The 2006 (re)definition of a planet includes three criteria - 1) it is in orbit around the Sun, 2) it's achieved hydrostatic equilibrium (characterized by sufficient mass to have a rounded shape), 3) it has cleared the area around it orbit. Under this last criteria, Pluto, formerly considered a planet, is now classified as a dwarf planet as it has only cleared a tiny fraction of its orbit.
