They were just dragging their feet once the definition of a planet was solidified. A planet is now considered a nonluminous object, larder than an asteroid or comet, that orbits a star. Whether they were waiting on a comparison of Pluto vs. asteroid measurements...I do not know.
What else can I help you with?
What is strange about Pluto's moon?
Pluto is a double planet system. Its moon Charon is so big compared in size that it doesn't orbit Pluto. Instead they spin around each other, so, if you are on the surface of Pluto, Charon will always remain in the sky! Note: Pluto has 3 moons other than Charon. They are called Nix, Hydra and P4 (which was identified by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2011).
What is the percipitation on Pluto?
No there is no precipitation on Pluto because the freezing cold temperatures any gases or water would be frozen but maybe long ago there was water on Pluto but it has been frozen as Pluto's surface so Pluto is surface layer is ice
How long would it take a rocket to travel from Pluto to the sun?
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.
Pluto how many time needed to rotate on its axis?
Pluto rotates much more slowly than Earth so a day on Pluto is much longer than a day on Earth. A day on Pluto is 6.4 Earth days or 153.3 hours long.
Describe the motions of Charon relative to the horizon?
Charon is tidally locked with Pluto, meaning one side always faces the planet. As Pluto rotates, Charon's position relative to the horizon would change. Charon itself does not have its own rotation, so its position in the sky would remain consistent from Pluto's surface.
Why does pluto take so long to orbit the earth?
No answer Pluto orbits the Sun Pluto does not orbit the Earth
How long is it on Pluto?
veary long Pluto is not a planet so u no ok that's all i can say
How likely is it that Pluto may have other undiscovered moons?
Quiet unlikely. The size of Pluto is quite small, so if it had another moon, it would be very visible and not likely to be missed, unless it was smaller than we could notice, in which case it would not be classified as a moon.
Why does it take Pluto so long to go around the sun?
Becaus it is so far away from the sun, it has a bigger orbit, so it takes Pluto a long time to travel around the sun

DoPluto dwell on the inner edge of the oort cloud?
The Oort cloud is a long way past Pluto, so Pluto is much nearer to us and the Sun.

Why does it take so long to find out if Pluto has life?
Because it takes many years to reach Pluto (with a probe), and then, many more years to transmit information back.
How long it takes to obrit the Pluto?
It takes pluto 248 years to orbit the sun but sometimes it depends on neptune because they swap places so if pluto was in neptune place it would then take 220 years or something like that.
How long is it from Neptune to Pluto?
The orbit of Pluto crosses that of Neptune and so it is possible for the distance between the two to be very small. At their furthers, the distance is close to 12 billion km.
