No, it is a dwarf planet. Uh.....the question was about Pluto's position in the solar system, not Pluto's size. Pluto was thought to be the ninth planet when discovered in the 1930's, but we now know that Pluto is not a planet. When it was still considered a planet, it was one of the outer planets, about as far as you can get. Mercury, Venus, Terra (earth), and Mars are the inner planets; those with orbits between the Belt and Sol (the asteroid belt and the sun).

the inner planet are alike because they are closer to the sun than the outer planets. Another way they are alike is because they all dont have any rings.

Like the inner planets, Pluto has a solid surface and is much smaller than the outer giant planets.

Pluto's orbit is tilted more than the other planets' orbits, which takes Pluto further north and south of the Earth's orbital plane.

They are similar in that both the inner and outer planets all orbit the sun.

No, in fact the dwarf planets are not traditionally categorized as inner or outer. If we did include dwarf planets, Pluto would be considered an outer dwarf Planet.
