Hey, one answer says it is too small, and another says too large.
In fact, comets generally do not contain bodies as large as Pluto. However, it is theorized that from time to time, giant comets enter the planetary system. Pluto and other Kuiper belt objects could be captured, spent, giant comets.
Certainly not a silly question.

We all learned that Pluto is the 9th planet from the Sun, but scientist has recently gave it the name of a dwarf planet. Therefore we only have 8 planets now in our solar system.
Definately not a comet.

You can view it that way, it's made of almost the exact same material that most comets are made of. When the New Horizons probe flies past it about this time next year we will get a much better understanding of exactly what it is

Pluto is in no way a comet.

No. It's been demoted to a dwarf planet. A comet is completely different.

Pluto is the 9th planet from the sun. it is all ice and no human or machine has ever landed on the surface of it. it is also the smallest planet in the solar system.

Last time I heard it had been demoted to plantoid ( a new classification to appease the "Pluto isn't a planet crowd").

Far too large for that
