The Problem with Pluto

Know	Pluto was once a planet, but is now classified as a dwarf planet. Pluto was the farthest planet from the Sun, but is now the farthest dwarf planet from the Sun. Pluto was declassified as a planet in 2006. Pluto is one of four dwarf planets in our Solar System. Pluto didn’t complete a single orbit before losing its planet status.
Want	How many moons does Pluto have? Who discovered Pluto? What size does an object need to be to be classified as a planet? How many days (or years) is Pluto’s orbit? How hot/cold is Pluto?
Learned	Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an American astronomer named Clyde Tombaugh. An eleven-year-old girl named Venetia Burney named the ninth planet after the Roman God of the cold and dark underworld, Pluto. It takes Pluto 248 Earth years to complete a single orbit. Pluto has three moons. Pluto cannot clear other objects out of its orbit. Many people protested and held “funerals” after Pluto’s declassification.
