A planet: a large body that orbits a star, is called a planet whether it orbits the star that we call the Sun, or whether it orbits the star Betelgeuse. (Too bad for any planets orbiting Betelgeuse . . . it is getting ready to explode in a huge supernova, soon. ("Soon" in astronomy means sometimes in the next hundred thousands of years.))
Scientist's are discovering new planet's all the time. They call these planets exoplanets. As of November 2009 there are 404 planets outside of our own solar system.
We call the galaxy we live in the Milky Way. We call the sun at the center of our solar system Sol. We call the planet we live on Sol or Terra.
because everything orbits around the sun
la tierra. (Earth, I call it.)
the planet you are looking for is Pluto it is about the same size as its moon and now scietist no longer call it a planet
There is no astronomical body known as "pulto" that has been identified as being part of our solar system. It is possible that you are referring to a fictional or unofficial term. If you can provide more context or clarify your question, I may be able to provide a more accurate response.
Yes and no. It was decided on August 24, 2006 that Pluto be classified a dwarf planet. Because dwarf planets are a subclassification of planet, it would be accurate to call Pluto a planet, in a general setting (bearing in mind, though, that there are 10+ other dwarf planets in our solar system, some larger than Pluto).
Pluto was classified as a dwarf planet last 2005. Pluto was too small to be considered as a planet anymore. Its orbit was also not like any of what we call our planets. There are three dwarf planets in our solar system.
there is no planet in the middle of the solar system only a big gas ball which we people call the sun
Our Solar System is called the Solar System, Why?, what do you Aliens call it.
"Our solar system." The "part of our galaxy" that's in our solar system is the solar system.
