Pluto was thought to be a planet until 2006, when it was named as a dwarf planet. The planet is thought to be very icy and at least 5 times smaller than Earth.
What is a good simile about the dwarf planet Pluto?
Pluto is as cold as an icy stare from an ex-wife.
What is the difference between a planet and a plutoid?
A plutoid or ice dwarf is an icy object similar to Pluto, smaller than most true planets. Plutoids are not considered true planets because they have been unable to clear smaller debris from their orbital paths.
Why planet Pluto was not anymore a member of the solar system?
The IAU decides what is a planet and what is not. Pluto is an icy body which has not cleared a substantial fraction of material from its orbit, and it is smaller than other bodies residing in the Kuiper Belt. It is also more of a coplanet with Charon, its largest moon. For these reasons Pluto is considered a dwarf planet.

Is Pluto a gaseous dwarf planet?
No. Pluto is a rocky/icy dwarf planet. In fact, no dwarf planets are gaseous.
Where are most dwarf planet found?
So far most dwarf planets are found in a ring of icy debris beyond the orbit of Neptune known as the "Kuiper Belt." Only one dwarf planet is recognized in the belt of dry material between Mars and Jupiter known as the asteroids. That dwarf is called Ceres.
Which outer planet is small rocky and icy?

What is the surface like on Ceres?
Scientists believe that Ceres has a rocky core and an icy mantle
Is Pluto a Jovian planet or terrestrial planet?
Technically neither. Those classifications are for planets. Pluto is officially a dwarf planet and is referred to as a TNO (Trans Neptunium Object) or a KBO (Kuiper Belt Object). All dwarf planets are solid and rocky/icy.
