Why do you think astronomers even classify dwarf planets? Why not just catalog planets and leave it at that?

This is my opinion- please note this is NOT a fact:

Scientists label planets and dwarf planets to further distinguish what actually classifies a planet. If scientists didn’t have a classification system, the argument could be made that solid matter in space could be named a “planet” (asteroids, moons, etc.). Having certain classification thresholds means that planets that could support life are identified.

Again- this is NOT fact, my simple opinion. I could be very wrong.

Fynjy0 [20]

When you expect something, but get something else, you have a reason big enough to ask new questions and start a new investigation.


Example:


If you create a tree by artificially breeding different species, and then plant it with certain expectations in width, size, bark width, leaf shape, etc. and things go differently, a new investigation might begin with a whole new load of questions.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents?
WITCHER [35]

Answer: They create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

The temperature and salinity has a major impact on water current of oceanic water. The warm water is usually less denser than colder water, so it remains at the surface of water body, whereas the colder water being more in density remain in a depth. The salinity of cold water is more than the warm water.

According to the above explanation, they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them is the correct explanation.
