Miss u Pluto


I am sure you all must have heard about Pluto no more is considered as a planet, it still exist but its no more considered as a planet.

Pluto was the 9th planet of our solar system (still exist in space.. yup need to repeat coz many thinks it has gone.), I always had feeling about Pluto that its not a planet its not a planet.. but still had to go with scientists.. hehehe :p ok am just kidding.. but I had feelings no any reason.. but just I felt.

International Astronomical Union (IAU), on 24th August, 2006 redefined definition of Planet, which makes Pluto no more Planet.. but now Pluto is considered as Dwarf Planet.

Planet - is in orbit around a star or stellar remnants, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (in proper words - nearly round) shape, is not massive enough to initiate themonuclear fusion of deuterium in its core (unlike Sun), and has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

Dward Planet - Is in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hyrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, Is not a satellite of a planet, or other nonstellar body.

whew, above definitions taken from Wiki Pedia, so please dont think that am smart.. hehehe...

now let me explain in a very simple words.... Pluto is not revolving around Sun as its supposed to be.. it comes between the way of Neptune planet, so Neptune planet complaint about Pluto to authorities on Earth thats IAU, IAU thought over it and gave punishment to Pluto. To get more idea.. check out the pic I have posted below.
