Quiz Question: Scientists declared in 2006 that Pluto is not a planet but…
The given options are:
- A dwarf planet
- A rogue planet
- An exoplanet
Correct Answer: A dwarf planet
Info: Scientists narrowed the definition of ‘planet’ to exclude Eris and other dwarf planets discovered in the mid-2000s. Under the new rules, similarly small Pluto was stripped of the title as well. We know Pluto’s surface averages negative 387° F, but come on science, that’s just cold.
