Why do peoplel say Pluto isn't planet?
Pluto is not considered a planet anymore mainly due to its size, orbit, and its location in the atmosphere. As telescopes got more advanced, scientists started to see many more objects in our solar system that resembled Pluto. Pluto is one of the smallest objects (not including asteriods or comets) in the solar system, its orbit is not like the rest of the planets (it orbits more like the asteriods in the outer belt), and Pluto is located in the outer-belt, which means it has not "cleared its pathway".
