When Pluto was first discovered it was the only one of its kind and was deemed a planet although it was distinctly different from the other eight - its orbit was way eccentric and inclined, for example. Also it was thought to be bigger than it actually was until the Pluto's moon Charon was discovered; originally they were thought to be one larger body. They are now considered a binary, although there are three smaller moons as well. As telescopes improved it was learned Pluto is just one in a group of a huge number of Kuiper Belt objects, and not even the largest. Hence it got demoted. Although some object. I learned planets in order: Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus, Mercury when I was about 8 or 9. I still think Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus, Mercury to this day - it's correct still but one item is not like the others.
The sun has the same orbit around the earth as it did pre-Copernicus. We just know now that it does not.
I would think that SlyPokerDog is more like Goofy. He evolved at some point to stand up on his hind legs and speak (or type) English.
Pluto is considered a dwarf planet. It doesn't fit the current/revised definition of planet, which includes that it has to have cleared its orbit of smaller bodies. When I fly up to it in the starship Enterprise and put it on the main screen, it looks like a planet. Therefore, it really is a planet.
You can see the craters on the moon with your naked eye but cant make out shit but giant ass hurricanes from the space station which is supposedly slightly closer to the earth than the moon.
Fun fact: craters on the moon are really big. Like, the ones visible from the earth with a naked eye are 100+ miles across. Humans, and human structures? Much much smaller.
We know or we've been told? Why does the moon always show the same surface to the earth? Isnt it suppised to be spinning as well as orbiting?
The supposed largest crater is aitken at 1600 miles accross that means all those smaller ones are far from thousands of miles.
Why do planets spin while orbiting the sun then? In all these supposed billions of years the universe had been why hasnt mercury stopped spinning? Why isnt it tidal synchronized with the sun?
Dude. I came here to make a joke about @HCP and game threads. Now you make me go and research astronomy for you. Google's your friend (or Bing if you so desire, I do not care about the search religion). Cut the middle man.
You obviously havent seen the Creationism Museum or the gigantic Noah’s Ark (Ark Encounter), both located in Kentucky.....
You obviously havent seen the mountains of evidence to support a global flood located all over the world. Youll believe a fairy tail evolution theory despite any scientific evidence though.
Even if there was a global flood, all it means is there was a flood, not Noah's ark, let alone disprove 150 years of science. But by all means show us the scientific documentation for global flood
