There are three things needed to be classified as a planet.
Pluto meets 2 of the 3.
The one it does not meet is it doesn’t “clear the neighborhood” which means a planet needs to be gravitationally dominant over all objects around it. Meaning smaller bodies ( asteroids) would either combine with the larger body making it bigger or pushing them away ( out of their orbit) so they do not collide with the larger body.
Answer:
D. the distance and direction to the water fountain
Explanation:
To describe the position of a water fountain relative to where one is standing, the distance and direction to the water fountain must be known.
This quantity is known as the displacement.
- Displacement is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.
- To specify the magnitude of a displacement, we use the length of path and in this case the height or sometimes the distance.
- The direction attribute distinguishes distance from displacement
- The perfect quantity to solve this problem is the displacement and it specifies the distance of the path and the direction traveled.
