Is planet PLUTO still considered a solar system member ?
Question:
Answer:
Pluto is still a member of our solar system. They just downgraded it's classification to dwarf planet. It's still in a solar orbit.
UB313, now officially known as Eris is also classified as a dwarf planet of our solar system.
It is no longer considered a planet.
it isn't a planet now.
pluto is not a member any more. they are going to change it in the text books too.
It is still part of our solar system. Solar, meaning "sun", so anything that revolves around our sun is part of our solar system, even if it is not a planet. Earth's moon is part of our solar system, and so is the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Pluto is still a member of the solar system, just like the asteroids are. But it is no longer considered a full fledged planet. It is now considered a dwarf planet, which is a new category defined specially to describe things like Pluto and UB313. It is just like how the new category of asteroid was made up in the 1800s to describe things like Ceres and Vesta. Ceres (the first asteroid discovered) was originally called a planet too.
Pluto has been traded to Alpha Centauri for two asteroids and a comet to be named later.
