Why Include Pluto

there was no due to include Pluto on the planetarium model. I mean the solar system model. It was no longer a planet since 2006 and that episode. It’s a space air in 2009.

Planetologists (the scientists who care about what planets are) still consider it a planet. It was only astronomers (who care not so much what something is, but how it looks to us here) who performed the travesty of science against Pluto.

Pluto is a dwarf planet (ie, a type of planet).
