The International Astronomical Union decides rules to call a particular celestial body a body or not.
For a celestial body to be called as a planet, it has to follow these three rules
- A planet must be round.
- A planet must orbit the sun.
- A planet must have “cleared the neighborhood" of its orbit.
It does not follow the third rule so it is called as a dwarf planet and not a planet
So, Pluto not considered a planet of our solar system after August 2006
