We do study Pluto. We have been studying it since 1930. In fact, On July 14, 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew 12,500 km (7,800 mi) above the surface of Pluto, making it the first spacecraft to explore the dwarf planet.
On October 25, 2016, the last of the recorded data from the Pluto flyby was received from New Horizons.
What else can I help you with?
Are all dwarf planets rocky and made out of ice?
i dont know about all dwarf planets but pluto is
What happen to Pluto in the solar system?
Pluto was declared not a planet because it didn't obey one of the three rules that i needed to obey to be a planet. It had to clear its orbits, which Pluto didn't because of its minuscule size. Pluto is approximately the size of half the United States. Also Pluto wasn't the only Pluto floating around in our solar system, apparently there are other kuiper belt objects even bigger than Pluto that are not declared planets. If Pluto was a planet these other Pluto like objects would be too. I hope this helped you!
What is the difference between a dwarf planet and planet?
A PLUTOIDS is a dwarf planets with an orbit outside that of Neptune.Plutiods are sometimes referred to as "ice dwarfs" due to their diminutive size and cold surface temperatures.The outer planets show evidence of interaction with plutoids. While dwarf planets, there are potentially hundreds of plutoid objects in the solar system that has yet to be given official. Dwarf planet are aloso objects in the solar system which orbit the sun.
What does Pluto have that other planets dont?
Pluto is so small and far away that it has no effect whatsoever on the planet Earth. To better put this into perspective:Pluto's distance from Earth ranges from about 2.66 billion miles (4.28 billion km) at the closest, to 4.67 billion miles (or 7.5 billion km) at the furthest.Pluto has a mass of 0.013 x 10^22 kg, which is 0.2% that of Earth's mass (which is 5.97 x 10^24 kg).
How many volcanoes does Pluto have?
well first i dont think uranus has any volcanoes one it. and second if it did there would probably be a lot.
Some astromers dont think its a planet what planet is it?

Why is there only 8 planets now?
As Pluto, a dwarf planet, is no longer counted as a planet, there are now only 8 known planets in our solar system.It remains to be seen if the discovery of extra-solar planets affects how we classify objects within our solar system. Several hundred likely planets have been detected orbiting other stars, with the possibility that there are other solar systems like our own. By late 2011, a total of 599 exoplanets had been identified and another 1235 were pending corroboration.Status of PlutoPluto is a dwarf planet in the solar system and the prototype of a yet-to-be-named family of Trans-Neptunian objects. From its discovery in 1930 until 2006, it was considered the ninth and smallest of the planets of the Solar System, both by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the general public. After much debate, the IAU decided on August 24, 2006 to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, requiring that a planet must "clear the neighborhood around its orbit." Further observations may also affect the definition of Charon as a moon of Pluto, possibly the classification of the two as a binary planet.
What is the newly added planet to the solar system?
There is no newly added planet to the solar system. The last major change to the planetary lineup was the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006.

How many rings does Planet x have?
By 'planet X' if you mean Niburu, there is NO evidence that it even exists. besides, with the size that it is predicted to be, there is no way that it could support a ring system. if you mean Planet X as in, the tenth planet in the solar system, you are talking about the dwarf planet Pluto, which has no rings.
How are inner planets alike?
Inner planets are all terrestrial in nature, meaning they have solid surfaces made of rock and metal. They are all relatively small in size compared to the outer gas giants. Additionally, they all have few or no moons and lack thick atmospheres like those found on gas giants.
How many volcanoes does Pluto have?
well first i dont think uranus has any volcanoes one it. and second if it did there would probably be a lot.
What is the most distance planet from earth?
well, actually, in our solar system, it is pluto, but given pluto is not a planet anymore it would be neptune. sorry i dont know those out of our solar system.Hope i helped!To clarify, the farthest out known planet in our solar system IS Neptune.This is due to Pluto's demotion to Dwarf Planet status, plus the fact that Pluto at times wanders in CLOSER than Neptune's orbit (another very suspicous aspect of Pluto).When it comes to planets OUTSIDE our solar system, there are none confirmed at this time, but minor wobbles in the orbit of other stars and occassional winks and dimming of other star outputs would seem to indicate the existance of other planets.
What planet is behind Earth?
it is Uranus .an easy method is to say this "my very easy method just speeds up naming planet's reason why is the m in my is for Mercury,the v in very is for Venus e in easy is for earth, the m in method is for mars, the j in just is for Jupiter,the s in speeds is for Saturn, the u in up is for Uranus's, the n in naming is for Neptune and the p in the planets is for Pluto which is not a planet but a dwarf planet.
