I would not because Pluto is like the other planets even though that it is smaller that all the other planets and colder but I don’t think it was necessary
Answer:
Explanation:
we humans have our own ify classification for celestial objects, most people are saddened that pluto is not a planet anymore altho it hasn’t changed at all.
scientist say that if an object is going to be considered a planet it must fill in these three checkboxes:
You must be spherical, you must orbit a star, and you must have already cleared your path or debris.
Pluto fills in the first two boxes but it does orbit in the keyperbelt and there are 5 other objects just like it. this is why pluto has been dubbed a dwarf planet.
