Explanation:

Pluto is not a Planet because

Pluto is a relatively round body, and also orbits the sun, but crossing Neptune's orbit! Not very planet friendly! Being so small, it cannot clear its path and hence has a very busy neighborhood, thereby violating the definition of a planet.

Hope it helps :)
