Hit up the Sol system and check the planets...
They skip over Ceres in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but there on the outer edge...
Pluto is a planet again!
If you have a hard time remembering where the asteroid belt is, there is also a mnemnonic for that...

Pluto was made a dwarf planet again a few years ago.
It's been classed as a dwarf planet since the IAU defined what a planet was in 2006. Its status has not changed since.
We still have an OG Solar Quest (monopoly in space, sort of. It’s got some actual strategy,) that has plutonas a planet. I was pissed when the new board removed it.
Incidentally, pretty sure the loot-trash board games are a reference to it.
That's the thing though, the other dwarf planets aren't listed, Pluto is, and it has an orbit trajectory like the other planets.
