In old texts it was believed that the asteroid belt was the remains of a planet that got torn apart by either a massive impact or the gravitational attraction of Jupiter and the Sun.
Nowadays it is firmly agreed that the asteroid belt is a primitive remainder of the early accretion disc and a planet didn't form because of the gravitational attraction of Jupiter and the Sun.
As far as we know, Earth is the only planet in our solar system that can support human life. Scientists continue to search for planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets, that may have conditions suitable for life. However, Earth remains the only known planet where humans can live comfortably without the use of specialized equipment.
the smallest planet would be Pluto but since scientists say its not it would be MERCURY.
Scientists do not consider Pluto a major planet due to its size, orbit, and characteristics that differ from the other eight recognized planets in the solar system. Additionally, there are other dwarf planets, such as Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres, that are not classified as major planets.
As of now, there is no confirmed discovery of a new planet in our solar system. However, researchers continue to search for potential undiscovered planets beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt and beyond.
Pluto, which is now considered a dwarf planet, has never "blasted." It is located in the outer region of our solar system, beyond Neptune, and remains relatively stable in its orbit.
No scientists say that. Scientists know that Pluto is a dwarf planet, and not one of the 8 major planets of our solar system.

A fraction scale remains the same with any system of measurement.

No Pluto isn't a planet anymore. Scientists said its too small to be counted as a Planet.
Yes, it is. At 2006, the scientists decided that it was not a planet of solar system. Now, there are just eight planets in the solar system.
Mars is not the smallest planet because Pluto is. Though, scientists now say that Pluto is no longer a true planet. That makes Mercury the smallest planet in our Solar System.
Pluto was known as a planetuntil the year 2006 however scientists discoverednew objects and then classified it as a dwarf planet.
Mars is not the smallest planet because Pluto is. Though, scientists now say that Pluto is no longer a true planet. That makes Mercury the smallest planet in our Solar System.
The Earth's moon is approximately 1/6 the size of Earth, making it the largest moon relative to its planet size in the solar system. Some scientists refer to the Earth-Moon system as a binary planet system due to the similar size and gravitational influence between the two bodies.
As of now it has not been proven but there are signs that it could have existed somewhere other than our own planet earth.
