Pluto does not follow the same orbit as all the other planets. That is to say it has a high eccentric orbit that does not follow the ecliptic. The ecliptic is an imaginary line taken from the Sun's equator and extended out across the solar system, like the rings of Saturn.
Pluto is small and probably a captured asteroid or Kuiper belt object(KBO ) and so was voted not to be an original planet formed at the birth of the solar system.
Pluto is not being removed from the solar system,but it seemswhen it was discovered nearly 80 years ago we wrongly called it a planet. We have dicovered more about Pluto since then and it does not behave in any way like the solar systems other planets. Whatever you call it, its staying where it is.
Pluto is still there, of course. But it has been demoted - it is no longer considered a major planet, but a so-called "dwarf planet".
Its considered not a planet but a moon since its so small..
The discovery of other objects with a similar size and distance as Pluto in more recent years has meant that astronomers either had to keep adding planets to the list, or we had to redefine what a planet actually was. In 2006, a new definition for a planet was established. It had to be approximately round, it had to orbit the sun and it had to have cleared its neighbourhood of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there were no other sizable bodies. Pluto is not large enough to have done the latter (i.e. it crosses Neptunes orbit), while all other remaining planets have, so it was downgraded to a dwarf planet. There are now eight planets recognised and five Dwarf planets, of which Pluto is one.
It transformed into Plutron and left orbit, therefore no longer being classed as a planet.
This is because it is too small to be classed as a planet.
Because Pluto is a dwarf planet.
Planet Pluto is in solar system and Solar system is in the Universe t, hence Pluto is also in our universe.However Pluto was not part of original Solar sytem but was a comet which was captured in a planetary orbit.
Yes, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto used to be one.
Technically, the planetary status of pluto is no longer a planet, but the term "planet" is simply a name. Scientists have decided that Pluto is no longer a planet mainly because it is just too small. Larger planetary objects have been discovered, and those are not considered planets, so just to keep things simple, Pluto is not considered a planet but as a large planetary object.
Back when Pluto was still listed as a planet it was considered to have the weakest gravity of all the solar system's planets. Now that Pluto has been demoted from planetary status, the planet with the weakest surface gravity is Mercury. While Pluto's gravity is weaker than that of any planet in the solar system, there are still many non-plantery objects with weaker surface gravity.
Pluto's moon Charon is smaller than it. Since they both orbit round each other, one could argue that they both orbit the Sun as a bi-planetary system.
see 'why was Pluto removed from the planetary system? '
Pluto was officially removed from the classification of planet after a discussion and vote of planetary scientists. Turns out there are numerous planetoids at the far reaches of the solar system.
Planet Pluto is in solar system and Solar system is in the Universe t, hence Pluto is also in our universe.However Pluto was not part of original Solar sytem but was a comet which was captured in a planetary orbit.
Because Pluto is very very very small and the smallest planet in our planetary system
Charon is the largest moon of Pluto, a dwarf planet that was once considered a planet. Charon is so massive compared to Pluto that rather than Charon orbiting Pluto, the two objects orbit a common center of mass. This leads some to called Pluto-Charon a binary planetary system.
Yes, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto used to be one.
Are you all in the middle of a pub quiz or something??? the answer is PLUTO by the way.

planetary names are the names of planets. they are: Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto
Neptune has an average temperature of -200C, making it the coldest planet in the solar system (at least now that Pluto has been demoted from planetary status).
The dwarf planet Pluto lost its classification as a planet in 2006.
