Pluto is a "dwarf planet".
He's also a Disney character, but I don't think that was the answer you were looking for.

many people think it's a planet and some think it just a comet from the kuiper belt which is 10 years from pluto. Scientists are starting to think it's just a comet. Here is what I think about pluto, it's a planet because it gose around like the other planets and if it a comet why has it going around and outside the milky way

pluto used to be the ninth planet of our solar system but now astronomers just think it is a Kuiper Belt Object or a KBO. the Kuiper Belt is a hypothetical area around our solar system from where comets and other rocky bodies originate. pluto could also just be another insignificant object from the kuiper belt that got trapped in orbit by the sun's gravitational field.

In Astronomy it is a dwarf planet, in ancient Greek mythology a God, lord of the underworld ruling over the dead. Pluto is also a cartoon, it's Mickey's dog!

regardless of what the pinheads think, Pluto is a planet, tiny, but still a planet...
It has been a planet for hundreds of years, why bonehead scientists decided to change this is idoitic!

To my understanding, it is only a ball of ice.They still included it in the solar system as a dwarf planet, (whatever that means.)

a dwarf planet. apparently they decided it just wasn't big enough to be called a full planet anymore, after years of having a full planetary status.
