Well, I can’t wait Uranus. I'm really looking forward to it!
Yes me too, I'm so excited.
Are you?
Yes!
You need to smile more Uranus, you really do!
Never!
Hey guys! What are you talking about?
Hey Pluto! How's it going?
We were just talking about the planet parade that's coming soon.
Yes where all the planets have fun together.
Awesome! Brilliant, I'll do my planet breakdancing. When is it?
Um well...
What?
Well you're not a planet, Pluto! You're a dwarf planet.
I'm basically a planet.
Not a planet!
I used to be one.
Not a planet!
What he's trying to say is, you're not a planet.
Huh, well, I'm going to find out why I'm not a planet anymore. Just you wait and see!
He's not a plan...
He heard you...
Round like you!
Not a Planet!
Made of rock!

Not a Planet!
Have a heart!
No Pluto! You're just not a Planet.
I'll show them, I'm just like they are. Why can't they see?
I need to find out why and I know who to ask.
Hey Neptune, me old pal.
Hey Pluto!
Still windy I see?
Yes but being the windiest planet in The Solar System is cool.
Yes it is.
Talking of planets, if you are the windiest planet, what does that make me?
Well you're not a planet!
Not a planet!
I know, but do you know why?
I don't know all the reasons, but I do know that:
You have to be a celestial body that has sufficient mass for itself gravity to overcome...
...rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium shape.
Uh what?
You have to be round or nearly round.
Well I am round, just look at me.
Could I be any more round?
Well no I suppose...
Huh! I'm out of here. I've got to find out why.
Okay, see you a- round
Yeah, nobody heard me.
Round like you! m ade

Again!
Hey guys! I keep getting told that I’m not a planet?
But I want to be in the Planet Parade!
Well that’s just for pl...
Don't say it!
Aaaa-Ants. Plants.
It's for plants.
A parade for plants? Really?
Hmm, well I'm small like Mercury, but he's a planet and I'm not!
I'm bigger than you! By a lot!
Well!
I should be a planet, do you know why I'm not?
Well, all I know is that to be a planet you have to orbit a star like we do.
But I do, I do orbit our Sun, like you do.
Well, I...
Right I've got to find out. I'll go and see Earth, he'll know.
One more go?
Oh go on then.
Whoops my bad.

Hey Pluto, what's up?
Hey Earth. I'm okay, but they keep telling me that I'm...
Not a planet!
Yes thanks. And I want to come to the Planet Parade.
Well it is true Pluto. In 2006 you were reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Yes but why? I'm round, I orbit a star. What more do you want?
Well, you must also be big enough to clear your orbit of any other bodies.
Moons are okay but nothing else.
That means as you travel, your gravity clears the space around you of anything. You don't do that!
That's the only thing that stops me being a planet?
Yes! Anyway who said you couldn't come to The Planet Parade?
Well nobody, but I'm not a planet.
Not a planet!
You're too late!
But you are a dwarf planet.
Anyway we don't stop anyone from coming to The Planet Parade.
Everyone is welcome. It's never fair to leave anyone out because they might seem different.
We're all the same. And we love... to
Party!
Doo, doo, doo, not a planet! Do...
Really?
