What is the ninth largest planet?

Answer 1

Pluto was considered a planet but now has been disqualified as a planet. it is now called a dwarf planet. it is present in the kuiper belt beyond the orbit of Uranus and the chances of finding a ninth planet has almost been ruled out as the planets discovered beyond the orbit of pluto are dwarf planets and are smaller than the one before them.

Answer 2

In our Solar System, Pluto was the ninth largest planet although it is now classified as a dwarf planet.

Outside of the Solar System, it will never be known or at least constantly changing.

Answer 3

There are currently only eight major planets in the Solar System. Starting nearest to The Sun and working outwards these are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The object which was once counted as the ninth planet, furthest from The Sun, is called Pluto.

Pluto is now considered, to a majority of scientists, as a dwarf planet, which would still classify it as a planet, just not a "major" planet. (Editor's note: My reasoning behind saying that Pluto is still a planet is derived from the new title "dwarf planet." "Planet" is still in the title, thus, Pluto is still a planet. Unless the scientists wish to classify Pluto as one of Neptune's moons, then it is no longer a planet.)

Answer 4

it used to be Pluto, but since 2006, there are only eight planets in the solar system; Pluto was demoted to "dwarf planet."
