the phrase ''Cleared the neighborhood around its orbit'' is part of the defentition of a planet, and means that it has to be big enough, and have enough gravity to get rid of any object in its orbit around a star or sun.

What does it mean to say that a dwarf planet neighborhood has not been cleared out?

When it is said that a dwarf planet neighborhood has not been cleared out, it means that there are still other small celestial bodies present in the region. According to the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) definition, for a celestial body to be considered a dwarf planet, it must orbit the Sun and have sufficient mass to assume a nearly round shape. However, it does not have to "clear its neighborhood" of other objects, which means that there can still be other similar-sized objects in its vicinity.
