Is Pluto a planet or a star?
There is some debate among astronomers whether Pluto is a planet (vs. an asteroid or some such), but it is definitely not a star.[EDIT] (from a completely different guy :P)Pluto is not considered a planet nor a star. A planet can be defined as:- An object orbiting around the sun(CHECK)- Needs enough gravitational force to pull itself into a spherical shape (CHECK)- Needs it's own orbit with no other object on it's orbit(BUMMER :P)As long as an object in the solar system does not meet the third point (but meets the other two points), it is considered a 'dwarf planet'...FYI (for your info):There are other objects (or dwarf planets) in Pluto's orbit (like: Eris, Sedna, Orcus...), so as long as Pluto does not crush into all of them and add up it's mass, it won't be considered a 'planet'. In other words, Pluto may be a planet sometimein the future.By: Animefanrarr

Is Pluto the only dwarf planet that orbits the Sun?
As far as we can actually PROVE, it is the only dwarf planet that orbits our own Sun. However, there has long been some speculation that there may be another dwarf planet out beyond Pluto, that is even smaller, but which is too far away from the Sun to be seen with optical instruments. It has also been debated that some large meteorites that orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planets, should maybe be declared as being dwarf planets in their own right.
