Pluto is a dwarf planet. It could be an asteroid, or it could be a moon that escaped the orbit of Neptune. It could Not be a comet. Comets are chunks of frozen ice that travel in orbit around the sun, and as they near the sun, parts of the comet melt and leave a trail of melted water in their wake. Pluto never gets near the sun to melt. Pluto never gets nearer the sun than the orbit of Neptune.
