Pluto was discovered in 1930 and originally called a planet. In 2006, Pluto was re-classified to be a dwarf planet due to the discovery of a number of similar rocky, icy bodies in the solar system. To avoid increasing the number of planets dramatically, Pluto and similar bodies were re-classified.

Neptune because pluto(dawrf planet) is the coldest planet and neptune is the second coldest planet.
Pluto has many features on it. One bieing highlands. Another being maria. And another being craters. those are some features on pluto, they are pretty much the same as our moons! :)
Pluto UB313 Eris
The discovery of other similar objects to Pluto in more recent years has meant that astronomers either had to keep adding planets to the list, or we had to redefine what a planet actually was. In 2006, a new definition for a planet was established. It had to be approximately round, it had to orbit the sun and it had to have cleared its neighbourhood of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there were no other sizable bodies. Pluto is not large enough to have done the latter, while all other remaining planets have, so it was downgraded to a dwarf planet. There are now eight planets recognised and five Dawrf planets, of which Pluto is one.

venus earth mars jupiter saturn uranus and neptune and pluto is not a planted but it is called the dawrf planet
Pluto, it is now a dwarf planet or planetoid.

Pluto is not a planet its a dwarf planet

neptuneNeptune is the closest to Pluto. Uranus is the second closest planet to Pluto. Saturn is the third closest planet to Pluto. Jupiter is the forth closest planet to Pluto. Mars is the fifth closest planet to Pluto. Earth is the sixth closest planet to Pluto. Venus is the seventh closest planet to Pluto. Mercury is the most furthest away from Pluto. The Sun and the moon are not considered as planets. The planet Pluto is also not considered as a planet.
Pluto is a rocky world. Pluto is now reclassified as a dwarf planet.
