Can you pass a basic planet Earth science test??

It's Pluto's orbit that keeps it from being a planet, not its' size.Here are the orbits of Neptune and Pluto for 200 years:




as well as Saturn and Uranus. Saturn has about 6.8 laps, Uranus about 2.4, and 1.25 for Neptune. From the proximity to Neptune's orbit at one point, the only time where the orbital planes are the same, you have to figure that at some future date, Neptune will capture Pluto/ Chiron as moons, or there will be a collision with Neptune, or one of its moons.

So Pythagoras is wrong and Sergent Schultz is correct, "the Earth flat as a pancake".

You learn something on terb everday what what perb has to say

I am guessing its a security flaw more than anything , just poorly written code

Let me rephrase
You should not be able to do it
If you can your internet is exposed

I doubt it, its a Washington Times link. You probably have over-sensitive malware detector

What???
Noooo
(by that logic you do realize you would cause Neptune to cease being a planet as well
Even Earth, Mars, and Jupiter would cease being planets lol)
Pluto's biggest problem (literally) has to do with other objects (including its own moon, Charon)


Eris has the same problem; many newspapers crowed about it being the 10th planet before it was downgraded

Thats still up for debate: https://www.sciencealert.com/nasa-administrator-jim-bridenstine-says-pluto-is-a-planet

Alan Stern also is a harsh anti-dwarf planet protester

New planet definition sparks furore | New Scientist

Some astronomers say the Earth and three other planets fail to meet the criteria of the new definition, which was decided by just 4% of eligible voters

Plus the testis flawed. Still counts Pluto as a planet so its 20 years out of date

Not true at all
Depends where you live
Multiple States have even passed legislation confirming Pluto as a planet

New Mexico even has Pluto Planet Day as an official state event lol

I passed....barely. Tough quiz. Why did I think hydrogen and not nitrogen I know better. Sheesh.

85th percentile

What???
Noooo

I have no idea as to what is correct on this topic. Having said that, I'd be willing to bet that you are wrong.
