Support for the idea that Pluto is a planet includes its spherical shape, which is a characteristic of celestial bodies classified as planets. Additionally, Pluto has a complex atmosphere and shows geological activity, suggesting it has internal processes similar to those of the eight recognized planets. Furthermore, some argue that the historical context of Pluto's classification as the ninth planet should also be considered, as it reflects a long-standing cultural and scientific understanding of what constitutes a planet.
What else can I help you with?
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.
When did the IAU agree that Pluto was a dwarf planet?
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) agreed that Pluto should be classified as a dwarf planet on August 24, 2006, during their General Assembly in Prague. This decision was based on new definitions of what constitutes a planet, which led to Pluto being reclassified from a full-fledged planet to a dwarf planet.
Pluto he planet was named after Pluto the dog?
Pluto the planet was named after the Roman god of the underworld, not the Disney dog. The name was proposed by Venetia Burney, an 11-year-old schoolgirl from England, in 1930. Pluto the Disney dog was named after the planet, not the other way around.
What supports the idea that Pluto is not a planet?
Pluto does not clear its orbit of debris, a key criteria for planethood, as defined by the International Astronomical Union in 2006. Additionally, Pluto shares characteristics with other objects in the Kuiper Belt, suggesting it is more akin to a dwarf planet or large asteroid than a full-fledged planet.
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.

Mars and Pluto have just about the same mass which planet has greater gravity and why?
Actually, the idea that Pluto had about the same mass as Mars is outdated. It is now known that Pluto has less than 2% the mass of Mars, and therefore has less gravity.
What supports the idea that Pluto is A PLANET?
The fact that Pluto has hydrostatic equilibrium (a roughly spherical shape caused by gravitational influence) as attested to via the Hubble images. One could argue that it is a double planet with Charon which also maintains hydrostatic equilibrium and is bigger than the dwarf planet Ceres. This reviewer happens to believe that the idea of a planet completely clearing it's orbit of debris as a prerequisite to be a planet is silly and in many cases involving lagrange points is impossible.
What planet has a moon that is so close to its planets size that many consider it a binary planet?
That could be Pluto with its mate, Charon.(Of course Pluto is only a "dwarf planet" now.)Alternate:Some people have argued that this holds true for Earth and Earth's Moon, although the idea has not caught on. Earth's Moon has by far the largest mass in proportion to its companion planet when compared with any other moon in the solar system.
Where did planet Pluto get its name?
Eris is named after the goddess Eris, a personification of strife and discord.
What is the structure of Pluto?
I have like no idea.
What is niburus?
I am not sure what you mean but i think what you ment was niburu Niburu is a frozen gas giant behind Pluto far away from earth, it is not considered a planet yet thought. theres been debates that tells that we must choose between having both the plante Pluto and niburu a planet or neither of them a planet, niburu is also known to soon crash into earth that people believe is what that 2012 is. Niburu is also called planet x
Is there is life on Pluto?
It is unknown if there is any life on Pluto. Not much is known about the dwarf planet, and life on Pluto is very doubtful because of the environment on the planet. It is so cold, small and is very far away from the sun
