About this document
Pluto: Dwarf Planet Overview and History by Nhiel Yoyotea is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Pluto, a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, was discovered in 1930 and initially classified as the ninth planet from the Sun. Its planetary status was questioned in the 1990s due to the discovery of similar-sized objects, leading to its reclassification as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2006. Pluto has five known moons, including Charon, and was explored by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2015.
