ELI5: If Pluto is not a planet because it "has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects”, how can Earth, Juptier, Saturn, etc be considered a planet?

 Pluto is not a planet because it only meets two of the three IAU criteria to be considered a planet.  

I'm not clear on the interpretation of "having to clear its neighboring region of other objects”. Earth has a moon. Is that not considered an object in a neighboring region?

Jupiter has tons of moons.

Saturn has an entire ring. 

Can someone ELI5 how it works?

“Cleared the neighborhood” means that the “planet” has to be the dominant gravitational body in their orbit around the sun.  This means that the “planet” has to cruise its orbit while consuming or slinging away smaller objects in its orbital path.  Pluto is only .007 times the mass of the other objects in its orbit.  Earth, in contrast, has 1.7 million times the mass of the other objects in its orbit.  Pluto simply isn’t big enough to “clear its neighborhood” properly.
