Pluto was redesignated as a dwarf planet. All the stars we can see are much bigger than the planets and many of them are bigger than the Sun.
Pluto is no longer classified as a planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) because it did not meet the criteria set for a celestial body to be considered a planet. Instead, it is classified as a dwarf planet due to its small size and orbital characteristics.
No, there are eight: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto has been downgraded from a planet and the Sun is designated a star. Edit: May 8th 2013 You are partially correct but wrong. There are 11 planets not 9 not 8. Pluto is a planet it's not a moon or a rock or whatever it's a dwarf planet which is still a planet. The other two planets are not higly known about but they are called Eris and Ceres. In total there are 11. Not 9 or 8 or 7.
Pluto is not called a star. It was classified as the ninth planet in our solar system until 2006 when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. Stars are massive, luminous spheres of plasma held together by gravity that emit light and heat through nuclear fusion. Pluto is a small, rocky object located in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.
No. Pluto is still perfectly intact. It is no longer considered a planet as of 2006 because of a new definition, which Pluto did not quite meet.
The object called at various times, the Morning Star and the Evening Star is the planet Venus.
Pluto never changed to a star. In 2006 it was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Pluto is not a star. It is classified as a dwarf planet. It was reclassified on August 24, 2006.
In this star system there are eight known planets. Previously there were nine, but Pluto has since been reclassified as a dwarf planet. Charon, previously regarded as a satellite of Pluto, has also been reclassified as a dwarf planet.

Pluto is not a star. It recently got renamed from being a "Planet" and is now called a "Dwarf Planet."

No planet is a star.
A star and a planet, both have cores.
A star is a completely different thing from a planet. In other words no star is a planet.
Currently, there are only eight planets in our solar system, so there is no tenth planet. The tenth planet ever to be discovered (not counting Pluto as a planet) is a planet that orbits the star PSR B1257+12. It is about a thousand light years away from the sun.
