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.
No longer a planet, Pluto is just a member of the Kuiper Belt; a collection of icy objects that extend out past the orbit of Neptune.If you brought Pluto into the inner Solar System, it would start to act like a comet â blasting out gas and particles from the solar wind.ut NASAâs New Horizons spacecraft is making the journey to Pluto, and will make a flyby in 2015. At that point, it will fly within 10,000 km of Plutoâs surface and send back images that show features as small as 1.6 km across.
