1. Haumea and it's satellites, Hi'aka and Namaka
2. d
3. did not clear it's orbit
1.
2.
3. Correct but I would probably add put that several similar size objects in the Kuiper belt, such as Eris which is 27% more massive than Pluto were discovered. This led the IAU to define the term "planet" formally in 2006. The new definition excluded Pluto and reclassified it as a dwarf planet.
Your turn

1. Identify the above object
2. Name the satellite(s)
3. How long is a rotational period and does this contribute anything special to the body?

3. How long is a rotational period and does this contribute anything special to the body?
1. Haumea, Namaka, and Hi’iaka
2. Namaka and Hi’iaka
3. The rotation period is about 4 hours and this fast rotation contribute Haumea to be elongated.

1. The presence of what gas in Pluto's atmosphere creates a temperature inversion?
2. What is the largest member of the Kuiper belt?
3. Why won’t Pluto collide with Neptune? (With the current orbit)

1. Methane
2. Pluto
3. Pluto and Neptune have an orbital resonance of 2:3, so if one were to come near the other, they would be slowed down, and cannot collide.

1. What is Pluto's blue haze?
2. What is a plausible formation of Sputnik Planitia? How does this relate to the tidal axis?
3. What is the gap in Saturn's rings created by Mimas called?

1. Pluto’s atmosphere
2. Idk so I am just going to guess somewhat randomly. It may originated as an impact basin and this could’ve pull in all the other stuff and fill toward it and then somehow change its tidal axis.
3. Cassini Division
