Well first of all, Pluto is very small like a star. Plus it is far away and cold and you have to be close enough or be on Pluto to see it.

Find some evidence that you think shows that Pluto should or should not be classed as a planet?

One piece of evidence supporting Pluto being considered a planet is its spherical shape and orbit around the Sun. However, its classification as a planet has been debated due to its small size, sharing its orbit with other objects, and not being able to clear its orbit of debris like other planets.


Some scienctist have suggested that Pluto is not a planet what evidence supports such an idea?

One key piece of evidence is that Pluto does not clear its orbit of debris, a criterion used to define a planet. Additionally, Pluto is much smaller and less massive than the other planets in our solar system, more closely resembling other icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt. These factors led to its reclassification as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2006.


Is there enough evidence to support the idea that Pluto is not a planet?

That's a difficult question to answer, just because of how it's phrased. It is a common misconception that Pluto is no longer considered a planet. This idea is silly, though. Pluto is very obviously a planet. It is, however, considered a minor planet, rather than a major one, because it does not match defining qualifications to be a major planet. The reason it was not originally classified as a minor planet is that technology simply wasn't sharp enough to give us a good look at it. Pluto remained something of an enigma, with its highly elliptical orbit and elusive features. We just didn't know how to classify Pluto. As technology has progressed, we have been able to identify that Pluto is just too small to be considered a major planet. It is instead considered to be a dwarf planet, a category not even recognized at the time of Pluto's discovery. If we were to consider Pluto a major planet, we would also have to consider Ceres, Eris, and Makemake major planets. To synopsize your answer, no, there is not enough evidence to support the idea that Pluto is not a planet. Mainstream science doesn't consider Pluto to not be a planet. Popular culture captured Pluto's changed classification and incorporated it into mythology.


What Pluto observations did not help convince scientists to change Pluto's status from that of a planet?

Observations of Pluto's orbit and size did not provide enough evidence to change its status from a planet. Astronomers cited factors such as its small size and irregular orbit as reasons for excluding it from the planetary classification.
