Pluto is not classed as a planet because it is too small
No, Pluto is no longer classified as a planet. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union redefined what constitutes a planet and Pluto failed to meet one of the criteria, which is to clear its orbit of other debris. As a result, it was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
As of 2013, Pluto has been classed as a dwarf planet for 7 years.
That is ERIS.Now it's classed as a dwarf planet, like Pluto. So, there are now just 8 planets.
