Because you weren't forced to go through typing teaching programs 3 or more times during elementary and middle school?

If pluto didnt have an oprbit that interseced Neptune, Pluto may have still been a planet. I wonder i wonder what would happen if they collided, would Pluto pass through Neptune, or would Neptune swallow Pluto?

i dont think their orbits actually intersect persay. if you look here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto#Orbit

you can see that that when pluto passes over neptunes orbit in the top view, its actually well above it in the side view.

It's a giant snowball. Pluto has a totally different orbit then the other planets in the solar system.

actually, according to the inaccurate wikipedia, they forget to mention the overlapping orbits, instead saying pluto is not a planet because it didn't clear the neighborhood.
Also, 1024 posts!!!! Thats like 1000!!!

Thats neat to think about...of course, a direct collision would cause havoc. There is a solid core to those gas giants, after all.

i thought they were just Giant balls of gas, no crunchy center.

Gas giants may have a rocky or metallic coreâ€”in fact, such a core is thought to be required for a gas giant to form

So they have a Crunchy Center, darn. Seems like the presure in the gas would crush the nouget

What do you think creates th egravity to keep the gas in a spherical shape?

The rotation speed of the planet should keep it compact. Centrifical force kind of thing
