Some people believe it is but others don't because the planet seems so small the wouldn't count it as a planet, and people are still arguing about it (i think) so for now it should be your opinion.

Which planet used to be a planet but is not now?

Pluto used to be classified as the ninth planet in our solar system, but it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union due to its size and orbit characteristics.


What was the believed to be the ninth planet from 1930 to 2006?

The 9th planet to be discovered was Pluto in 1930. However, by 2006 there were so many Pluto-sized objects being found that a reclassification was made. Pluto was classified as a "dwarf planet" along with the asteroid Ceres and the planetoids Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.There is no 9th planet. It used to be Pluto, but that's classified as a dwarf planet now.Pluto


How was the tenth planet created?

There is not a 10th plane, yet. Some day maybe there will be but for now there isn't. Dont worry about this right now. There isn't even a 9th planet, but there used to be until scientists and astronauts called Pluto not a planet for its size and many other reasons. :) Maybe the 9th or 10th planet will be a livable planet and everyone can move there. Who knows. ;)

What place is Neptune from the sun?

Its the 8th planet in the solar system however, when Pluto (which was 9th planet) until it was demoted to dwarf planet, passes inside the orbit of Neptune; Neptune then becomes the outer most planet making it the 9th. I do not know if this still counts now because of Pluto's new status.


What is the tenth planet in the Solar System?

There are only 8 planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

There never was a 10th planet in the solar system.

Tell you about Pluto?

Wait so I tell you some things about pluto? Okay. Well Pluto USE to be the 9th planet but now it is a dwarf planet. That means it is not a real planet really. It is at the end of the solar system which is farthest from the sun so it's EXTREMELY cold in Pluto. It is so cold that no life can possibly be on Pluto and astronauts need warm air filled suits to go on Pluto!
