Why pluto is not a planet - Facts about Pluto the dwarf planet

 On February 18, 1930, the American astronomer Clyde Tombog discovered the ninth planet, Pluto in our solar system. An 11-year-old girl from England named it Pluto. There is a layer of nitrogen gas. The length of its orbit is about 5,913,520,000 kilometers from the Sun. This planet is located far away from the Sun, that's why the temperature of this planet is very low, about minus 229 degrees Celsius. The mass of this planet is 1.303e22 kg and its diameter is 2372 kilometers.
Pluto is a planet much smaller than the Earth. As the Earth rotates the Sun from west to east, Pluto rotates the sun in the opposite direction, from east to west. In addition to Pluto, Neptune and Venus also rotate the sun from east to west. It takes about 5 hours for light from the sun to reach here, whereas it takes only 8 minutes for light from the sun to reach the earth. It takes 248 years for the planet to orbit the sun once, which means that 248 years of Earth is equal to one year of Pluto. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has never orbited the sun.

Differences between elite planets and dwarf planets:

On 24 August 2006, at a session of the International Astronomical Union, one of the world's leading space research organizations, the planets of the solar system was divided into two parts - 
1) the elite planet and 2) the dwarf planet.


But what is the difference between an elite planet and a dwarf planet?

The aristocratic planets and the dwarf planets both orbit a star in a fixed orbit and both have a fixed mass.
The dwarf planet, on the other hand, cannot remove all other magical objects from the vicinity of its orbit. And this is the biggest difference between the elite planet and the dwarf planet.


Reasons to call Pluto a dwarf planet:

              Pluto was considered a planet from the time of its discovery until 2006. However, the definition of a planet has changed since the discovery of Eris in 2003. According to the International Astronomical Union, the planet is said to be (1) orbiting the Sun, (2) round and fixed, there will be mass, and (3) keep its orbit and surroundings clean. That is, it will pull something in front of it towards itself or move it away from itself.
