-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Solar System B Question Marathon
Alright, I guess I'll start this with an easy one.
What are the 8 planets in order from the sun? What are the five dwarf planets in our solar system.

Protip: there are five dwarf planets in the solar system.

Re: Solar System B Question Marathon
I could find some sources to show that it's more likely to be defined as five. Everything is up for debate...but if we went by IAU definitions perhaps that could end it.

Re: Solar System B Question Marathon
The only debate I see is if there are five or more than five. The IAU currently recognizes five (Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake), and there are many more objects that could gain dwarf planet status that have not done so yet or have not been discovered.

Re: Solar System B Question Marathon
Since nobody has told me if I was right... I am going to assume that I got it right, so here it is...
What is the planet in our solar system that is the most similar to Earth?

That depends on what you mean by similar, but I'm saying Venus.ckssv07 wrote:Since nobody has told me if I was right... I am going to assume that I got it right, so here it is...
