Pluto, the dwarf planet, is the smallest planet in our solar system. In 2006 scientists confirmed that Pluto was a dwarf planet. They confirmed this because Pluto does not have a clear orbit around the sun. The things that a planet must have in order to be a planet is that it MUST have a clear orbit around a star. FUN FACT: Pluto's moon is almost as big as itself! Pluto is the coldest planet in our solar planet. Pluto is an outer planet.

Pluto has one moon: Charon.

The others are Nix and Hydra.
