Did planet Pluto still exist???

Question

Did planet Pluto still exist???

Answer 1

WHAT THE **** ARE YOU TALKEN ABOUT!!!!

Answer 2

It just isn't categorized as a planet anymore because they found a bunch of "little" planets about the same size and composition.  The scientists decided to exclude PLuto instead of including all of the other bodies.

Answer 3

It still exists but it exists as a dwarf planet near a belt with an abundance of dwarf planets called The Kuiper Belt.

Answer 4

as a heavenly body with the classification of a planet...no.

But it's still there...just because it's been reclassified doesn't mean it's gone away :)

Answer 5

yes the planet pluto is still with us... though i'm suprised giving the enormous amount of hostility it is getting! poor pluto was a planet for 76 years (1930 - 2006) and now it got demoted to a "plutoid".

join my cause to reinstate pluto as a planet!

Answer 6

no....they totally blew it up...

Answer 7

Yes it does, its just classified as a 'Dawrf Planet' now.

Answer 8

Yes Pluto still exists. But henceforth Pluto and its neighbouring small bodies are called Plutoids. It is still not finalised. The name plutoids is still subjected to change.

Answer 9

Pluto does still exist but it is no longer classified as a planet.  It (along with Eris and Ceres) was first changed to a Dwarf Planet by the International Astronomical Union.  Then, it was changed again this June.  Pluto and Eris (in the Kuiper Belt)are now classified as Plutoids.  Ceres, because it is one of a kind in the Asteroid Belt, is a Dwarf Planet, except that there is no Dwarf Planet classification now.  I don't know what the IAU considers Ceres to be.

Two years ago, the IAU voted to kick Pluto out of the planet family and demote it to what they called a dwarf planet. But, Marsden says, Ceres, which is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, also fit that bill, so scientists needed to distinguish between rocky dwarf planets like Ceres and icy ones like Pluto.

Ceres is not a plutoid because it does not lie beyond Neptune. But Marsden noted that the committee recommended to the IAU Executive Committee to name Ceres-like objects ceroids. The IAU did not accept that name because current scientific knowledge leads astronomers to believe that Ceres is the only object of its kind.

Answer 10

you mean does planet pluto still exsist? yes, thay just put it in dwarf planets instead of planets because it is too small. it is still a planet, just a dwarf planet because of its size.

Answer 11

Interesting how you phrased your question, and the answer is yes and no.
