Pluto Case Study
Pluto should be reclassified as a planet because Pluto meets two out of the three requirements to be consider a planet. In order to consider an object in the outer space a planet scientist have to check three things, those three characteristics are the object orbits the sun, it has enough mass to overcome forces, and it dominates the area around the orbit. Pluto orbits the sun and it dominates the area around the orbit, but it does not have enough mass to overcome forces.
