Why do you think scientists found it difficult to decide how Pluto should be classified?
Scientists found it difficult to classify Pluto because it has characteristics of both a planet and a dwarf planet. Its small size and unique orbit make it challenging to fit neatly into definitions used for celestial bodies in our solar system. This led to debates and discussions about how best to classify Pluto.
Why did the planet Pluto make news headline a few years ago?
Pluto was officially removed from the classification of planet after a discussion and vote of planetary scientists. Turns out there are numerous planetoids at the far reaches of the solar system.
What is Pluto made of?
Pluto is the only planet in the solar system that has not been explored with a spacecraft. What is know about the dark, frozen world is the result of many years of work by scientists. It is thought that Pluto is made up of a mixture of rocks and several kinds of "ices". Scientists believe that most of the ices that make up Pluto are frozen methane and ammonia.

What made planet Pluto disappear?
Pluto did not disappear, but rather was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union. This decision was made based on new guidelines that defined a planet as having cleared its orbit of other debris, a criteria which Pluto did not meet.
How did scientists make and accept that Pluto was no longer a planet?
They realized that Pluto was in fact a member of another belt of objects orbiting the sun, similar to the asteroid belt. The same thing happened with four of the asteroids in the asteroid belt. Once scientists realized that they were just four of hundreds of thousands of objects sharing the same orbit, they no longer considered them planets. Pluto is a member of a similar belt of objects known as the Kuiper Belt.
What hit Pluto to make it not a planet?
The reason Pluto is not a planet is because it is very small, smaller than Earth's moon!
How is Pluto differ from the outer planets?
Pluto isn't a planet and it makes an oval orbit To shed some light on that answer, Pluto is not a planet for Scientists consider its size closer to the dwarf planets orbiting in the asteroid belt. It does NOT make an "oval" orbit and i believe the person is referring to the Ellipse orbits that EVERY planet takes. So technically, Pluto isnt considered a planet only because of its size (plus maybe some other factors) NOT its orbital behavior.
What problems must scientists overcome to make such a visit to Pluto?
The problem is that Pluto is to far, it takes a to long, and there is nothing there at Pluto.
What planet do we know least about?
We know the least about the planet Uranus compared to other planets in our solar system. It is the seventh planet from the Sun and has only been visited by a single spacecraft, Voyager 2, in 1986. Its thick atmosphere and unique rotation on its side make it a challenging planet to study.
What is the size of each Pluto?
There is only one dwarf planet called Pluto, so it doesn't make much sense talking about "each Pluto".
