Why was Pluto no longer considered a planet?

Discovered 80 years ago, Pluto was considered the last planet in the solar system until 2006. On that date, the International Astronomical Union defined new rules for the classification of planets: the body must be spherical; rotate around the Sun; and have free orbit, with no other objects in its path.

Pluto is in a region of various objects, called the Kuiper Belt, so it lost planet status.
