- dilyevsky 6y agoAll planets are aligned within a few degrees actually. Pluto’s orbit is angled quite a bit if i recall correctly (which maybe was one of the reason to kick it out?)
- TeMPOraL 6y agoThe main reason is that Pluto is an outlier by size, and then we've discovered many more similarly-sized objects...
- MayeulC 6y agoAlso, pluto hasn't cleared its orbit (yet) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_the_neighbourhood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_the_neighbourhood
