Only the name has changed. The gravitational pull is no different than it was for the millions of years before we knew Pluto existed. Besides, Pluto is so small and so far from the sun that if it disappeared, the effect on Earth and other planets would be barely measurable.

Nope. Just because we've stopped calling it a planet doesn't mean that it isn't there or that it's any less massive.
Even if there was a change, the sun wouldn't pull on Earth any more than it does now. The gravitational interaction between two bodies is unaffected by the presence of a third.

Absolutely. The pull of gravity has to be shared between all the planets. Now that Pluto has lost its share, all the other planets will divide it up. However, don't worry! Earth's share will be too small to be noticed.
Now, if they re-classify Jupiter as a Maxi-planet, it would have to be given a bigger share of the Sun's gravity. This could definitely be a problem, and the Earth could be pulled out of its orbit to some degree. there could be huge changes in Earth's climate!
;-D Better questions get better answers, but this was a fun question anyway!

Don't worry, the scientists found several other dwarf planets to take care of the extra gravitational potential of sun to attract things. So we lost a planet but now we have 3 dwarf planets so it is back to normal again. They wouldn't change Pluto unless they knew they could fix the any negative effects.

no, because the term planet is just a classification for a large celestial body. These bodies can be catagorized by many different names including moon and meteor. The fact that the classification might change will in no way impact its gravitational properties, which dont really affect earth in any way.

well why don't you ask the scientist who suddenly decide on everything to do with our earth and solar system.
Pluto is a planet and they can say it isn't, but it is still there and what is different today than yesterday when it still was a planet.
Scientists are too overbearing sometimes. They are not the ones who tell us what to believe and what not to believe. They are just a bunch of people who have a lot of fantasies about stuff. 'They call them theories

Not at all.
Pluto is still there. It did not explode.
Even if it did,I don't think the gravitational pull on earth will change.
It depends on masses of earth, sun, and distance of sun from earth, none of which changed

Nothing to do with the gravity of the sun to all the 9 planets.
it just has something to do with the agreement of all the scientist to classify pluot not as a planet anymore, that's all. The scientists can not change anything with the gravity.

oh man! dats tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo scientific !!!
neways dis can happen but u see since pluto is no more a planet but we hv found oder planets so we can say dat the tides may decrease rader dan increasing!

of course not...lol....pluto is still there but no longer considered as a planet.......the gravitation force is still the same.....
