Pluto has been downgraded to dwarf planet. It is still a planet but it is not a planet on the same levels as Mars or Earth, for example.

Why is Pluto no longer considered to be a major planet?

The word "planet" has been divided into two newer concepts: major planets and dwarf planets.The definition of major planet excludes Pluto because a major planet must have cleared its orbit of asteroids, comets, and other debris. Pluto is a part of the Kuiper belt, and has not absorbed most of the cometary bodies into itself, or captured them as satellites. Pluto is therefore a dwarf planet.The rules of a planet are:It orbits a star or the remnants of a starIt is large enough for gravity to squash it into a sphere-like shapeIt must have cleared its orbitPluto's orbit has many icy bodies in its path, most of them in the Kuiper Belt where Pluto spends most of its time.The definition of planet was changed in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). As a dwarf planet Pluto is in the same category as Eris (which is bigger than Pluto), Ceres (king of the asteroids), and possibly other bodies being discovered in the Kuiper Belt.


Is a planet bigger than the moon?

Maybe it would have been bigger than Pluto, but that is not a planet anymore so I pretty sure No.More InformationOur moon is much smaller than any planet in our solar system. Earth's moon has about 1/50th the volume of Earth. The smallest planet in our solar system, Mercury, has nearly three times the volume and roughly 4 1/2 times the mass of our moon.
