Some people believe it is but others don't because the planet seems so small the wouldn't count it as a planet, and people are still arguing about it (i think) so for now it should be your opinion.

Now it's the first dwarf planet from the sun.

Which planet was recently downgraded to the status of a 'dwarf planet'?
The planet "Pluto" was recently reclassified as a dwarf planet because astronomers believed that it was too small to be classified as a "regulation" planet. The original images of Pluto made it look like a full size planet, but later observations revealed that it was about a tenth of the size that we first thought and that it had an orbit that can only be described as "wacky".
Why was Pluto considered the 8th planet?
Neptune and Pluto have different orbits. Neptune is sometimes further away than Pluto. If you read recent debates, the planet Pluto may have a different identification other than planet.Nowadays Pluto is classed as a minor planet and isn't included as one of the eight major planets. In the past, when Pluto was included it could have been classed as either the 8th or 9th planet because the orbits of Pluto and Neptune vary so that at some points Pluto is nearer to the Sun than Neptune and vice versa.

What place is Neptune from the sun?
Its the 8th planet in the solar system however, when Pluto (which was 9th planet) until it was demoted to dwarf planet, passes inside the orbit of Neptune; Neptune then becomes the outer most planet making it the 9th. I do not know if this still counts now because of Pluto's new status.
What is the tenth planet in the Solar System?
There are only 8 planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

There never was a 10th planet in the solar system.

the 8th planet from the sun is neptune but not always, Pluto has an inclined orbit so for part of the year Pluto is the 8th planet from the sun and neptune is the 9th, but some people don't think Pluto is a planet.

Tell you about Pluto?
Wait so I tell you some things about pluto? Okay. Well Pluto USE to be the 9th planet but now it is a dwarf planet. That means it is not a real planet really. It is at the end of the solar system which is farthest from the sun so it's EXTREMELY cold in Pluto. It is so cold that no life can possibly be on Pluto and astronauts need warm air filled suits to go on Pluto!
