I would say Pluto should NOT be considered a planet.

My reasoning is based mostly on the orbiting path it takes around our Sun (A Star).

The orbit is extremely elliptical: That alone does not disqualify it but looking at it closely you notice it doesn't rotate on the same plan as the other planets (not even close). I mean it stands out if you track it around the Sun. But the kicker in my opinion is the fact from time to time Pluto crosses the orbital path of Neptune. That means Pluto actually get closer to the Sun that Neptune.

I would classify Pluto as a asteroid. I suspect as we are able to explore more of the other reached of our solar system we will find many similar sized objects orbiting that regine. Some might actually be larger than Pluto but I'm sure there are smaller ones out there too with a greater abundance.

Just for Kicks look up this Eris.

I would like to think of pluto as a regular planet still but scientists didnt just all of a sudden decide this. the equipment used back then when founded couldnt observe it much as they can now. plus it still has the title of planet. dwarf planet. yes it has a moon charon but it is more than half the size of it. and the rotation between the two is the kinda rotate around a center point b/t them. just because tilt in its axis around the sun doesnt mean anything. its size. jupiter has moons bigger than pluto. actually bigger than mercury. but because they rotate around jupiter they are moons. I don't know just rambling on but yeah.

I don't think so unless you want to call it a dwarf planet
