in charge of determining just how many planets there are in the solar system determined that Pluto, now, is a captured planet. It didn’t form with the rest of them. *shrug* They determined this by looking at its orbit. It’s the most askew of the nine. Now, this COULD have been due to an impact a long time ago that set its orbit askew, and that must have been a HUGE rock that did that. Since Pluto resembles the moon to a great extent we should be able to see evidence of such an impact if it did happen.

Kind of funny if this is the case because you would think that such an occurrence would be reserved for a planet much bigger than Pluto, like Jupiter or Saturn, but who knows? Pluto, also, is the only terrestrial planet THAT far away from-the-sun. EVERYTHING else that far away is gaseous, save the asteroids. Maybe they used that clue to determine that Pluto, really, doesn’t belong among the inner eight planets.

Orbiting at the edge of the outer Solar System, Pluto is an intriguing object in astronomy. Since the fascinating events surrounding its discovery, it has helped increase our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Solar System, and raised questions about the nature and benefits of scientific classification. This is a timely and exciting account of Pluto and its satellites. The author uses Pluto as a case study to discuss discovery in astronomy, how remote astronomical bodies are investigated, and the role of classification in science by discussing Pluto’s recent classification as a dwarf planet. Besides Pluto, the book also explores the rich assortment of bodies that constitute the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt, of which Pluto is the innermost member. Richly illustrated, this text is written for general readers, amateur astronomers and students alike. Boxed text provides more advanced information especially for readers who wish to delve deeper into the subject.
