Neptune is confirmed as a planet because it is partly made of gas much like other planets.However Pluto is made of ice and rock has no atmoshpere and because of its short distance to the Kuiper belt and its size makes astronomers wonder if this is a planet. Plus it doesn't clear it's path of objects that are in it's way.

∙ 8y agoUranus is a planet because it orbits the sun, not Neptune and the two planets are quite far apart even at their closest approach. Uranus is nearly the same mass as Neptune, so even if they were close enough to form a planet-moon system, the result would be a binary planet.
