Name the Planets Quiz

Ummmm Pluto is a planet. It's a dwarf planet. You wouldn't tell a dwarf person he's not a person.....

Your analogy doesn't apply. Just because a name calls it a dwarf planet doesn't imply it is a planet. A better analogy is different species. Pluto did not meet the criteria for a planet. It had an unorthodox orbit than the rest of the planets (sometimes it went into Neptune's orbit), its moon, Charon, and Pluto were orbiting each other, and Pluto was more similar and comparative sized to Kuiper Belt objects.

finished in 11 second. Do it with only 30 seconds!! I would love to see that. Or, if you could, 15 seconds!!

If you deleted all Pluto-related comments on this quiz, the comments section would be a lot shorter :)

Saved by the Bell taught me the excellent mnemonic "Mvemjsnup." Unfortunately, after the removal of Pluto it no longer works.

1:19 left with all 8 correct!

How do only 99% know that Earth is a planet?

When it was 1:05 I won the quiz.... Very easy quiz. Make it more harder please

SO EASY! 1:17 remaining! Is there a name the planets sprint quiz?

I got perfect. Yay!

Nailed it in only 6 seconds.

in mythology it's more correctly spelt 'Ouranos' (thank goodness).

Might I point out that one of the strongest advocates of Pluto's demotion was the man who discovered Eris (Mike Brown) - and had he advocated the opposite side, he might have been the discoverer of a planet? It was strongly in his best interest to keep Pluto in the catalogue of planets, but it's much more obviously correct that it should not be a planet.

Pluto did not meet the criteria for a planet. It had an unorthodox orbit than the rest of the planets (sometimes it went into Neptune's orbit), its moon, Charon, and Pluto were orbiting each other, and Pluto was more similar and comparative sized to Kuiper Belt objects. Educate yourself before making foolish comments and hashtags.

That is not what happened. Who told you that farce? We saw Pluto for the first time in 2015. Why would they send a probe just to evaluate if Pluto is a planet? Pluto did not meet the criteria for a planet. It had an unorthodox orbit than the rest of the planets (sometimes it went into Neptune's orbit), its moon, Charon, and Pluto were orbiting each other, and Pluto was more similar and comparatively sized to Kuiper Belt objects. Educate yourself before making stupid comments. Also, check your grammar.

A moment of silence for people who forgot Earth

How could someone not get 100% on this...

You hear about Pluto? That's messed up

Why is it "messed up"? Pluto did not meet the criteria for a planet. It had an unorthodox orbit than the rest of the planets (sometimes it went into Neptune's orbit), its moon, Charon, and Pluto were orbiting each other, and Pluto was more similar and comparatively sized to Kuiper Belt objects.

You scored 8/8 = 100%. This beats or equals 100% of test takers The average score is 7 Your high score is 8 Your best time is 1:17 remaining

I'm sad for the 1% that didn't get Earth.

hiperson63 This is a quiz of planets not Mickey mouse clubhouse.

add pluto, it IS a planet

We say "My Very Exited Mother Just Sent Us Nachos!" I wasn't born until about 5 years after Pluto was declassified as a planet.

I love how the same number of people get Mars as get Earth

I'm going to tell the truth of Pluto. Pluto and NASA has a secret with the IAU in 2006 that Pluto is smaller than the moon. It doesn't clear its neighborhood. And it shrunk. And Eris is slightly bigger than Pluto. Before, there are 11 planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Eris. 3 of them called Ceres, Pluto, and Eris doesn't follow the 3 steps IAU said to be a planet. That is why they are dwarf planets now.

1:06. Told you I am a genius in astronomy. Listen to the news. LOL!

......what the hell

Good quiz. 😃
