How come Goofy can walk and talk and do all of these other things but pluto can't?

Haha. Sure it's fair. That's what makes cartoons so rediculous and lovable: they're bogus and imaginitive. Take MOST cartoons, the animals talk. Look at Arthur; He's an ardvark with a dog. And all the other animals (bunnys, gerbils, cats even) can talk but the dog. That's just was makes Disney some bonkers.

Probably because, as many astronomers think, Pluto isn't really a true planet, but a huge asteroid that once had a very erratic orbit that has gradually stabilized over time.

There is no fact based reason she should be concluding cheese is a vegetable but she isn't the only one.  Check out the link below for a petition to officially recognize cheese as a vegetable.  Seems kooky, then again if you were telling everyone 10 yrs ago that Pluto was not a planet you would have seemed kooky too.

Pluto's orbit is an elipse, therefore its distance from the earth is actually changing.  However, at its closest point along its orbit it is 2.67 billion miles from earth and at its farthest point it is well over 3 billion miles from earth. Hope this helps

read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto\n\ni don't know what you mean by "special", but pluto does orbit the sun, is ball-shaped, does not have an isolated orbit (a bunch of other similar bodies have similar orbits.), and is not a satellite so it is not a planet.\n\ni have been waiting for this since i was about ten.  i knew that pluto didn't fit the pattern set by the major bodies in the solar system so it was an anomaly.  it just felt "out of place".  now that astronomers have found hundreds of other bodies with similar orbits, classifying "134340 pluto" as a planet is even more irrational.  i feel somewhat satisfied, but i don't know how long this will drag on tho.  this was the right thing to do, believe me.  this does not change anything about pluto or the solar system.  this just corrects the mistake of classifying pluto as a planet initially.\n\nmany astronomers consider pluto and charon to be a binary system, but two small bodies orbit that system.  they are called nix and hydra.\n\nincidentally, "134340 pluto" was never a moon of neptune.  neptune did capture triton. this is why triton has a retrograde orbit.

Let's see: Pluto is probably saying numerous expletives, since we demoted it from planetdom. Uranus is too busy just passing gas to have anything to say. Neptune would be singing in the shower (that age of Aquarius song, I bet.) Jupiter would be talking at length about itself. Whatever Mercury was saying, good luck figuring it out, since it would talk too darn fast. Mars would be complaining about why all the other planets got cool-looking moons, while it got stuck with two deformed pieces of rubble. Venus is a chain-smoker, so would be too preoccupied puffing away to say anything. And Saturn would be cracking endless dry jokes about how it's the 'lord of the rings', much to the other planets' chagrin.

Oooo!!! I LOVVVEEE Goofy! He's just so... so... GOOFY!! Teehee :D

b/c it likes to take walks down different paths and it can't decide on one time frame, so it has many. \n\nobviously i don't know the logical answer, so i tried for a smile. did it work?

I cannot think of an example. Pluto, even if not considered a planet, is not a moon, but a Kuiper belt object. So the fact that Charon is a moon of Pluto is not sufficient. However, it's possible that we find such a rare phenomenon, since it's not against the physical laws.

Yes. Pluto has an eliptic orbit (not perfectly circular) which means that sometimes it will be closer to the sun than Uranus and therefore the 8th.

Having dated both "hot" guys and "goofy" guys I have learned many things about both. Many "hot" guys are so into themselves that they are miserable boyfriends and can't seem to stand to see their girlfriend without makeup. They are usually quiet shallow. "Goofy" guys however tend to be more open and honest about who they are, they are generally more caring about other's feelings and usually have a great sense of humor. Being the "hot" guy isn't so great when you don't have personality to back it up. If there is a "hot" guy out there with the personality of a "goofy" guy I haven't met him and doubt that I ever would.

It could happen someday, but it's more likely that Neptune, since it's so much bigger, would just cause Pluto to alter it's path. Gravity bounce, or something like that. Paths can cross without an intersection.

Goofy has evolved. Pluto hasn't. Yet.

Because Goofy is a main actor while Pluto is just in a supporting role... wahehe...

In their current orbits, Pluto and Neptune will never collide, since Pluto is in a 3-to-2 resonance with Neptune.  That means that for every two orbits of Pluto, Neptune executes three orbits; thus, they’re never close to one another in their trips around the Sun (instead, Neptune is always 90 degrees ahead of or behind Pluto when Pluto is closest to the Sun).  Even though the orbits of Neptune and Pluto seem to overlap, they will never actually collide.\n\nMany of the newly-discovered objects (hundreds of ’em now) out near Pluto have these kinds of resonances.  If they didn’t, they’d be more likely to collide with Neptune, and Neptune is probably responsible for shepherding them into these stable configurations.\n\n\nRyan Wyatt\nRose Center for Earth & Space\nNew York, New York

If you weighed 150 pounds on Earth, your weight on Pluto would be just 10 pounds.\n\nBecause Pluto has so little mass compared to Earth, it has far less gravity. Pluto, the least massive planet in our solar system has a mass equivalent to approximately 1/500th of the mass of the Earth. Consequently, the gravity on Pluto is 8% of the gravity on Earth.\n\nBy the way, since a "day" on Pluto is equal to 6.39 Earth days, you'd be less than 1/6th as old on Pluto as you are now on Earth, you skinny little 10 pounder, you.
