Do I Need to Go Back to School or How Many Planets in the Solar System?
Jeez. Just when I thought I knew SOMETHING I'd be able to teach the grandkids! I've got to re-look this and see if I understand.
Because Pluto is of a certain size and has an orbit which we now know intersects that of the next furthest planet it doesn't meet the criteria for designation as a planet. The international scientific body who sets these standards has given Pluto an honorable mention and will now refer to it as a dwarf planet. So, how many planets does our solar system have?
Would you believe that this and Jon Benet Ramsey's confessed (likely falsely confessed) killer have taken our collective eyes off Iran and North Korea's attempt to blackmail the rest of the world?
