Is Pluto the last planet from the Sun?

Answer 1

Pluto is not the last planet technically. Now it is a dwarf planet as it became to small to be considered a planet. Pluto is not the last planet. It is called the last planet as it is the furthest away planet that orbits our sun. There are many other planets further away from us than Pluto.

Answer 2

No, there were two planets found after it in 2008.

The definition of "planet" is currently a point of some controversy. The small trans-Neptunian objects discovered beyond Pluto, and Pluto itself, were classified as "dwarf planets" by the International Astronomical Union.

Since then, several HUNDRED extra-solar planets, usually very large ones, have been discovered in orbit around other stars. It begins to seem that planets will be quite common in the galaxy.

Answer 3

That was the accepted definition, but things have changed. First, astronomers found more distant orbital bodies farther out than Pluto, and then Pluto was downgraded to "dwarf planet" status.

Now Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun all the time, not just when Pluto's orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune.

Answer 4

Pluto's outermost orbit would be the last thing you pass as you leave our solar system. The IAU has redefined what constitutes a planet and Pluto has been relegated to "Dwarf Planet".

Answer 5

No, Pluto is not the last planet from the Sun. After Pluto, the next planet farthest from the Sun is Neptune. However, Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.
