Is Pluto the biggest or smallest planet in terms of mass?
As of 2006 Pluto is no longer considered a planet. Prior to that it was counted as the least massive planet in the solar system.
Is Pluto the farthest away from Mars?
Pluto has been declassified as a major planet, so it seems you are asking whether Pluto is the furthest dwarf planet from Mars. The answer is no since the finding of Eris that is 25% more massive than Pluto.
Why was Pluto disqualified as a planet?
Pluto is no longer a planet (though it is now a dwarf planet) because :It wasn't big enough to be considered a planet (less massive than Eris)Pluto's orbit was inclined too much from the ecliptic and has a large eccentricityPluto is a member of the Kuiper belt
Is Pluto has gone to black hole it is true or false?
False. Nothing actually happened to Pluto itself. All that has happened is that, after discovering several new Pluto-like objects, scentists came up with a new definition for a planet that excluded Pluto.
Since Pluto is not a planet what is the smallest planet?
Mercury is the smallest of the 8 "major planets" with about 5.5% of the mass of Earth. It is smaller but more massive than the largest moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Pluto is now considered a "dwarf planet" along with the asteroid Ceres and three other very distant Kuiper Belt objects.
What planet is more massive Pluto or mercury?
Mercury, which is over twenty times the mass of (minor planet) Pluto.
When was Pluto ruled out as planet from the list of planet in the solar system?
In 2006 Pluto was degraded to the status of dwarf planet(there is another dwarf planet, Eris, that is more massive than Pluto).
Which planet has the least mass?
Mercury is the least massive of all the planets. The least massive planet is Mercury (0.055 Earths). However, the planet with the weakest gravity is Mars. I am of course not treating Pluto as a Planet (as it is no longer categorized as a planet), if I were to count Pluto then it would be the least massive ( 0.0021 Earths).

What type of planet is Eris?
Eris is a massive dwarf planet. It was discovered in 2005 and it is more massive than Pluto by 27 percent.

What is definition for Pluto?
Pluto is the largest object in the Kuiper belt, and the tenth-most-massive body observed directly orbiting the Sun. It is the second-most-massive known dwarf planet, after Eris.
Is Pluto has gone to black hole it is true or false?
False. Nothing actually happened to Pluto itself. All that has happened is that, after discovering several new Pluto-like objects, scentists came up with a new definition for a planet that excluded Pluto.
Which planet weighs 236 lbs?
None. Pluto was the samllest planet before it was declassified for being too small. Pluto had a mass of 1.3*1022 kilograms - more than 1020 times (100 quintillion) as massive as your planet.
Why did Pluto reject from your solersystem?
It was not 'rejected'. By international agreement it was considered to be not massive enough to be a true planet and so is now called a dwarf planet.
How is Pluto different from the gas planets?
Pluto is not a planet anymore, it has been reclassified as a dwarf planet since 2006. It is very different from the four gas giants, much smaller and less massive. It has a solid.
