Question

15 what is the name for things in our solar system that meet the first two criteria to be a planet, but not the last? a shephard plants b dwarf planets c shephard moons d dwarf moons

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze the options:

• Option A, "Shephard Plants", is incorrect as it involves a misnomer and plants are not relevant to solar system planetary criteria.
• Option B, "Dwarf Planets", fits the description. The criteria for a planet are: 1) orbit the Sun, 2) be spherical (hydrostatic equilibrium), 3) clear the neighborhood around its orbit. Dwarf planets meet the first two but not the third.
• Option C, "Shephard Moons", are moons that shepherd rings, not related to planetary criteria.
• Option D, "Dwarf Moons", are small moons and not related to planetary classification criteria.

Answer:

B. Dwarf Planets
