Is Pluto a planet? Does it qualify? For an object to be a planet, it needs to meet these three requirements defined by the IAU:

•It needs to be in orbit around the Sun – Yes, so maybe Pluto is a planet.

•It needs to have enough gravity to pull itself into a spherical shape – Pluto…check

•It needs to have “cleared the neighborhood” of its orbit – Uh oh. Here’s the rule breaker. According to this, Pluto is not a planet.

I didn’t go to your list know as Pluto is still officially classified as a planet.
