✿ Why Pluto was removed from the lost of planets ?

-- The international convention of International Union of Astronomers [ IUA ] held on 2006 in Prague of Czech Republic has removed the Pluto from the list of planets and introduced a new term , Dwarf planet for it. A new definition of the planet is also given by the convention. According to it :

  • A planet should have its own round orbit [ elliptical ] around the sun.
  • It's shape must be round.
  • It must have a fixed neighborhood with other planets.

The Pluto fails to fulfill the last statement due to which it is kept in the category of Dwarf planet. Makemake , Haumea Ceres and the latest member of Solar system Eris were also kept under this category.
