Pluto Diameter is 2300 km That is Quite Big. So we cannot say it is a
astroid.
Correct. That is why it is called a Dwarf Planet.
Astroid has size of maximum 1-2 kms.
Asteroids have a roughly a maximum size of 400-800km. Any larger and
they become at least Dwarf Planets by definition.
[deleted] which revolves arround a star and has significant
gravity can be considered as a Planet.
Correct, if you properly define "significant gravity". See:
http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0608359
Astroids are so small that they do not have any gravity just like other
small objects on earth.
Wrong!
