Answer:

No, pluto used to be considered a planet but now it is considered a dwarf planet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pluto was founded in 1930, and was added to be one of the planets. After Eris was discovered, scientists had to make up a decision. Whether Eris was going to be the 10th planet in the solar system or not. Since Eris was similar to Pluto, they started to question whether Pluto was even considered a planet. Scientists then made up rules that would determine if something was a planet or not. A new category was created, dwarf planets.
