it was eaten up by the trash we throw out in space instead of recycling!
LoL no it was excluded from the planets b/c the definition of a planet has changed and pluto does not fit the definition. on the contrary last week there was a news story about adding 3 planets.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon, and Xena.
having Ceres being the tip off b/c it would be added in the middle instead of the end like it's friends Charon and Xena. Americans would be the hardest to reeducate about the solar system. Come to think of it that may be the reason they took off pluto to avoid having to reeducate americans.

It became a Dwarf Planet, not a real Planet. possibly because Xena (Official name: 2003 UB313) , also a Dwarf planet, was larger then Pluto, and people were saying why isn't that a planet? So scientists ponderd on the definition of a planet, and thought that the definition should be re-vised.
The deferince between Dwarf Planet and Planet:***Note: Copyed and pasted from Wikipedia***
Dwarf Planet: ~Is in orbit around the Sun
~Has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape
~Has not "cleared the neighbourhood" around its orbit
~Is not a satellite of a planet, or other nonstellar body
Planet: (a) is in orbit around a star or stellar remnants;
(b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape;
(c) is not massive enough to initiate thermonuclear fusion of deuterium in its core; and,
(d) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.
Now you can see why Pluto's a dwarf planet. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NewSolarSystem.jpg to see the now 8 Planets, and 3 Dwarf Planets (Ceres is also now a Dwarf Planet)
There are 12 other possible Dwarf Planets including Pluto's Satelite, Charon and Sedna. Compleate list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_planet

Hey, I have an idea for you. On the section that says Search for questions? It's on the top left. Type in "Pluto" and you may find your answer there. I have been a member for a few weeks now and tons of people have been asking the same thing. Give it a try, you will be surprised at the answers that's already there.

The scientific decided it didnt had the aptitudes to be a planet. It's just a small asteroid or something.

it stinks because my old school St. Anthony School saved it back in the 90's because the guy who found pluto Claude Tomba (i spelt that wrong) was from my old town.. :(
