You don't know what Pluto is. Pluto is an asteroïd, and its an ice dwarf same with the moon Charon.

Pluto is actually a dwarf planet because its too small to be a planet and it crosses neptunes orbit. The planetary rules say that a planet must have its own orbit but you can call it a distant asteroid.

NOOB.
Pluto is a star, actually. A star that is "burnt out"

Wrong, stars actually have no solid mass and it were to have burned out, the gases would have collapsed and condensed together forming a very dense ball of matter called a black hole, i am an amateur astronomer.
pluto is actually believed to be something called a planetismal, many pieces of matter bound together by gravity forming a large chunk of matter, sort of like an asteroid. although it is not considered a planet now, planetismals often (but it wont hapen in our lifetime, or anyone you meets lifetime) grow into planets through a process called concentric layer where more and more masses build up and cause the planetismal to grow. this is not to say that pluto will become a planet for sure because it may slowly break up after colliding with large masses.

Actualy all stars do not have to form a black hole. Some stars like our own do not have a big enough mass/ and or are to small and will not form black holes but will simply condense into a very small but dense white dwarf. Amateur...
And by the way, why does this map have a huge picture of the Andromeda Galaxy in the sky? It is literally light years away, it appears to be a bright star in the night sky, not a huge full picture.

oasis you are right, but we are both right in saying that pluto is not a star haha
