I heard that Pluto, which was once considered a planet in our solar system, was removed from the list of planets. I want to know the reason behind this decision.

As a result of this, the IAU downgraded Pluto's status to that of a dwarf planet.

The reason behind this decision was that Pluto did not meet all the criteria set by the IAU to be considered a full-sized planet.
