NINE PLANETS ORBIT THE SUN
Science classes said our solar system has nine planets, but in 2006, tiny, distant, and icy Pluto was reclassified and lost its planetary status. It is now classified as a dwarf planet — just the biggest object in a huge belt of rocks circling the farthest fringes of the solar system. Don’t get too used to the classification, though. Some astronomers want to reclassify Pluto again, back to full “planet” status.
