Charon does not truly orbit Pluto. Rather, Charon's gravity moves Pluto enough that both objects orbit around their common center of mass, which is outside of Pluto. This led to suggestions that the Pluto-Charon system be classified as a binary or double planet.

How is Pluto differ from the outer planets?

Pluto isn't a planet and it makes an oval orbit To shed some light on that answer, Pluto is not a planet for Scientists consider its size closer to the dwarf planets orbiting in the asteroid belt. It does NOT make an "oval" orbit and i believe the person is referring to the Ellipse orbits that EVERY planet takes. So technically, Pluto isnt considered a planet only because of its size (plus maybe some other factors) NOT its orbital behavior.
