Pluto isn't a planet and it makes an oval orbit

To shed some light on that answer, Pluto is not a planet for Scientists consider its size closer to the dwarf planets orbiting in the asteroid belt. It does NOT make an "oval" orbit and i believe the person is referring to the Ellipse orbits that EVERY planet takes.

So technically, Pluto isnt considered a planet only because of its size (plus maybe some other factors) NOT its orbital behavior.
