Pluto did not meet the criteria for a planet. It had an unorthodox orbit than the rest of the planets (sometimes it went into Neptune's orbit), its moon, Charon, and Pluto were orbiting each other, and Pluto was more similar and comparative sized to Kuiper Belt objects. Pluto is not a planet.
Pluto has 5 moons. The largest Charon and Pluto orbit a point 960km above Pluto's surface, similar to Earth and the Moon which orbit a point 4,671 km from Earths centre The other 4 moons are quite small compared to Charon but orbit in fairly circular orbits.
Might I point out that one of the strongest advocates of Pluto's demotion was the man who discovered Eris (Mike Brown) - and had he advocated the opposite side, he might have been the discoverer of a planet? It was strongly in his best interest to keep Pluto in the catalogue of planets, but it's much more obviously correct that it should not be a planet.
That is not what happened. Who told you that farce? We saw Pluto for the first time in 2015. Why would they send a probe just to evaluate if Pluto is a planet? Pluto did not meet the criteria for a planet. It had an unorthodox orbit than the rest of the planets (sometimes it went into Neptune's orbit), its moon, Charon, and Pluto were orbiting each other, and Pluto was more similar and comparatively sized to Kuiper Belt objects. Educate yourself before making stupid comments.
Actually, you should take your own advice and educate YOURSELF. Pluto was discovered in February 18, 1930. It was classified as a dwarf planet in 2006.
Some scientists were so bored that they decided one day, "Let's mess with what everyone knows; Pluto's characteristics are a little weird, so let's make it NOT a full planet anymore. Henceforth, it shall only be a dwarf planet." Hey, the word "planet" is still in "dwarf planet," so Pluto will ALWAYS be a planet to me! XD
Why is it "messed up"? Pluto did not meet the criteria for a planet. It had an unorthodox orbit than the rest of the planets (sometimes it went into Neptune's orbit), its moon, Charon, and Pluto were orbiting each other, and Pluto was more similar and comparatively sized to Kuiper Belt objects.
I'm going to tell the truth of Pluto. Pluto and NASA has a secret with the IAU in 2006 that Pluto is smaller than the moon. It doesn't clear its neighborhood. And it shrunk. And Eris is slightly bigger than Pluto. Before, there are 11 planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Eris. 3 of them called Ceres, Pluto, and Eris doesn't follow the 3 steps IAU said to be a planet. That is why they are dwarf planets now.
Pluto USED to be a planet. But today, it is NOT a planet because it went out its axis into orbiting nearby planets and it's now called a star. I got 100% with :48 spare.
When I went to school my teachers taught me that Pluto is a planet. I love my teachers but now I realize not only was this incorrect but so were so many things. Now I realize that so many of the "smart people" in the world rely on such terrible assumptions and facts. There are worlds without end, creations eternal and they will continue. I agree with Moses who saw the universe and said, I am nothing. The vastness of God's creations are astounding. The Hubble and many other things make me know that God is everlasting and am so humbled by his creations.
In defence of your teachers it has to be admitted that until Mike Brown discovered Eris (followed by the debate about Pluto's planetary status) in 2006, Pluto was scientifically recognized as a planet.
My Very Exciting Magic carpet Just Sailed Under Nine palace elephants. C is Ceres the other E is Eris. You'll would know what the P is (clue: it too is not a planet)
Everybody talks about global warming, but nobody ever mentions the problem of global shrinkage. Due to climate change the people on the earth are getting lazier, shorter and fatter. I'm of average height and I'm getting tired of being exposed to the tops of other people's heads.
Thanks to my fourth grade classmate, Isa (Thank you very very much, if you see this! I might see you by the time we get to high school! Also, please be safe and healthy!), we learned it this way:

Nice Quiz, I know the word Mercury before. I live in the Philippines and there is a drug store named "Mercury Drug" BTW this is a store where I buy vitamins. If you don't know, just click here.

To remember the order of the eight planets in our solar system, just remember this sentence:
My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Noodles.
My for Mercury
Very for Venus
Energetic for Earth
Mother for Mars
Just for Jupiter
Served for Saturn
Us for Uranus
Noodles for Neptune
"Mother very Thoughtfully made a jelly sandwich under no protest!"
Note 1: of course, this was when Pluto was still considered one of the main planets.
Note 2: the article "a" could stand in for the Asteroid belt, located between Mars and Saturn.
... a spaceship went to Pluto and classify it as a dwarf planet during 2006....

In August 24, 2006.
There are 3 criteria to become a planet
Pluto did not meet the 3rd one.
So for people who says pluto a planet
PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET
in 2006 it was classified as a dwarf planet >:(
