Prompt for Pluto

Why I am Against Pluto Being A Planet

By: Bizzie Bowers

In the two articles “When Is a Planet Not a Planet” by Daniel Santos and “What Is a Planet” by NASA, the authors discussed if Pluto should be reclassified or not. Many people have opinions on whether Pluto should be a planet or not. In this essay, I will talk about why I strongly believe Pluto should not be classified as a planet.

I strongly believe that Pluto should not be a planet because it does not meet the third criteria. In my source, it states that the third criterion means, “It must have cleared other objects out of the way in its orbital neighborhood.” To clear its neighborhood means a planet must be large enough to pull neighboring objects into the planet itself or sling shot them around the planet and shoot them off into outer space. “The IAU says Pluto does not meet the third criteria but is in a new class called dwarf planets”.  Because of this criterion, I strongly believe that Pluto should be reclassified as a planet.

Another reason I strongly believe that Pluto should not be a planet is because the domino affects it will have. Have you ever heard the acronym to remember the planets: My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos. If you have, than think about this. If the IAU decides to reclassify Pluto, than 43 other dwarf planets will become planets. If 44 dwarf planets are classified, than we have to add 44 other words to remember them and that would be hard. The reason is because it is really close to the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt is a long line in the solar system that has gravity, which pulls lots of rock and ice. Because of this domino effect, I strongly believe Pluto should not be a planet.

In conclusion, After reading the two articles “When Is a Planet Not a Planet” by Daniel Santos and “What Is a Planet” by NASA,. I still strongly believe Pluto should not be reclassified as a planet. I also think the IAU made the right decision on how Pluto should not be a planet because of the effect Pluto will have on our solar system.
