Is Pluto a Planet or a Star

     I was doing my assignment on planets and then I noticed that Pluto is a bit confusing because I don't know if it's a planet or a star.

     Then I researched and it said that Pluto is a dwarf planet. A dwarf planet is like a planet but they cannot clean this means that it does not sweep away the objects around it. Pluto as a dwarf planet has only two features. It is round and it revolves around the sun. There are more dwarf planets in our solar system. There are lots of dwarf planets but I can only name a few like Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Makemake, and Haumea.

The Dwarf Planet Pluto


     Every dwarf planet each has 1 moon but Ceres is the only dwarf planet that doesn't have any moon. Pluto has 5 moons. They are Charon, Hydra, Nix, Kerberos, and Styx. Charon is the biggest.

     I'm sure that there will be more planets to be discovered in the future. By the way, did you know that Eris is half the size of Pluto? This means that Pluto is the biggest dwarf planet in our solar system but there will be more soon I think. It's also very cold in Pluto. It's even colder than Antarctica.

The Solar System

     I learned this all from my science book and from the internet. I'm just telling you all this because some of you might be wondering why I'm doing this on my blog and so you might also get an idea what Pluto is. Well, that's all for today don’t forget to see my other posts. Bye.
