Why Pluto was voted out of space.
Pluto’s fate was determined at the International Astronomical Union conference in Prague in 2006. Astronomers decided that Pluto was no longer a planet. According to this group’s definition, a planet has to be an object that orbits the sun and is large enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. A planet also has to be the largest object in the space in and around its orbit. The astronomers now classify Pluto in the “dwarf planets” category. There are 44 of these dwarf planets, and Pluto is considered one of them because it isn’t the dominant force in its own orbit. These new definitions of planets will make it very dififcult to find a new planet. However, this also means that discovering a new planet will be something much more significant.
