No, for a variety of reasons.
1) because the size of pluto is actually smaller than the previously-known smallest planet in the solar system, Mercury.
2) because Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but is now considered to be the largest known asteroid in the Kuiper Asteroid belt, and orbits the sun in roughly the same orbit as more than two thousand smaller pieces of rock or ice or whatever it happens to be.

Pluto is now a dwarf planet, not a true planet. It's gotten this way because it is in the Kuiper Belt and they have found objects that were bigger than it, so it can't be considered a true planet. It was also one of the smallest planets in the system before it's change in status.

Pluto is not even considered a planet anymore. Even if it was, it would be one of the smallest. Jupiter is the largest.

Jupiter is the largest
And Pluto is no longer a planet, it has been demoted to a dwarf planet. So now Mercury is the smallest

Pluto orbits beyond the orbit of Neptune (usually). It is much smaller than any of the official planets and now classified as a "dwarf planet". Pluto is smaller than seven of the solar system's moons (the Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Triton).
orbit: 5,913,520,000 km (39.5 AU) from the Sun (average)
diameter: 2274 km
mass: 1.27e22 kg
