As of 2006, Pluto is classified as a "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). This change occurred because it did not meet all the criteria required to be considered a full planet, specifically that it has not cleared its orbit of other debris. This reclassification has sparked ongoing debate and interest in planetary science.
