∙ 14y agoPeople have thought of Pluto as our ninth planet for nearly 200 years since it was discovered in 1830.
Some still do so today but times are changing
The IAU International Astronomical Union in 2005 classified Pluto as a Dwarf Planet so in answer to you question Pluto has been thought of as our tiny distant planet cousin since then.
Only now are people accepting of the reality that it does not make the guidelines set to be a Planet but it does fall into the guidelines that make it clearly defined as a Dwarf Planet.
How ever personal people take this, Pluto remains one of the most fascinating body's in the Solar System and we need to learn more of it's complex existence.

What is the new planet in solar system?
No new planets have been discovered in our Solar System since 1930 when Pluto was discovered - now demoted to a dwarf planet. See related question for details and links of all the new exoplanets found.
What are the new planets in the solar system?
There are no newly discovered planets. Pluto used to be considered a planet, but is no longer. Sedna, Quoar, Eris, and Varuna are just a few of the newly discovered trans neptunian objects (bodies beyond Neptune). Eris is larger than Pluto. Far, far beyond our solar system more than 335 exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) have been discovered. These are not at all particularly close to our solar system.

Yes and no. It was decided on August 24, 2006 that Pluto be classified a dwarf planet. Because dwarf planets are a subclassification of planet, it would be accurate to call Pluto a planet, in a general setting (bearing in mind, though, that there are 10+ other dwarf planets in our solar system, some larger than Pluto).
