Pluto, which had at that time been known as a planet, was downgraded. Instead of being downgraded to anasteroid, it became adwarf planet. A dwarf planet is a small planet that fails the third test. The asteroid Ceres, in orbit around the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, was upgraded from...
But what exactly is a planet? It seems like an easy question. After all, you’re standing on one right now! But the scientific definition was fairly loose until recently. The discovery of other solar-system “wanderers” rivaling Pluto in size suddenly had scientists asking what wasn’t a ...

How far is the planet Pluto from the sun? How far away is Charon from Pluto? How far is Pluto from earth in light years? What is the distance between Neptune and the sun? How far away is Venus from the sun in miles? How long was Pluto a planet? How long has Pluto not been a ...
