Oh honey, let me spill the tea for you. Pluto got the boot because scientists realized it hadn't cleared its orbit of other debris, one of the requirements to be a full-fledged planet. So, poor Pluto got demoted to a dwarf planet – it's like being seated at the kiddie table during Thanksgiving dinner.
