Pluto Demoted Day is celebrated in the United States on August 24 every year.
Pluto Demoted Day is celebrated by all astronomers, space lovers, and the scientific community.
Pluto Demoted Day started in 2006 as it was the year when Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet.
When Pluto was taken off as a solar system planet, astronomers thought it would be harsh for Pluto's status, so they started this Pluto Demoted Day.
Pluto's name came from the Roman god. It was the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto's icy world is icy cold and is just outside the orbit of Neptune. They found out that Pluto is very far, and also it has five moons, four smaller moons, and one bigger moon called Charon that spins faster than others. Hydra is one of Pluto's moons that can spin 89 times, whereas other moons wobble like a spinning top. This dwarf planet has a thin atmosphere containing methane, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide, making it impossible for humanity to thrive. A massive iceberg that occupies over three-quarters of the planet has a heart- shape on it.
There are no particular traditions that are followed on this day. On Pluto Demoted day, many people take their kids to the space museum, talk about astronomers, learn about dwarf planets. Some also do stargazing on Pluto Demoted Day.
There are different ways to celebrate Pluto Demoted Day, like celebrating Pluto's previous status that was there for 76 years. Taking children to the planetariums, NASA and teaching them about the solar system. Learn more about the solar system like the sun, comets, planets.
Planet Pluto was demoted in the year 2006.
Pluto Demoted Day was started in the year 2006. This day is observed every year on August 24th. This day gives us an opportunity to study the journey of Pluto from being a planet to becoming a dwarf planet.
This day helps us get familiar with other planets, and it also helps us know more about the history and reasons behind the demotion of planet Pluto.
