Pluto is a dwarf planet, as astronomers have found millions of Pluto like objects circling the sun in the kuiper belt, some are even bigger than Pluto like Eris. So they decided to call all these plutoids dwarf planets, instead of adding lots more planets to the solar system.
A dwarf planet has to be big enough to plough its way out of other objects like asteroids and its gravity has to be strong enough to hold it in a spherical shape.
What else can I help you with?
Who photographed Pluto?
Clyde Tombaugh, an American astronomer, discovered Pluto in 1930 while working at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona. He used photographic plates taken by the observatory's 13-inch astrograph to identify the dwarf planet.
Is Pluto has gone to black hole it is true or false?
False. Nothing actually happened to Pluto itself. All that has happened is that, after discovering several new Pluto-like objects, scentists came up with a new definition for a planet that excluded Pluto.
Why does one side of pluto always face charon?
Pluto and Charon are tidally locked, meaning they always show the same face to each other due to gravitational forces. This happens when one body’s rotation period matches its orbital period around another body.
When did Pluto become a black hole?
Pluto has not become a black hole. Pluto is a dwarf planet located in our solar system, while black holes are objects formed from the remnants of massive stars that have collapsed under their own gravity.
Does Plutonic rock come from the dwarf planet Pluto?
No, it is rock formed deep under the planet's surface. it is named for the god of the underworld, Pluto. The same god the planet was named for. See link below. No. Plutonic rock is igneous rock that has cooled and become solid deep in the earth. The granite sections of The Rocky Mountains are examples of this.
Why is Pluto the most furtherest away from the sun?
Pluto formed far away from the sun since a passing star shocked the thin gas and formed later.
Where did Pluto come from?
Pluto is at least 1 million years old according to scientists
Who photographed Pluto?

Can water be formed on Pluto?
Ice. Pluto, Charon, and pluto's other moons are not known to have any internal processes capable of generating sufficient heat to melt ice at their distance from the sun.
Is Pluto has gone to black hole it is true or false?
False. Nothing actually happened to Pluto itself. All that has happened is that, after discovering several new Pluto-like objects, scentists came up with a new definition for a planet that excluded Pluto.
What kind of atmosphere does Pluto have?
Given that the surface of Pluto is at a temperature of -233oC, most of the gases there would be frozen into solids. Current theories suggest an extremely thin atmosphere of gaseous nitrogen, formed when Pluto is nearest the Sun and some of the frozen nitrogen sublimes from the surface.
What did Pluto start out as?
sciencetist think that planet were formed my rocky icy matierial but Pluto didn;t get enough befor the others so he was puhed back where they recently found alot like 400 dwarf planets

Why is Pluto's rotation on its axis?
A planets rotation is dependent on the total number and direction of ALL the hits that it has taken since it initially formed.
What was the the planet that is no longer a planet in your solar system?
Pluto, it is now a dwarf planet or planetoid.
