    You mean to tell me it hasn’t even been a year (on Pluto) since we discovered Pluto?!

      It was discovered, made a planet, and then kicked out the club in that time.

        If you think 2020 was bad, wait until you hear about Pluto’s year… the American civil war, ww1, ww2, the great depression, the moon landing… the American civil war…

        It’s been a really rough year for Pluto. Let’s all wish it good luck next year (when humans are probably dead).

    Fine I’ll look it up. Discovered 1930, so that makes a Pluto year 248 Earth years.

    How can we even know it’s a planet when we haven’t observed a single orbit, yet?
    Maybe it’s just a really big comet.

      We’ve observed enough of its orbit to know what shape it is.

      It’s not really big. There are multiple Pluto like planetoids. Also there is a hunk of rock in the asteroid belt youcould name a planet.

        Ceres is more than a third of the mass of the asteroid belt. It’s at least an order of magnitude bigger than anything else in its orbit. It’s hardly a hunk of rock

          There’s also not that much rock, only 73% of the mass. The rest is ice and mud, with half it’s volume being water in some form.

      By measuring how fast it’s moving and where it is you can find the orbit

      depends on how you define “planet”.

        Dwarf planet is a planet!

        IAU names aren’t the best, “planet” should be major planet.
