Why isn't Pluto a terrestrial planet or Jovian planet?
Pluto is not considered a planet because it has not cleared other objects out of its orbit. It has a composition much like that of a comet, consisting of various ices, and so is not a terrestrial planet.
Why is Pluto one of the outer planets not considered a Jovian planet?
because pluto is a dwarf planet
Is Pluto considered terrestrial?
no, Pluto is officially NOT a planet anymore.
Is Mercury jovain?
Mercury is not a jovian planet because all planets after Jupiter and Jupiter are all jovian planets. So Jupiter, Saturn , Uranus , Neptune and the poor old Pluto that was booted from the planets are all jovian.
Why is Pluto more like a moon than a Jovian or terrestrial planet?
Pluto is more like a moon because now it is just another part of the kipper belt and since it doesn't clear out its path of orbit it is not a planet also it is considered the largest asteroid.

Apparently in the solar system, there's only one dwarf planet which is Pluto. The remaining 8 planets are not dwarf planets and can be divided into Terrestrial planets and jovian planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth and mars are all terrestrial planets while Jupiter, Saturn and uranus are known as Jovian planets. The term Jovian derives from Jupiter.

Is Pluto a jovian planet?
It seems there is no general consensus about the exact definition of "Jovian planets." Depending on the definition used, Neptune is, or is not, a "Jovian planet"; as explained on Wikipedia: "Giant planets are also sometimes called jovian planets, after Jupiter. They are also sometimes known as gas giants. However, many astronomers apply the latter term only to Jupiter and Saturn, classifying Uranus and Neptune, which have different compositions, as ice giants. ..."
What is the name of the planet that is neither a terrestrial planet or a gaseous giant?
Pluto, but it is not considered a planet any longer
What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?
Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.
