Pluto has recently been changed from a ______ to a ________, more commonly called dwarf planet.
- Planet; star
- Planet; asteroid
- Planet; trans-neptunian object
- Star; planet
Correct Answer

A. Planet; trans-neptunian object

Explanation

Pluto has recently been changed from a planet to a trans-neptunian object, more commonly called a dwarf planet. This change occurred because the International Astronomical Union redefined the criteria for what qualifies as a planet, and Pluto no longer met those criteria. Instead, it was categorized as a trans-neptunian object, a term that refers to objects that orbit the Sun beyond Neptune's orbit. This reclassification was made to better understand and categorize the various celestial bodies in our solar system.
