    Pluto is not a planet. Plus more planets have been added to what we define as planets in our soler system. Only one I can name off the top of my head is Ceres.

    Pluto is useless anyway. It's just a big gas.

    Pluto is NOT a big ball of gas, it is in fact quite solid. Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants...pluto funnily enough is not..

    Ceres is still only a dwarf planet though. It's not a 'planet' as defined by the IAU.
