Why isn't Pluto a star?
A star is a celestial body of hot gases that radiates energy from thermonuclear reactions in its interior. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, a planet being a large celestial body that orbits a star and does not radiate any large amounts of nuclear energy. The star Pluto orbits in the Solar System is our Sun.
