Assuming you're talking about Pluto being 'demoted' from planet status... Scientists have decided (after much deliberation and calculations) - that Pluto actually belongs to the Kuiper belt - a ring-shaped area of objects that orbits our Sun beyond the rest of he solar system.

Whilst Pluto does indeed orbit our Sun along with the rest of the planets in our solar system, It is far too close to the Kuiper belt to have an 'exclusive' orbit. Additionally - there are other objects in the Kuiper belt that have a greater mass than Pluto.

As a planet, I assume. This should have happened quite a while ago; it turns out that Pluto is much smaller than initially believed. (However, the current official definition of a planet is not directly related to its size or mass.)

Why Pluto is not your planet anymore?

In 2006 the International Astronomical Union redefined planets and thereby disqualified Pluto under one of the criteria. A planet has to evidence hydrostatic equilibrium - basically, be large enough or have enough gravity to form into a spheroidal shape; it has to be in orbit around the Sun (and not for example, another planet), and it has to have cleared a significant fraction of its orbit - which Pluto has not. Hence it was demoted to a minor or dwarf planet (specifically, a Plutino).
