Think oil and water getting along happily. You can also think of mayonnaiseâvinegar water mixed with oil (usually soybean, but we recommend looking for alternatives) whipped into a creamy spread.

Why is Pluto no longer a planet? In August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of dwarf planet.. This means that from now on only the rocky worlds of the inner Solar System and the gas giants of the outer system will be designated as planets.
And so, Pluto is a dwarf planet. There are still many objects with similar size and mass to Pluto jostling around in its orbit. And until Pluto crashes into many of them and gains mass, it will remain a dwarf planet. Eris suffers from the same problem.
