Pluto is not a Planet anymore.

Explanation:

According to the new definition of a planet, Pluto fails on keeping its own orbit clean from debris (it should have collected that).

Besides:

  • Pluto is small, very small, especially as compared to Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus and Neptune.
  • Pluto is not a gas-planet (as the ones mentioned)
  • It has an orbit that is both very eccentric, and tilts 17 degrees to
    the orbit of all other planets.
