How large is Pluto compared to other planets?
The volume of Pluto is 7.5 x 109 km3 or 0.0066 Earths... it would take 151.5 Pluto's to make up the volume of the Earth. Also, the diameter of the earth is 12,756 km and pluto's diameter is 2,296 km, meaning that it would take 5.55 plutos to equal the diameter of the earth.

Why Pluto no more left in your solar system?
Pluto is still in our solar system - it only got 'demoted' from true planet to dwarf (or minor) planet. After we discovered a bunch of new object something like Pluto, we had to decide if they would all be called planets, or we came up with a consistent definition which excluded them. The IAU decided in 2006 to reclassify - such that we have only 8 true planets. But Pluto is not forgotten.
Why was Pluto not a gas giant?
Interesting question. You are wondering why an object as small as Pluto would show up in the part of the solar system where you would expect gas giants. Clearly, Pluto has a much different origin from the planets it hangs out with. Pluto is a Kuyper object, meaning that it is from the Kuyper belt, a gigantic field of asteroids beyond the orbit of Neptune. This is one of the reasons that its place on the list of major planets was questioned.
