    Makemake does have a moon. We just discovered it in 2016, and this video was made in 2014, so, you're off the hook

    This video was so incredibly educational that I was able to share it with the students we work with as a very concise explanation of what dwarf planets are, what dwarf planets there are in our solar system, and why it is so hard to categorise our neighbours.

    Just a note (that you probably should put it there) now that we have an accurate measure of Pluto, we do know Pluto is Bigger than the other Dwarf Planets. Also, we did classify Pluto as a planet and never had this weird conversation about Dwarf Planets until 10 years ago, because we really thought it was about the size of the earth and over the years we just got better at measuring it.

    • @emperorpalpatine2957
      @emperorpalpatine2957 8 років тому

      +Sean Hiseman anything that orbits a planet is a moon hence the name satellite, objects like the ISS would still be a moon but its artificial hence the name artificial satellite so in reality Earth could have millions or maybe trillions of moons.

    • @tequestaorangejuice6673
      @tequestaorangejuice6673 8 років тому +6

      that is true, but the definition of a moon is a 'large' object that orbits another object that isn't a star. By large, I mean larger than say a house... because if you say all things orbiting planets are moons, then Saturn's rings are made of BILLIONS of moons.

  • @dirus3142
    @dirus3142 6 років тому +1

    This video suggests it's possible that, statistically, there could be a Mars size planet out side the kuiper belt. Last year NASA, or another organization, announced a theory that there is quite possibly a planet sized object beyond the belt. This is due to changes in the belt that has to be caused by a gravitational effect.

    The relegation of Pluto to the status of dwarf planet is one of those things that has never stuck in my mind. It keeps tripping me up.
    The sun rises in the east. The earth orbits the sun. The moon orbits the earth. There are 9 planets in the solar system. Even though I remember that Pluto is nor a planet anymore I still think that we have 9 planets.

      Artifexian Yes, on August 24th 2006 the IAU resolution created three main conditions and pluto failed at it because the mass want enoug.
      As wikipedia says : " The IAU further resolved that Pluto be classified in the simultaneously created dwarf planet category, and that it act as the prototype for the plutoid category of trans-Neptunian objects, in which it would be separately, but concurrently, classified."[146]
      Wiki also says : "Discovered in 1930, Pluto was originally classified as the ninth planet from the Sun."

  • @colleenforrest7936
    @colleenforrest7936 4 роки тому

    Hidden in all this debate about Pluto is that the IAU changed the word "planet" from a noun to an address. The definition states that a planet travels around "the sun", not "a star", so homeostatically round objects orbiting other stars aren't planets anymore either.
    It would have been better, if they wanted to exclude Pluto, if they would have separated rocky worlds from icy worlds.

    No comment on the real problem with this dwarf planet nonsense? Earth, Jupiter and Neptune haven't cleared their respective orbits either, and would therefore be classed as Dwarf Planets.

    • @JaftenLKA
      @JaftenLKA 8 років тому

      +Jarrah White Ahem... you are extrapolating the meaning of "clearing the neighbourhood" to a logical extreme. _Which is incorrect._
      "Clearing the neighbourhood" means that the object is massive enough that everything within an appreciable distance of its orbital zone is gravitationally dominated by that object, and there are no other bodies of comparable size other than its satellites or those otherwise under its gravitational influence.
      Earth, Jupiter, Neptune, and the other large planets fulfill this criterion. Earth gravitationally dominates Luna and other objects in its orbital path. Jupiter gravitationally dominates all of its moons and everything in its orbital path. Neptune gravitationally dominates all of its moons, Pluto and its moons, and everything else in its orbital path.

    • @johncarlini2978
      @johncarlini2978 8 років тому

      Orbital Physics baby. let me explain. The 2 most important points in an orbit is it's periex (closest approach to the center of mass) and the apex (farthest point from the center of mass). As an object orbits it speeds up as it approaches it's periex and slows as it reaches its apex. Sedna is speeding up, meaning it's approaching it's periex. The angle it's moving at shows it's near the periex. so we just have to do the math of how a object moving at this point, angle, speed, mass, and acceleration, and distance would make it orbit around the mass.

    sedna has streched that long cause of a masive thing pull him out
    1. the eliptical orbit of sedna is caused of jupiter and satern pushed the orbits
    2.A MASSIVE object like 5-10x bigger than jupiter is out there on the solar system further than the kuipter belt that pulls sedna OUT through the kuipter belt
    3. it must be a star or a BIG PLANET

    Why albedo of Eris is 0.96, but reflectes only 87% of ligth?

    on the video you show Pluto as 2368 km and Eris 2326 km thus making Pluto bigger.

    If I were classifying objects in space here is how I would classify them(and in my fictional universe all these things are true):
    Stars: Bright objects that make their own light via nuclear fusion
    Asteroids: Tiny rocks that orbit independently of any planets but not independently of each other(kind of like how the ice particles in Saturn's rings orbit at a different speed than the planet itself but gravity both towards each other and towards the moons of Saturn makes every particle orbit at the same speed so the ring as a whole has an individual orbit, not every particle)
    Moons: Big or small rocks that orbit around a larger planet without affecting the planet's orbit much(so barycenter inside the planet) and that are not in a ring but in either a gap between rings or completely outside the ring system if the planet even has rings
    Planet: Any rock(whether it be completely rock(terrestrial) or a rocky core surrounded by gas) orbiting around a star that isn't an asteroid(comets are like icy asteroids) a moon or another star
    And thus the term Dwarf planet would be a subclassification of Planet, not a different classification.
    And here is how I would define dwarf planet:
    Any planet that is smaller than Mercury
    So those hypothetical dwarf planets that are 3x, 4x, or even 5x the size of Pluto would not be dwarf planets in my universe. Those would just be planets and thus have all the classifications of planets(a gas dwarf could be of a similar size as Mars)

    with the new horizons mission in 2015, it has been found that pluto is actually larger than eris. But it is more related to Kuiper Belt objects than the actual planets so... sry pluto

    What I don't get is why Mars, Venus, Earth, and Mercury all have more in common with dwarf planets than Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and yet are still grouped together with the latter rather than the former.

    • @nandernugget
      @nandernugget 8 років тому

      Because they have normal orbits. they're also not apart of belts of asteroids.

    • @benthomason3307

      Dark Pop That really sounds like an excuse they came up with so that we wouldn't have to reclassify Earth as a dwarf planet.

      +Ben Thomason It isn't, though. Why aren't we classified as chimpanzees? They use tools like us, they can do basic human actions. They can stand up right? So why aren't we classified as Chimps? It's because there is differences and way more things we can do beyond Chimps.
      So for Planets, the same. Dwarf Planets are round most of the time like Planets, the orbit the sun, etc. yet there are things to Planets that Dwarf Planets can't fit into. Pluto has an odd orbit, it's more related to comets. Pluto is also in a lock with its Moon, meaning that Pluto itself is a moon to the other.

    pluto is called after the roman name for hades... all planets are called after the roman gods Mercury comes from Mercurus (messenger of the gods), jupiter (the "king"god and ruler of the sky and heaven), pluto (the god of the afterlife and underworld), Mars (the god of war) and juno(ik a moon) (was the wife of jupiter)

    Pretty decent video, despite some scientific inaccuracies. The IAU definition is very flawed because we are likely to find larger objects the size of Mars way out there, and calling THAT a dwarf planet is not a line I think many would cross.
    The fact is that there are way more “Plutos” than “Earths” and “Jupiters” combined. There may be many more in the deep depths of the Oort Cloud and the number of planets is only going to increase. 🪐
