Bill Nye the Science Guy on Pluto Video
Bill Nye talks about why Pluto should't be called a planet.
Bill is vastly ...
Bill is vastly smarter than you! Pluto no longer qualifies as a planet and rightfully so it was voted on by people who are highly qualified and educated in this field remember people once thought the earth was flat no its common knowledge that it's not? !
im so? confused o.O
im so? confused o.O
Hey!! Im? doing i ...
Hey!! Im? doing i project on pluto it looks awesome....i did pretty good ;)
If pluto is too ...
If pluto is too small and not a planet for being ice, then jupiter is too big and a ball of? gas. ;O I mean really, think about it.
Oh come on! I am ...
Oh come on! I am super disappointed? in bill nye! Pluto is still a planet no matter the details of its existence. Just because a midget might be short doesn't mean he isn't a human. Pluto is revolving the sun on its own orbit and most definitely isn't a comet. I will always think of Pluto as the 9th planet.
@VictoryFire88 lol ...
@VictoryFire88 lol your comment about Sailor Pluto just made my afternoon of studying? hard worthwhile. I watched Sailor Moon as a kid and Sailor Pluto is gone.
I? agree with Bill ...
I? agree with Bill but I still miss Pluto
hell yeah.? f**k " ...
hell yeah.? f**k "Pluto" ice dwarf b***h!

@theraineydaze
He was on? Pluto, which is why he agrees that it shouldn't be a planet.
The 4th moon was ...
The 4th moon was discovered in? 2011, and will probably be named in August 2012, if not sooner.
Mr. Nye needs to ...
Mr. Nye needs to make an official retraction of some of his more outrageous statements about Pluto. ? Pluto is not all ice. It is 75% rock. Earth would have a lot of ice, too, if it was that far away. Not sure the %. Pluto meets 2 of 3 current elements of the IAU definition of a planet, and is considered a dwarf planet, not a comet. And, it would still be a dwarf planet if it were as close to the Sun as Mercury. As President of the Planetary Society, you have a responsibility to the truth.
@sploderdotcom The ...
@sploderdotcom The fourth moon, P4, is? a tiny one discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in the summer of 2011.
Pluto should be ...
Pluto should be called a planet. Nye doesn't say that any planet brought close enough to the Sun would develop a tail due to outgassing. Mercury currently has a tail. However, neither Mercury nor Pluto would disintegrate at Mercury's orbit because both are rocky. Pluto is estimated at 75% rock, so? calling it an icy body is not exactly correct. Also, Pluto is about 1400 miles in diameter, more than large enough to be rounded by its own gravity, a characteristic of planets, not of asteroids.
Sailor Pluto? must ...
Sailor Pluto? must have cried when she heard the news.
This made bill nye ...
This made bill nye seem more..boring? Also: If pluto was considered a planet all this time when our moon CLEARLY is more planetly, then why isn't our moon its own planet??
@SuperMagnetizer? 4 ...
@SuperMagnetizer? 4 moons? whats the fourth?
@Deathnotefan97 ...
@Deathnotefan97 Also, Earth is the celestial body upon which the definition of the planet? was originally built.
@Deathnotefan97 ...
@Deathnotefan97 Depends on your? definition of "almost perfect sphere"
@JCperfection I'm ...
@JCperfection I'm not sure whether to like this because of the point or dislike this for the profanity. Is it possible yo? do both?
Don't feel bad ...
Don't feel bad Pluto, I'm not a planet? either
@Deathnotefan97
...
@Deathnotefan97
Then they should call them "astronomical bodies". It really doesn't make? a difference and Earth still functions like a celestial body does, it's just semantically not called one, which means they just worded it poorly.
Also, everything ...
Also, everything evaporates. Everything. Just get it hot enough and? whoosh.
Don't feel bad, ...
Don't feel bad, Pluto. You'll always be a planet in my heart.?
@FantasticBob7000 ...
@FantasticBob7000 Scientists change their views of the Universe based on the evidence in front of them, they don't cling to what they wish to be? true. There's nothing wrong with changing your view based on new scientific discoveries. It is humbling.
CARL SAGAN - " ...
CARL SAGAN - "Almost no one attempts to educate themselves on the basics of science and technology, yet our society is based on these. TV takes up far too? much of our time and is apparently much more attractive to most of? us than the beauty and wonder of science. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces." - CARL SAGAN
According to ...
According to theInternation Astronomical Union's (the guys that said Pluto isn't a planet) definition of a planet is as follows:
A celestial body that:
1. Orbits the sun
2.Has enough mass to sustain hydrostatric equilibrium (almost a perfect sphere)
3. Has a strong enough gravitational feild to clear away debris from it's orbital path (gravitationaly dominant)
The Earth is not a celestial body, therefore the Earth is not a planet...
I think we need to get a? better I.A.U
Fantastic, bowties, ...
Fantastic, bowties, space, most? likely underneath his coat are suspenders...Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? Bill Nye can be the American version of the Doctor. But Doctor Who?
PLUTO WILL ALWAYS ...
PLUTO WILL ALWAYS BE? A PLANET IN MY HEART!!!!!!!
We of the Jovian ...
We of the Jovian counsel hereby? decree that Earth is no longer a planet! It orbits too close to the Sun and has only one moon! Pluto, with its 4 moons, retains planet-hood. Someone must defend true planets from stupid Earthlings!
@ ...
@OminousLatinUsername The consensus of the day was to stop calling them planets. I suppose you're referring to Nye's talk about "ice dwarfs," I guess you can think that's original. The point is he's parroting the ridiculous unscientific view that they're too small to be called planets. He sure as hell didn't precede the? IAU's ruling.
