It doesn't meet the third rule set up by the International Astronomical Union. Here are the three rules they've determined are the criteria for designation as a planet:

  • A planet must be round.
  • A planet must orbit the sun.
  • A planet must have “cleared the neighborhood" of its orbit. This means that as a planet travels, its gravity sweeps and clears the space around it of other objects. Some of the objects may crash into the planet, others may become moons.

Oops, forgot the last part of your question. It's now considered to be a "dwarf planet" as it still meets the first two criteria.

Oh... so Pluto isn't a planet because it can't keep the riff raff out of its neighborhood lol.
