No. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet. In terms of composition Pluto is more like a comet than an asteroid.
An asteroid is going too hit earth this weekend.
No, the moon has never been hit by a space shuttle. Space shuttles were used for missions in low Earth orbit and never traveled far enough to reach the moon.
If an asteroid hit the sun, it would be vaporized instantly due to the extreme temperatures and gravitational forces of the sun. The impact would likely have no significant effect on the sun's overall structure or behavior.
The largest asteroid that hasn't hit Earth is Ceres. Ceres is also considered a dwarf planet and is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is approximately 590 miles (940 kilometers) in diameter.
i believe that the answer to that aught to be either comet or asteroid
YES IT HAS YES IT HAS YES IT HAS YES IT HAS
yes! it depend to gravitational pull and the weight of an asteroid
Yes. An asteroid probably hit Siberia, in Russia, in June 1908.
Almost certainly.
There is no definitive evidence of an asteroid hitting Uranus. However, the planet's moons may have been impacted by asteroids in the past, as seen by the presence of impact craters on their surfaces.
Yes. All the planets can and have been hit by asteroids.
Yes. It has happened countless times.
Yes, any large object in the solar system can be hit by asteroids or comets. Pluto is located in the Kuiper Belt, a vast field of comets, so collisions with comets are probably not uncommon for the dwarf planet.

Yes, the Earth has been hit by asteroids in the past. These impacts have been responsible for mass extinction events and have left large impact craters on the Earth's surface. Fortunately, the likelihood of a large asteroid impact in the near future is low due to monitoring and detection efforts.
Depending on how you define "asteroid", it could have been last night.But there was an impact in Africa last October that probably qualifies as an "asteroid"; it was a space rock big enough to be seen through a telescope, and it was detected 18 hours BEFORE it hit. It was the first time scientists had ever observed a space rock before impact.
They have not been named. There have been many of them over the millions of years.
