Do you think the addition of planets to our solar system is a good thing?
Question:
Answer:
I thought it was funny. It sounded like the ACC Conference adding new teams. I also didn't understand their criteria. Our moon doesn't count, but one of Pluto's moons does.
Sure. It just gives us a better understanding of the complexity of our solar system.
Not true. Everything that we know is NOT outdated. Anymore than the discovery of new species makes everything we know outdated. Things are just different. Dont let a fear of anyone looking stupid prevent you from accepting what has been discovered
Now as to whether or not its a good idea, I don't know. It would help alot if scientests could come to an agreement on how to define a planet before they start declaring things one.
Well, it gives us a better understanding of the complexity of the solar system. But it also reduces the importance of Juipter to the level of Ceres (a large asteroid) how does that benefit us?
Its a good thing, the most Bizarre thing is they discovered this almost last year?! They saw all the solar systems and they missed this?! wtf!!!but yeah, its all good. Kids in the future have to know the planets from OTHER galaxies lol
It depends on your interests, the thing is that it doesn't change anything but the way you used to see your world, if you are open minded then you'll realize that your universe is just growing bigger, and you'll also have more things tom learn. My point is the planets have always been there, so what is the real diference? None.
It just shows that our science is getting improved.It will only improve our knowledge.Not make us stupid.
Good? Bad? What's changed??
Yes.it's about time that the powers that be at least tried to expand on the definition of 'planet'. The ancient Greek astronomers only knew that planets 'moved' across the heavens, as opposed to fixed stars. By the nature of their definition, the Sun and Moon were also planets!
It doesnt really matter how many planets their are, as long at they are really 'planets'. There is a rerally big debate going on about planets, but i think they've finally found the true definition of a 'planet':
A planet has to be big enough to have enough gravity to shape it into a circular shape
It has to orbit around a sun/star
Having a natural satelite also makes it more 'planet-like'.
That about explains the term "planet"
Then there are other objects in the solar system, like asteroids, meteors, meteorites, comets, and all sonts of rebel and dust. ALl which shouldnt be classified as planets!
I believe that there are more planets in the solar system, but I dont want them to over do it, there are limitations to what can be called a planet! =D
It's a good thing that there is, or soon will be, a definition of "planet". Whether that adds, subracts or keeps the same the number and names of the planets is not relevant.
However, more planets will make it harder for students to remember them all.
They have not been added yet but if / when they decide, I
suppose I will just have to get used to it...
good thing or not we cant change it.....well watever happanes happens for good....this does prove mans improving... when there is somthin it is best to know abt it... after all thats wat education means~~awareness.we are educated tdy...itz best to make gud use of it..
