IAU decided this because it shrinks every 10 seconds
In 2006 the IAU agreed that Pluto was a dwarf planet. Although, many people were against the idea of identifying Pluto as a dwarf planet.
No. Most follow the new IAU definition of a planet which excludes Pluto.
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".
Pluto was categorized as a dwarf planet on August 24, 2006, when the IAU defined what a "planet" is in such a way as to no longer include Pluto. Before then, and since 1930, Pluto was considered a planet.
According to those who do not accept the IAU's judgement on such matters - and no one is required to - Pluto. While Pluto was declared by the IAU to no longer be a planet, many disagreed. They had - and have - that right.
