Pluto is smaller than was originally believed - while it was still considered a planet, it was the smallest of them.But what ultimately put it in a separate category was the decision, by the IAU, to classify a planet as an object which - apart from having a round shape - has "cleared its surroundings", which basically means it is the gravitationally dominant object in the surroundings of its object.
