Answer:

Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit

Step-by-step explanation:

It orbits in a disc-like zone beyond the orbit of Neptune called the Kuiper belt, a distant region populated with frozen bodies left over from the solar system's formation.
