My Very Easy Map Just Shows Us Nine Planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Millions ofÂ? childrenÂ? throughout the years have probably taken great care to remember the saying that not only helps remember the names of the planets, but also the order in which they appearÂ? moving away from the sun. Of course this is only half the story, because as we all know the shape of Pluto’s orbit caused it to switch positions with Neptune for several years in a row. Of COURSE we all knew that, right?

So, for the rest of the world, there’s probably little significance to the fact that Pluto is no longer considered a planet, or at least not a classical planet, but has rather been categorized as a dwarf planet. Potentially, the asteroid Ceres and the recently discovered 2003 UB313 will also be grouped with Pluto in this new category. Charon, Pluto’s largest moon and the other body that was considered for this classification will not be grouped into the dwarf planet category.

Probably not that significant in the world of the Internet, but what if there was a vote on Web 2.0 companies? We could all meet at another Techcrunch event and argue whether or notÂ? MySpace should be considered a classical Web 2.0 company.
