I think you mean Pluto, and the answer is no, Pluto is not a planet. It used to be but it was discounted as there are other similar-sized objects in space which have not been classified as planets because they are too small. Therefore, Pluto was degraded to a dwarf planet.

No, they have decided that Pluto is not a planet, but before they thought it was. Now there are 8 planets in our solar system instead of 9.
