I think Pluto is not a planet

because its orbit is

different then the other

planets. I also think it

should not be a planetbecause it is smaller then

all of the other planets. I

think it is kind of weird

because it switches sides

with Neptune. Those are

some reasons why Pluto

is not a planet in my

opinion.

Day and night is caused by the earths rotation. When one half of the earth is facing the sun that

side is day and the other side is night.
