Motorized Planets with Light-up Sun

Since it was discovered in 1930, Pluto has been considered the
ninth planet of our solar system. In 2006, at a large gathering of
astronomers from around the world, it was agreed that objects
in our solar system should be divided into three main categories:
planets, dwarf planets, and small solar system bodies.

A planet orbits only the Sun and nothing else; it is massive
enough that its gravity makes it spherical; and its gravity is
strong enough to keep the path of its orbit clear of other
objects. There are officially eight planets in our solar system.

A dwarf planet also orbits the Sun and is spherical, but its
gravity is not strong enough to clear its orbital path of other
objects. There are officially at least three dwarf planets in our
solar system.

A small solar system body is not massive enough to have
gravity that can make it spherical, so its shape is irregular.
Asteroids, comets and moons are in this category. There are
many small solar system bodies.

Therefore, with these new definitions of objects in our solar
system, Pluto is no longer considered a planet. It is officially a
dwarf planet (along with two others, Ceres and Eris).
