Solution

The planet which was declared a Dwarf Planet in 2006 is Pluto. It used to be considered the ninth planet of the Solar System until 2006, when it was reclassified by the International Astronomical Union as a Dwarf Planet because it did not meet one of the criteria for being a planet, specifically, it had not cleared its orbital neighborhood of other debris.
