Our moon won't be classified as a planet because it orbits US, not a star; the center of gravity between Earth and moon is actually within the Earth. However, the center of gravity between Pluto and Charon is actually not within either body, therefore they both orbit the sun. Or something like that.

I'm really disappointed that they're going to rename Xena. Especially since they named its moon Gabrielle. Now *that* will have to be changed too.

the two orbit each other, technically, and the center of orbit orbits the sun.

and our moons orbits are affected by the sun.

Actually, they don't orbit eachother....that's impossible for two adjacent objects to orbit eachother....

They orbit the space between them, while also orbitting the sun. Basically, they orbit the sun while in a flat spin with eachother, if that makes sense.

well, now I don't claim to know that much about physics, I DID get a D.

But would the two bodies cause a bend in space that isn't two smaller ones but one bigger one and they both just ride the outside of it, being pushed out by inertis and in by the other planet's gravity?

So they would orbit each other.

From a physics point of view, the mass from a large body, such as a planet, causes a gravitational pull on all other surrounding object. This gravitational pull forces the body to form an elliptical orbit around the larger body. The orbittal path is based on the gravity of the larger object and the centripetal force (mass of the smaller body and orbittal velocity). These two bodies in particular are too far away to be affected by the gravity of any other objects except the sun.

Well could you also think of it as a set of metal balls on a string, hooked to a rod that both spin around? The force keeping the balls in, here being the string, would be the force on it by the other body?

say what? lol

That's sort of a bad analogy because there is no rod. However, that is the motion that I was talking about. Imagine taking your rod and walking in a circle around the room. Now the balls would be taking a path similar to the orbit of pluto.

Well, I guess you are right that they are orbiting the space between them, but they are influenced by each other and they do rotate around each other. however, because each moves, the center of orbit for each planet moves, or to our vision it stays between them.

So they are orbiting each other around a point outside of both.

I think we're both trying to say a different explanation for the same thing.
