Pluto had been a planet for many, many years, before they deemed it no longer a planet. The technical definition of a planet has recently changed, to now accommodate stellar bodies such as Pluto. The new definition is as follows- "A planet is a sub-stellar mass that has never undergone nuclear fusion and that has sufficient self-gravitation to assume a spheroidal shape adequately described by a triaxial ellipsoid regardless of its orbital parameter." Basically, this new rule states that if it's not a star, and it isn't a rouge body, that also has the ability to remain a spherical shape, it should be considered a planet. Knowing that, Pluto is once again deemed a planet!Is Pluto still a planet same as the rest of the planets? or has it been changed? I think it has been changed.? ...

pluto isnt a planet because to be classified as a planet it has to dominate its own orbit meaning no other objects should be crossing its orbital path. like earth we dont have any other material following our our orbital path so thats why earth is classified as a planet. pluto has many large objects following its orbit meaning pluto doesnt dominate its own orbit so pluto isnt a planet. its the largest object in the kuiper beltIs Pluto still a planet same as the rest of the planets? or has it been changed?
