Pluto Is The Smallest Planet In The Solar System

1. Mercury - Smallest and innermost planet.
Venus – Second planet from the sun. Rotates in the opposite direction than most other planets.
Earth – Third planet from the sun. Known as the only planet to harbor life.
Mars – Fourth planet from the sun and the second smallest in the solar system.
Jupiter – The fifth planet from the sun and the largest in the solar system.
Saturn – Sixth planet from the sun. Only planet with a ring around it.
Uranus – Seventh planet from the sun. Third largest planetary radius.
Neptune – Eighth planet from the sun and also known as the farthest (If Pluto isn’t a planet)
Pluto – It is known as a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond Neptune. It was the first Kuiper belt to be discovered.
2. I think what makes a planet is the orbit around the sun and their celestial body. Scientist say that Pluto is now known as a dwarf planet in our solar system. Pluto is smaller than the Earth’s moon. They left Pluto in the cold.
3.
A celestial body that resembles a small planet (Pluto is the smallest) but has a lacking of technical criteria they are required for a planet to have.
4. I think Pluto is a dwarf planet because the article states that dwarf planets are very small and Pluto is very small compared to the other planets. I also think Pluto is a dwarf planet because it has a lacking of many things, I think it’s nowhere near a regular
planet.
