Why is Pluto no longer a planet? In August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of dwarf planet.. This means that from now on only the rocky worlds of the inner Solar System and the gas giants of the outer system will be designated as planets.
Pluto (minor-planet designation: 134340 Pluto) is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond Neptune. It was the first Kuiper belt object to be discovered.n 1978, the discovery of Pluto's moon Charon allowed the measurement of Pluto's mass for the first time: roughly 0.2% that of Earth, and far too small to account for the discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus. Subsequent searches for an alternative Planet X, notably by Robert Sutton Harrington, failed.
