Is pluto really a planet?
Answer / Vinay Pratap Singh Chauhan
No, Pluto is not classified as a planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). In 2006, the IAU defined planets to have three main criteria: they must orbit the Sun, be spherical, and clear their path of other debris. Pluto fails to meet the last criterion.
