The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Before 2006, the IAU officially used the term minor planet, but that year's meeting reclassified minor planets and comets into small Solar System bodies and dwarf planets, including into the respective categories comets and Pluto, which were generally not considered minor planets.
- In contrast to the eight official planets of the Solar System, all minor planets fail to clear their orbital neighborhood.
- Minor planets include asteroids, as well as distant minor planets, most of which reside in the Kuiper belt and the scattered disc.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Minor planet article was read about 78,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 76: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
