Introduction
Pluto is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt of the Milky-Way Galaxy. Originally Pluto was called the ninth planet in our solar system but was later reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union. Pluto is the largest dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, because of this reclassifying Pluto as a dwarf planet was a controversial decision and is still an ongoing debate among astrologists.
History
