  • Not really, no… it’s a comet or at best a rogue kuiper belt object. It’s smaller than earth’s moon, its orbit is wildly elliptical, and it hasnt cleared out its orbital path. Many reasons not to consider it a planet, and so it was dropped.

    If Pluto was to be called a planet, then Ceres would also need to be called one, and everyone seems happy with calling that an asteroid.

    Right, so…once again, your argument is that you feel that Fahrenheit makes more sense, because that’s what you’re used to

    I never said that C is better because people can get used to it, you’re just making that up. I said that the system people are used to is inherently going to be the one that makes the most intuitive sense to them, and that applies to both C and F.

    The rest of what you said applies equally to any system of measurement.

    I don’t understand why you’re so angry about this?
