Pluto is closer in size and composition to the MOONS of the outer planets Neptune and Uranus. It is not as substantial as the inner terrestrial planets, but is typical of many icy objects that orbit past Neptune.
The gas giants are massive objects with deep, dense atmospheres. Pluto is so small it cannot hold much of an atmosphere at all.
Pluto is not like a gas giant it is small in size so it is like aterrestrial planet, rather like Mercury but Pluto is far away and thus much cooler.
Please look up why the dwarf planets have been categorized and it will show you Pluto's failings in comparison to the other planets
Pluto fails to meet the criteria set by the new board of planet selectors (IAU) and is thus now categorized as a dwarf planet with it's moon Charon.
The arrival of Xena prompted the thought as Xena (now named Eris) was discovered not long ago, was bigger and much more rounded in formation than Pluto and they never knew what to call it.
Eris and Haumea have now been added to Pluto's list of the 5 dwarf planets in our solar system with the prospect of more in future
Neptune thus is our last and furthest named planet to our solar system, beyond this they will be known as dwarf planets.
This is a good idea too as rather similarly they should bring the same formulae for classification of moons and dwarf moons around our other planets.
Thus Pluto should in fact be a dwarf plant with a dwarf moon called Charon
based on the thesis that moons should be circular or ball like and non distorted with a circular orbit around the mother planet's (my thoughts)
Pluto is not considered to be a gas giant or a rocky planet because it is made up of mostly ice and dust. Pluto is no longer even considered to be a planet.
It's a dwarf planet and unlike gas planets it is made up of rock and ice instead of just gas.
Pluto can't be a Terrestrial or Jovian. It's much smaller than any of the official planets and now classified as a "dwarf planet.
But Pluto is not made of gas or rock.
Because its one of the quasi comet masses from the Ort cloud.
In other words, its a remnant of the forming solar system, not a major player.
it is small and made of rock
Because the inner planets are made of rock but the outer planets are made of gas(except for Pluto).
Other than Pluto, they are all made of gas.
Most of the Outer Planets beyond the Astroid Belt are made of gas, except for Pluto (if you consider Pluto to still be a planet). Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all made out of gas, but they do have particles of rock and ice surrounding them, too.
Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn is the deadliest gas planets in the whole solar system that not everyone has knew in U.S.A
all planets are gaseous(made out of gas)EXCEPT Pluto because it does not exist any more
Pluto is smaller than Earth's moon, it is not a gas giant planet, it is a dwarf planet.
Because Pluto is not a gas giant. It's a very small dwarf planet.
Pluto is because it is small ,and its not a gas giant like the other four large planets.
Pluto is not a planet anymore, it has been reclassified as a dwarf planet since 2006. It is very different from the four gas giants, much smaller and less massive. It has a solid, well defined surface, unlike the gas giant planets.

Yes Pluto is different than the outer planets in the following ways:Pluto has not cleared its orbit of asteroids and debrisPluto is not made of gasPluto is far smaller than any of the outer planets
The gas giants are these planets i named here, Jupiter,Saturn,uranus,neptune if Pluto was still a planet it would not be considered as a gas giant Pluto 1.Pluto is small 2. Pluto is past the kupiter belt that's in between neptune and Pluto there are your gas giants
no, only gas planets have rings except Pluto
Yes because Pluto is no longer in our solar system and the planets after Pluto are not in our solar system
Pluto is different from the inner planets in that it has not cleared it's orbit from asteroids.
