Wait, Pluto is this small? Yeah no, that's not a planet then.

The way nasa puts it in layman is if Earth was a nickel, Pluto would be about the size of a popcorn kernel. So not quite as small as this picture makes it seem, but still tiny compared to the other planets.

I like Pluto though, let the little guy play planet.

Just compared the diameters of the planets and set up my own scale image. It's around there.
