Pluto is not classed as a planet now, just as a "dwarf planet". In its size it rates as smaller than any of the 8 planets in the solar system.
The terms "outer planet" and "inner planet" are only used for planets. Pluto is not a planet, and it orbits beyond the outer planets.
outer . because it is outer space. Pluto is the former nineth (and furthest from the sun) planet in the solar system. It was recently demoted to dwarf planet and is the most know object in the Kuiper Belt.
As of 2006 Pluto is no longer considered a planet. Prior to that it was counted as the least massive planet in the solar system.
Neptune is the planet that takes the longest time to orbit our sun, in terms of time taken and distance. Pluto and some other dwarf planets take longer, but these are not considered to be one of the eight major planets in our solar system.
Pluto was considered a planet but now has been disqualified as a planet. it is now called a dwarf planet. it is present in the kuiper belt beyond the orbit of Uranus and the chances of finding a ninth planet has almost been ruled out as the planets discovered beyond the orbit of pluto are dwarf planets and are smaller than the one before them.
The terms "outer planet" and "inner planet" are only used for planets. Pluto is not a planet, and it orbits beyond the outer planets.
Pluto is smaller than the eight major planets. It is the second-largest "dwarf planet" in the solar system (only Eris appears to be larger).
In terms of its physical characteristics, Pluto is relatively small and has a lower gravitational pull compared to the planets in our solar system. Therefore, it could be considered "weak" in that sense. However, Pluto's status as a planet or dwarf planet is not based on its strength but rather on its orbit around the Sun and other criteria defined by the International Astronomical Union.
Saturn in terms of planets. The order of the planets, from the sun outward, goes: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, {Asteroid Belt}, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto( Not classified as a planet anymore)
it is small, even smaller than our moon
Because both of them not meet the terms to considered as a planet. The technical reason given is: They have not cleared the regions of their orbits of other objects. Unfortunately that's not a nice simple reason. Pluto was only redefined from planet to "dwarf planet" in the year 2006. The problem was that astronomers kept finding new objects in this part of space.

It is the third largest planet in our Solar system.
There are three other planets smaller than the Earth; Mercury (smallest), Mars, and Venus (nearly the same size as Earth).Eris, Ceres, Haumea, and Makemake are all dwarf planets, smaller than our moon. Pluto and Charon are also dwarf planets, even though they have moons.
