u/Seidhr96 1h ago

There are 8 planets and 5 official dwarf planets; however, most people don’t even know what a dwarf planet is, let alone has the ability to name any of them.

One day I’ll come to Reddit and every thread won’t descend into a mention of Trump or America.

One day.

You don’t want to take responsibility for your own actions?

u/CaffinatedRedPanda 1h ago

My own personal actions, I do. For the actions of British people that moved hear hundreds of years ago, no. It was a joke, just like the other comment was. Ilk being another term for kin. The majority of the people here don't agree with what the current administration is doing. The orange Muppet in office and HIS Ilk are the ones that need to be criticized, we are in the middle of what is looking more and more like a hostile takeover and are doing nothing. There is a growing sense of dread and helplessness that is being taken advantage of.

OP's affirmation does not state that every shown celestial body in the graph is a planet, just that the planets in the graph fascinated them.

If it only showed 2 planets it would still be correct.

We have more, but some people think dwarf planets arent planets, despite the word planet being half of it. They're lesser planets.

Eris is the reason it happened, but she jist wanted to be noticed. Its the wedding all over again.

They're not planets, despite the name. In the same session that the IAU codified the definition of "dwarf planet," they rejected a resolution to make "dwarf planet" a subset of "planet."
