Wait, Pluto is this small? Yeah no, that's not a planet then.
The way nasa puts it in layman is if Earth was a nickel, Pluto would be about the size of a popcorn kernel. So not quite as small as this picture makes it seem, but still tiny compared to the other planets.
I like Pluto though, let the little guy play planet.
Just compared the diameters of the planets and set up my own scale image. It's around there.
Our Moon is something like 40% larger and six times heavier than Pluto. Still, I'm on Team Pluto, I don't like the demotion.
