In astrophysicist chronicles battle over Pluto what reason does Dr. Tyson give for plutos status as Americans favorite planet?

Sagot :

Tyson believes that Pluto is Americans' favorite planet because of the Disney character of the same name.

Why did he come to that conclusion?

  • Because Americans felt offended by the downgrading of the planet Pluto.
  • Because the Americans did not accept the downgrading of the planet.

Tyson is part of the group of scientists who advocate the downgrading of the status of the planet Pluto, where it would no longer be identified as a planet in the solar system and would be considered a dwarf planet.

Tyson stated that although there is scientific evidence to support these downgrades, the American public felt offended and disgusted with the possibility of Pluto not being considered in the solar system.

He says people were so disgusted by this that he decided to research the reasons why Americans like Pluto so much.

He didn't find anything relevant to justify this emotional attachment, other than the Disney character who is called Pluto and who is much loved in America.
