Things You Didn't Know About Pluto

Why Do We Keep Changing What It Means To Be A Planet?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOYyY8XzE64

Pluto will always be a planet to me.

With that temperature and wind speed, The Wind Chill Factor must brutal, poor Pluto, I was taught in school that it was a Planet, And I'm sticking to it, 😂 Thanks Ardit and Melissa. :_Satellite: 👍

Perfect! 👏🏼🔥

I always get teary-eyed about Pluto and New Horizon. 😢🥰

Pluto’s orbit is highly eccentric, which means it deviates significantly from a perfect circle. As it travels around the Sun, its distance varies dramatically. At its closest point (perihelion), Pluto is approximately 2.76 billion miles (4.44 billion kilometers) away from the Sun. However, at its farthest point (aphelion), it reaches a staggering distance of about 4.67 billion miles (7.5 billion kilometers). This extreme elliptical orbit results in significant temperature variations on Pluto’s surface. When it’s closer to the Sun, its icy surface may experience slight sublimation, releasing volatile gases into its thin atmosphere. Conversely, during its distant aphelion, temperatures plummet to around -375°F (-225°C), freezing any trace of atmosphere and causing the surface to become as hard as rock. Plus, it is the largest object in the Kuiper Belt with 5 moons.

oh damn Ardit.. this is funny as heck.. I took this one as if you were talking to me.. I could hardly sit on my chair with out laughing.. Especially when she said.. "pluto is not a planet so get over it".. I had to stop the video I was laughing so hard.. Though I will go to my grave defending my little planet pluto.. I found this to be the best video I have ever seen on YT.. I had to watch it twice so I could actually hear what Melissa was saying.. Oh my brother this was a good one.. thanks like I said I take this one as a personal video to me.. What fun! And a lot of good info too.. thanks guys! Carry on!

Just think that in a little over a hundred years we went from the Wright brothers to sending a spacecraft to Pluto

Pluto is a mystery since my childhood

Guys, nice video as always, but... what happened to the good habit of using internatinal units? (or at least both!!)... it is a pain to see a video with a calculator in one hand to realise how much are some °F (which btw are only used in the US) or to convert all distances from miles to km.... Just a recommendation and a reminder that your audience is across the whole planet ;) Besides that, lovely video as always Thanks anyway

theres so many things i dont know about the universe but i have an entire life to seek awnsers

Nice

Pluto didn't meet the 3rd criterion

The AUs criteria for the classification of planets literally falls flat given the grand scheme and complex structure of our galaxy and universe as a whole. Considering the relative ease in which their classification can be debated in just our solar system alone, I would put a huge asterisk beside their definition of a planet. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Information 😮

😮 I love our solar system me big fan

If you’re going to use Fahrenheit, please can you also include Celsius in the text box? Not all of us are trapped in the 18th century. Thanks.

Good

Jupiter has not cleared it's orbit of asteroids. So, should it be considered a dwarf planet too?

Is planetary pygmy Pluto the ideal place in deep space for skiing, snowboarding, ice hockey and ice skating?
