Earth is classified as a planet because it orbits the sun, has enough mass to form a roughly spherical shape, and has cleared its orbit of other debris. Pluto, on the other hand, does not meet the definition of a planet because it has not cleared its orbit and is part of a region with other similar sized objects called the Kuiper Belt.
