Prague: Pluto was stripped of its status as a planet on Thursday when scientists from around the world redefined it as a ‘dwarf planet’, leaving just eight classical planets in the solar system. Discovered in 1930 Pluto was considered the ninth planet in the solar system. After a tumultuous week of clashing over the essence of the cosmos, the international astronomical Union drew a clear distinction between Pluto and the other eight planets. Under the new ruler, a planet is ‘a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forced so that it assumes a nearly round shape ,and has cleared he neighborhood around its orbit.” Pluto is disqualified as its oblong orbit overlaps Neptune’s. It will be reclassified in a new category of ‘Dwarf planets,’ similar to what have long been termed ‘minor planets’. The definition also lays out a third class of lesser objects that orbit the sun –‘small solar system bodies’, a term that will apply to numerous asteroid , comets and other natural satellites. A. What is the new definition of a planet? B. What is the new status of Pluto? C. Which was the ninth planet in the solar system? When was it discovered? D. On which ground was Pluto was disqualified? E. Name the organization which reclassified Pluto
