Pluto was re-classified as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). A new definition for a planet was established, Pluto did not fit the new criteria, so was deemed a dwarf planet. Like Earth and the other planets, it is known to be spherical in shape and is in direct orbit the, but unlike the Earth and other planets, it does not `dominate` its orbit. That is to say that there are a high number of other bodies at the same orbital distance.
What else can I help you with?
How long will it be until the earth is uninhabitable?
You do not say what will harm the earth. The earth is a dynamic planet, if it did not have the processes which cause earthquakes and volcanoes it would be a dead planet. While earth stays dynamic, constantly active, it is the perfect place for us.
Is Earth big or small?
Size is a relative concept. The Earth is very big in comparison to me. The Earth is very small in comparison to the Milky Way galaxy.
A planet closet in size to the earth?
Mars has a minimum of 33.9 million miles away from Earth (consider the orbital path!) and a maximum of 250 million miles away. On average, it is about 140 million miles away. However, the closest planet is Venus. With the closest to Earth being only 23.6 million miles away, and the farthest being 162.2 million miles away!
What is the brother planet to earth?
Well, darling, the brother planet to Earth is technically Venus. They're both rocky planets and are similar in size, but Venus is just a little hotter and has a bit of an attitude problem with its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide. So, if Earth and Venus were siblings, Earth would be the responsible one while Venus would be the rebellious troublemaker.
Why does the Earth have an atmosphere while other planets do not?
AnswerThe truth is, the other planets DO have atmospheres.Planets other than Earth have gases surrounding the planet just like we do here. However, the types and/or quantities of gases in the atmospheres of other planets are simply not capable of supporting life like Earth is for one reason or another.Venus, for example, has an atmosphere extremely rich in greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide. Because of this, Venus is a VERY hot planet from all the solar radiation that is constantly beaming onto the planet with no way to escape.Venus is not hot though find out more on wikipedia
Which is colder Earth or Pluto?
The temperature range on Earth is from about minus 90°C to 58°C (-130°F to 136°F)The temperature on Pluto is from about minus 240°Cto - 218°C (-400°F to - 360°F). Pluto is so cold that the gases of its atmosphere freeze onto the surface when it is farthest from the Sun.

What makes pluto dwarf planet?
Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it does not meet all the requirements to be classified as a full-fledged planet. According to the International Astronomical Union's definition, a planet must orbit the sun, be spherical in shape, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. While Pluto orbits the sun and is spherical, it has not cleared its orbit as it shares its path with other objects in the Kuiper Belt. Therefore, Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet.
What do Pluto and Jupiter have in common?
Pluto and Jupiter are both planets in our solar system. Jupiter is the largest planet, while Pluto was considered the ninth planet until it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Both planets have moons orbiting them, with Jupiter having the largest number of moons in the solar system.
