This is my dwarf planet report.
We had the choice to write a report about a planet or a dwarf planet except earth. I picked Pluto since Pluto is my favourite dwarf planet.
Did you know that Pluto was a dwarf planet? Did you know that there were five dwarf planets? What is your favourite dwarf planet?
At school we are doing a
Pluto task board; this is one of the tasks we had to do. We had to make a website on Canva about what we have been learning about Pluto. This is how it turned out. ⬇
This is what I wrote about it. ⬇
have you ever wondered why Pluto was a planet and now not? Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an astronomer. Since Pluto orbited the sun it was enough to call it a planet at the time.
In 2005 they discovered an even bigger object orbiting the called Eris. Then they discovered more. In 2006 world wide astronomers got together to create three criteria that a planet must have to be a plane. first they must orbit the sun, they must have enough mass to pull itself into a roundish shape and must clear other objects out of its orbit. Pluto passed the first two but didn’t pass the last one; Pluto has a messy orbit.
They call the objects that pass the first two criteria dwarf planets. Pluto is a dwarf planet with Eris, Makemake, Haumea and Ceres.
