Do all astronomers think Pluto planet?
No. Most follow the new IAU definition of a planet which excludes Pluto.
Why pluto was once considered a planet but astronomers have now found out that it is not a planet?
The discovery of other similar objects to Pluto in more recent years has meant that astronomers either had to keep adding planets to the list, or we had to redefine what a planet actually was. In 2006, a new definition for a planet was established. It had to be approximately round, it had to orbit the sun and it had to have cleared its neighbourhood of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there were no other sizable bodies. Pluto is not large enough to have done the latter, while all other remaining planets have, so it was downgraded to a dwarf planet. There are now eight planets recognised and five Dawrf planets, of which Pluto is one.
How was Pluto destroyed?
Pluto did not disintegrate. It is still there. The only thing that has changed is a new formal definition of a planet, and Pluto did not make the cut.
Why is Pluto an odd planet?
