Example:0.Is Pluto no longer a planet? Yes, It is
Is Pluto a Planet?
‘Dwarf’ is a very little star
Many people are saying that Pluto is no longer a planet. National Geographic News says
that, according to the International Astronomical Union, a full planet is an object that orbits the
sun and is large enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. Because Pluto
doesn't meet these standards, the International Astronomical Union classifies Pluto as a dwarf
planet. Not everyone agrees that this is a good way to decide, though. Andy Cheng, a planetary
scientist at Johns Hopkins University, says that the new rules aren't clear enough and asks the
question “how round is round?” “...I'll still continue to maintain that Pluto is a planet," he said.
Owen Gingerich is an astronomer and historian at Harvard University in Cambridge. He
favored a special distinction for Pluto. Gingerich supported a proposal to call the big eight
planets classical planets—as opposed to just plain "planets"—and Pluto and the others dwarf
planets, so there would be two classes of planets. He believes that reclassifying Pluto as a dwarf
planet is not "sensitive to the historical and cultural role that Pluto has played." The argument
continues. What do you think it is?
