Why did NASA say Pluto is not a planet?
Can you explain why NASA has made the controversial decision to downgrade Pluto's status from a planet to a dwarf planet? What scientific reasoning lies behind this change in classification? Was it due to Pluto's small size or its elliptical orbit, or perhaps some other factors? How does this decision impact our understanding of the solar system and the definition of what constitutes a planet?
