It was determined as recently as 2010 that Pluto does not qualify as a true planet due to its gaseous mass formation, illegitimate shape, and irregular orbit. We are back to eight planets until final confirmation of Planet X as the true ninth planet.

How does Pluto differ from planets?
Pluto is smaller than any of the eight planets. Also, it hasn't "cleared its surroundings" - I guess that basically this means that it is not the dominant object in the surroundings of its orbit.
Does Pluto have a different orbit?
Pluto's orbit is quite unusual. It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to complete one orbit around the Sun. Its orbit is also more oval-shaped, or elliptical, than those of the 8 major planets. That means that sometimes Pluto is a lot nearer to the Sun than at other times, At times Pluto's orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune.
Does Pluto orbit the sun?
Pluto, and all of the planets orbit the sun. Not the other way around.
5 fact about Pluto?
1. Pluto doesn't orbit the same way as the other planets in a horizontal orbit it has a diagonal orbit
Pluto's orbit around the Sun is very different than those of other planets. How is it different?
The minor planet Pluto has an orbit which is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic. It is also a highly eccentric ellipse, causing it sometimes to pass inside the orbit of Neptune.
