No, it is rock formed deep under the planet's surface. it is named for the god of the underworld, Pluto. The same god the planet was named for. See link below. No. Plutonic rock is igneous rock that has cooled and become solid deep in the earth. The granite sections of The Rocky Mountains are examples of this.

When Pluto was a planet why was it not always the farthest planet from the sun?
Pluto's orbital is elliptical. Its farthest planet from sun when it lies on two elliptical end. On the other hand Neptune's orbital is circular and become larger then Pluto's orbit when Pluto come in the middle of two elliptical end. For this reason Pluto is not always farthest planet from sun.
Is planet x a meteor?
It is not fact, but Pluto cannot possibly be a planet; it is too small. Even if it does have Charon (moon), It is not big enough to be a planet (my opinion).Also, its orbit is elliptical, and comes closer to the Sun, intercepting and passing through Neptune's orbit. As many people know, all of the solar systems comets go far away from the sun, and then come plowing back and going very close to the surface of the sun, before setting off again as far as it can again.The only difference between other comets and Pluto is that Pluto doesn't develop a "tail"Pluto travels at different speeds on its course to orbit the Sun, thus proving my point that Pluto is in fact a comet, and not a planet.

Pluto is no longer considered a planet (however it is called a dwarf planet) because it failed to meet the International Astronomical Union's definition of a planet:must orbit the sun (check)nearly round in shape (also, check)has cleared its orbit area of other planets (here's where Pluto fails, as Saturn crosses Pluto's orbit every so many years)
Which two planets take turns being in the 8th and 9th positions in the solar system?
This question was applicable when Pluto was still considered one of the 9 planets. However, with the discovery of many other small bodies in orbits past Neptune, Pluto was relegated to dwarf planet status in 2006. Two of the four dwarf planets can come closer to the Sun than the outer orbital distance of Pluto, but only Pluto can come closer to the Sun than Neptune.
