Detailed explanation-1: -Pluto is officially classified as a dwarf planet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Our solar system is made up of a star-the Sun-eight planets, 146 moons, a bunch of comets, asteroids and space rocks, ice, and several dwarf planets, such as Pluto. The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury is closest to the Sun. Neptune is the farthest.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one-it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.”
