What does Pluto do that no other planet does?
First of all, it's a dwarf planet: A celestial body orbiting the Sun that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but which has not cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals and is not a satellite. (Wikipedia) It has a greater semimajor axis (39.54 AU), is more steeply inclined to the ecliptic (17.15 degrees), and has a greater eccentricity (0.250) than that of any of the planets. In fact, Pluto's noncircular orbit sometimes takes it nearer the Sun than Neptune. ("Universe: The Solar System" Third Edition, Freedman and Kaufmann.)

A planet is a?
A planet is a celestial body that orbits a star, is massive enough for its gravity to shape into a spherical or nearly spherical shape, and has cleared its orbit of other debris or objects. In our solar system, planets like Earth, Mars, and Jupiter orbit the Sun.
