what is controversy of PLuto's status as a planet


Here are a couple:

It has a much more eccentric and tilted orbit than any of the other planets. Its orbit is tilted at an angle to the plane of the orbits of the other planets.

It’s smaller than some of the planetary moons in our solar system, including our own moon I think.

It does not dominate its own orbit.
