somewhat. scientists ruled it out of the main nine planets. so now there are 8. but they classified it as a DWARF planet. meaning a small planet. No, recently scientists have officically decided that Pluto is no longer a planet, as it hardly has it's own core. It's too small to be a planet, thus is called the Dwarf Planet.
