Reply to If the fuel that goes in car engines is extracted from hydrocarbons, which consist of only Hydrogen and Carbon, and those hydrocarbons react with Oxygen in the air (combustion reaction), to produce CO2 and H2O, why do we get a bad smell from car exhaust fumes if both gases are odorless? by Protoflare
Because none of these fuels are perfect chemical compounds.
There's always a couple percent of impurities containing sulphur or nitrogen compounds or mineral salts containing metals.
Plus there's additives from the refining process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gasoline_additives

I have one as well, but with different images of that scene on each end, so it can turn around while hanging.

And every mosquito swarm acts as relay.
No more need for Skylink.

All of these categories are pretty arbitrary in the first place, but cramming everything into one category is just cumbersome and silly.

Yes, dwarf planets fullfill this requirement (hydrostatic equilibrium). What they lack is having cleared their orbit from other objects.
Asteroids lack both of these.
It's essentially dividing celestial bodies into three groups by their mass with physically measurable thresholds.

Pluto is now the King of Dwarves (together with Queen Eris). 🤷

It was recategorized into the new category 'dwarf planet' in 2006, after bigger objects (e.g. Eris, Sedna) further out in the Kuiper belt were discovered.
We would have hundreds of planets by now, and would be in the same predicament as in the 19th century with Ceres.
Ceres was initially called a planet, until the category 'asteroid' was created. Now Ceres is a dwarf planet as well.
