Pluto was redefined as a “dwarf planet” by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006, which led to its classification change. Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. The international
B. Astronomical Union
C. A team of
D. Scientists met
E. In Prague, Czech
F. Republic
G. 2006
This decision was based on new criteria that planet classifications must meet, which Pluto did not satisfy. It is now classified as a dwarf planet primarily due to its inability to clear its orbit of other debris, a key requirement for being considered a full planet.
