Question 3
1 / 1 point
This is the term for the process by which gravity separates materials by density, with high-
density materials sinking and low-density materials rising.
Since, Pluto is a dwarf planet it is not considered a planet. As a result, the definition of a dwarf
planet is a celestial body that: is in orbit around the sun has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a
hydrostatic equilibrium shape has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is not a satellite. Pluto actually shares a gravtitional center with another object not just the sun.
A planet is a celestial body that: orbits the sun; has sufficient mass for self -gravity to
overcome rigid body forces so that is assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium, nearly round, shape;
has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.
