Unfortunately, being cute is not part of the criteria of being a planet. Basically, the change of status of Pluto is an innate part of science. If you suddenly realize that something doesn't fit, it's status gets changed. It doesn't matter if it's a theory on some abstruse math point or the designation of a solar body as a planet.
The bottom line, however, is that Pluto hasn't changed. It's still as cute as it ever was. I just has a new classification.

the reason that Pluto become excluded is that that is purely one Kuiper Belt merchandise (KBO) of many that we've now seen. the two there are 8 planets or there are extra (in all probability so lots extra) than 9. 9 isn't logical no count what. that is not truthful to wish Pluto over different KBOs, a number of that are in all probability bigger. And that is better to handle KBOs like asteroids, that are additionally no longer seen planets. That way we've 8 properly defined planets, hundreds of asteroids, and hundreds of KBOs, as a replace of attempting to %. some particular asteroids and a few particular KBOs out and contact them planets. What could lead them to particular, that individuals wold no longer argue with no lead to sight approximately?

(Serious answer.)
It is not fair that Pluto is considered as a planet as recently there have been discovered many other objects larger than and closer to the Sun than Pluto. Thus if Pluto is to be aknowledged as a planet then so must the other objects too.

I think Pluto got a bad rap. Just because it was the smallest planet doesn't mean we need to be haters. Its been a planet as long as I can remember. Why change it now? Let the poor little thing hold onto its title.

Pluto is still there. If your parents give you a nickname, it does not mean they throw you out of the house.

It is a complete stupidity to do that, as it completes the 11 number of planets orbitting the sun, including the astroids belt between mars & jupiter, & the planet discovered last year.
This 11 number of planets, is one of the meracle of the holy qur'an 1500years ago, in which the profet Joseph said to his father that, he saw in his dream 11 planets , the sun & the moon were praying in respect in front of him.

I don't know how many other people have already asked this question. It wasn't "deleted", just reclassified, but not as a moon as some claim, no, as a dwarft planet, that's it.

If you are going to enter into conversations on astronomy and space you will have to improve your vocabulary, if not the grammar.How does cuteness enter the picture?
