Summary: Pluto was one of the 9 planets in our solar system. Now it has become a “Dwarf Planet”. This may be because it is farthest from the sun, or because it is the smallest of all of the planets in our solar system. Whatever the reason, it has been excluded from the Big 9 status. Did you know the Pluto is smaller than Earth’s moons? And the moons of Pluto are even smaller than Pluto itself.
Critique: Yes, I know this happened a long time ago, but sue me for not knowing. It makes me wonder how everything would be disrupted if we took it out. Like, if we disintegrated it from the sky. I think that a planet’s a planet, no matter how small. I mean, it would change everything, especially the orbit of the other planets.
Impact: The two closest Dwarf Planets other than Pluto are called Eris and Ceres. This is odd, because Eris is larger than Pluto, and it would qualify for another one of our planets. However, being in a different Belt, there is virtually no way of it interfering with our solar system, so long as it stays within the orbit.
