Pluto is difficult to observe astronomically, because it is both very far away, and relatively small, so people can't get information.
No, not all astronomers consider Pluto a planet. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union, leading to debate among scientists about its classification. Some astronomers argue that Pluto does not meet all the criteria to be considered a full planet.
Pluto used to be classified as the ninth planet from the Sun, but it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union.
No. There are no storms on Pluto that we know of.
I don't know what "captured asteroid" means in this sense (though I can't imagine any scenario in which it might conceivably be applied to Pluto). The opinion of the International Astronomical Union is that Pluto is not a planet, because it has not "cleared its orbit". That's not a "hypothesis", it's a fact.
In August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet. It was downgraded because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Pluto meets all the criteria except one: it hasnâ??t cleared its neighboring region of other objects.

No scientists say that. Scientists know that Pluto is a dwarf planet, and not one of the 8 major planets of our solar system.
yes, there is but scientists are still discovering it----
Its been proven. Wow. Who asks that question? Just kidding. The scientists have proven it!

We know the least about the planet Uranus compared to other planets in our solar system. It is the seventh planet from the Sun and has only been visited by a single spacecraft, Voyager 2, in 1986. Its thick atmosphere and unique rotation on its side make it a challenging planet to study.

Pluto is the only planet in the solar system that has not been explored with a spacecraft. What is know about the dark, frozen world is the result of many years of work by scientists. It is thought that Pluto is made up of a mixture of rocks and several kinds of "ices". Scientists believe that most of the ices that make up Pluto are frozen methane and ammonia.
The planet before Neptune is Uranus. The planet after Neptune is Pluto but Pluto is know classified as a dwarf planet.
