They agreed a new definition of a planets and created "dwarf planets" as a separate type of object. Pluto qualified only as a "dwarf planet", because it is not the dominant object in the neighbourhood of its orbit.
What else can I help you with?
When and who reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet?
In the year 2006.Pluto was demoted because it did not have an orbit of its own, but shared its orbit with other Kuiper belt objects (KBOs).(The link below should help answer your question better)
Who took away Pluto's planet ship?
In 2006, the International Astronomical Union redefined the criteria for what constitutes a planet and reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet. This decision was influenced by new discoveries of similar-sized objects in the outer solar system and refined definitions of what characteristics a planet should possess.
What is Pluto called now?
It is still known as Pluto, even though it was downgraded to a dwarf planet and given a number. So really we should call it 134340Pluto.
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.
Why should Pluto be a planet or why should it not be a planet?
It should not be a planet. It didn't meet all the required things to be a planet. it has enough mass , orbit our star, but can't clear the neighbourhood, to pull in or push out debris in it's orbit.

Some astronomers think Pluto should not be called a planet because it?
Pluto is too cold to be a planet Pluto is made completely out of ice
Why don't astronomers think Pluto should not be called a planet?
Pluto has been the ninth planet in our solar system ever since it was discovered. However, as a small rocky planet with a very strange orbit, it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the gaseous outer planets. Pluto is much more similar to a group of objects called Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), or asteroids. So, some astronomers don't think Pluto should be called a planet.The International Astronomical Union (IAU) gets to decide questions for astronomers around the world. They have been talking about Pluto's status, and what it should be called. Since Pluto is very important to a lot of people, the IAU isn't going to take away Pluto's status as a planet. They are talking about calling Pluto both a planet and a TNO, but Pluto still is and will be a planet!

The current portion of long-term debt should?
be reclassified as a current liability

What planet disappeared?
No planet actually disappeared. A couple of years ago, there was agreement among most professional astronomers that Pluto should not be considered a major planet. It is no longer listed as a major planet of our solar system, but it is still there.
Why should Pluto be a planet or why should it not be a planet?
It should not be a planet. It didn't meet all the required things to be a planet. it has enough mass , orbit our star, but can't clear the neighbourhood, to pull in or push out debris in it's orbit.
Why do some astronomers think Pluto should not called a planet?
they think that it's too small to count for anything. :( really stupid but whatever. ~josette :) hope it helped a bit!
Should Pluto be a planet again?
I don't think so because we are discovering more Pluto like bodies in the solar system and we either have to make these planets or put Pluto into a new category (of Dwarf Planets) along with these.
Is pluto the 9th planet in the solar system?
Some people believe it is but others don't because the planet seems so small the wouldn't count it as a planet, and people are still arguing about it (i think) so for now it should be your opinion.
