It is, isn't it? It's the smallest planet, on the outer edge, but it still orbits our sun, doesn't it?

It's still in our solar system, but it was demoted and is no longer counted as a planet - too small according to the new definition. The 'problem' was that there were a couple of other objects floating around of roughly the same size, which would otherwise have had to be named planets too.

According to new standards, a planet only has its own orbit. Pluto has been demoted because it shares a portion of its orbit with Neptune, and its overall size is too small.
