In 2006, pluto's classification was changed to "dwarf planet". This removed it as one of the nine planets in our solar system. It was done so by the IAU (international astronomical union). The main reason for this is due to the orbital path of Pluto as it crosses Neptune's and thus does not fit the IAU's definition of a "planet".
