orbits the sun‚ it cannot be considered a planet because of its inconsistency in orbit‚ its size‚ and the abundance of asteroids in the vicinity of its orbit. Pluto does physically qualify as a planet. Being in a state of hydrostatic equilibrium meaning it has enough self gravity to pull itself into a round shape clearly distinguishes it and the other dwarf planets from shapeless asteroids. Pluto is the farthest planet from the sun and the smallest. Even though Pluto was discovered in 1930 not much is

so technically speaking‚ it does not clear its neighborhood. But that also means that Neptune does not clear its own neighborhood. Mars and Jupiter don’t clear their neighborhoods as they “interfere” with the Asteroids‚ and the Earth actually orbits the Sun with thousands of Asteroids. So the Earth doesn’t clear its own neighborhood either. So if we use the new definition‚ Pluto‚ Neptune‚ Jupiter‚ Mars‚ and the Earth‚ are not planets! Otherwise Pluto fits the definition for a planet; it is

make their own money to do it would help the government focus on things other than space travel. Doing this may have some unwanted side effects because if one of these companies gets to an asteroid with valuable materials or perhaps a material stronger‚ lighter‚ and durable than aluminum in or on that asteroid the company could move of earth and start a monopoly that the U.S. has no jurisdiction over.
