Read the passage on that follow Assignment No -2 (Geography) The Earth and the Solar system declassification of Pluto as a planet and then answer the questions 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 rules, a planet is "a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighbourhood 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 asteroids, comets and other natural satellites. 1.
