All About Pluto Pluto used to be the ninth planet in our Solar System. But, in 2006, scientists decided to make Pluto a dwarf planet. Poor Pluto! Pluto was discovered by an astronomer in 1930. The cartoon character, Pluto, was named after this planet by Walt Disney. Dwarf Planets A Dwarf Planet is an object that revolves around the sun on its orbit. Pluto and Eris are the biggest Dwarf Planets. Cool Stars!! Dwarf Planets are too small to be considered planets. Scientists believe that 200 Dwarf Planets exist. Pluto and Neptune Pluto and Neptune switch orbits. Pluto is usually the farthest planet from the Sun, however its orbit sometimes takes it inside Neptune's orbit. From 1979 until 1999 Neptune was the outermost planet. Now, however, Pluto is the outermost planet. The only problem is, that Pluto is no longer considered one of the nine planets. Poor Pluto!
