A minor planet like other asteroids. It is also a dwarf planet: a minor planrt that is massive enough to be round. 1 Ceres is a main-belt asteroid, a minor planet that orbits in the main-asteroid belt (the area between Mars and Jupiter). Unlike 1 Ceres the other dwarf planets like 134340 Pluto, 136108 Haumea, 136199 Eris and 136472 Makemake are trans-Neptunian objects (minor planets beyound the planet Neptune).

Ceres is between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The nearest planet to it depends on orbits of the other planets and where they are, but Ceres average orbital distance is closest to Mars average orbital distance.

No. The object known as Ceres has been known to astronomers since 1801. It was classified as a planet at first, but had been reclassified as an asteroid by the 1860s. In 2006 the International Astronomical Union met to come up with a formal definition for what qualified as a planet. The first definition they developed would have classified Ceres and a newly discovered object named Eris as planets. This definition was discarded in favor of a new one, which excluded Ceres, Eris, and Pluto as planets, classifying them as dwarf planets instead.
