About Pluto
At one time Pluto was the ninth planet in our solar system, that is until 2006. Scientists decided that Pluto was too small to be a planet, and was redesignated as a "dwarf planet," and is the largest body in the Kuiper Belt, which is a belt of asteroids that encircles the entire solar system. Pluto, depending on where it is in its orbit between 4.4 billion and 7.4 billion km from the sun.
About Planet X
Planet X is a theoretical planet thought to be beyond the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. Astronomers thought this planet could exist because of eccentricities in the orbits of the two ice giants. In the 1990s it was discovered the eccentricities were due to an over estimation of Neptune's mass. It is widely agreed that Planet X does not exist in our solar system.
