Are you are asking if Pluto should no longer be considered part of the solar system because it is not longer considered a plant?
If so the answer is that it is in our solar system. You have to realize that that are many objects that are not planets that are part of our solar system. Comets, Asteiods, etc.
If you are using distance is a determining factor as to whether Pluto should be part of our solar system, it still is part of our solar system.
Pluto orbits the sun at a distance ranging from 29.71 AU to 49.33 AU. An AU is short for Astronomical Distance which equals the mean distance of the earth from the sun.
The Kuiper Belt encompasses an area of 30 AU to 50 AU from the Sun. Putting Neptune with in it's realm as well is Pluto. Pluto is now consider to be a Kuiper Belt Object or Dwarf Planet. The reason I meantion the Kuiper Belt is that it is part of the solar system.
Go a bit farther out to 67.7 AU and we find Eris formally classifed 2003 UB313. It is the 9th largest object directly orbiting the sun. Also dubbed the 10th planet it is believed to be slightly larger than Pluto. It is also part of the solar system.
If you ask me I still think Pluto is a planet and consider Eris to be the 10th planet. And so do many scientist who actually know a lot more than me about this subject.

No matter what people say, Pluto is part of the solar system. If you would like to discuss whether or not is should be a planet, that is a different question and that depends solely on how you decide to classify planets and the definition you decide to use.

Pluto was a planet for as long as I've been around and as far as I'm concerned, it is still a planet in our solar system. All of a sudden some hight falluting somebody has to mess with something and change it. Just leave things alone.

Well I guess that's up to pluto, I mean if PLUTO decides to go revolving around a different SUN well that should be PLUTO's decision, eh? I mean if the other sun allows it?
DO you think one SUN would get "hurt" as in offended, if a planet decides to leave it's orbital tract and follow another? Well I guess we could say what we say, maybe the SUN would know that it was for teh survival or the planet.. I don't know sometimes PLANETS explode and sometimes suns "go off" the horn that way as well I guess.. and maybe they IMPLODE as well, suns that is.. I mean I do not think planets woudl really implode unless they are HOLLOW and then in such a case they may cave in I guess... who knows.... what I do know is that the VEGAN word is the most important word on EARTH today, that is if it is used correctly and such as to say.

If I had my way all the planets would be kicked out and forced to get a visa to reenter. They use our gravity and sun light for free and bring their little moons in and take space that could be used for more productive stuff. They claim that they only fill the space that Earth people are to lazy to use. My ex-mother in law could fill that space and then some quite easily. So don't talk to me about lazy earthlings.
Hell half of them are just gas bags anyhow. What good does that do anyone?

It's in the Solar System whether you like it or not. I don't think anyone can move it.

I think so cuz they just were talkin about some plantet x or somethin and wouldn't it be stupid to kick pluto out and say that there was an identical planet!

Since it has been called for a planet for so long, I don't think we should just get rid of it.
