Pluto is currently classified as a "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) since 2006. This classification is due to its inability to clear its orbital neighborhood of other debris, which is one of the criteria for full planet status. Additionally, while it orbits the Sun and has enough mass to assume a nearly round shape, its smaller size and unique characteristics differentiate it from the eight major planets.
