Pluto received a new designation in 2006 as a Dwarf Planet, formerly a planet but now listed in the Minor Planet Catalogue. It is also categorized as a Trans-Neptunian Object and sometimes called a Plutoid or Ice Dwarf.
Because of its distance from Earth it is hard to study - but in 2015 a probe should reach it and give more detailed information. At this time it is assumed to be composed of frozen gas like methane and nitrogen, with a thick layer of water ice, and likely have a rocky core.
None, really. That might describe Pluto, but Pluto was recategorized as a "dwarf planet" a few years ago. "Dirty snowball" is also a good description of most comets.
Pluto has a diameter of about 1,473 miles (2,370 kilometers), making it smaller than Earth's moon. Its color is reddish-brown due to the presence of tholins, complex organic molecules that form as a result of sunlight interacting with methane and nitrogen in Pluto's atmosphere.
