What is the smallest known dwarf planet?
Ceres is is the smallest of the five dwarf planets currently recognised. Its equatorial diameter is 974.6km and it is orbit around our sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What planet takes the longest to orbit the sun after neptune?
Of the 8 planets, Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total. There are Dwarf planets and other bodies yet to be confirmed as dwarf planets, which are further out from the sun than Neptune. Pluto in one such dwarf planet, which takes 248 years to complete one orbit. Eris is the furthest of the five dwarf planets though, this takes 557 years to make one orbit of our sun. There is also Sedna, not currently classed as a dwarf planet, but it is thought to be one by many. Sedna's furthest point in orbit away from sun) is estimated to be 960 astronomical units (32 times Neptune's distance), while its closest apprach is 76 astronomical units (AU). It is though to take around 11,400 years to make one orbit of our sun.
Where are most dwarf planets from?
Most of the dwarf planets are large Kuiper belt objects, bodies that are in a distant orbit around our sun, beyond Neptune's orbit.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
Do outer planets have dwarf planets?
No. Planets do not have dwarf planets. A planet-sized object orbiting a larger planet is a moon. Dwarf planets orbit the sun independent of other objects.

Are dwarf planets in orbit around the Sun?
Yes.

Three dwarf planets?
The solar system has three classified dwarf planets. They are Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. A dwarf planet has sufficient mass, has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is in orbit around a star.
Where are most dwarf planets from?
Most of the dwarf planets are large Kuiper belt objects, bodies that are in a distant orbit around our sun, beyond Neptune's orbit.
What makes a planet be classified as a dwarf planet instead of a moon?
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
Are there 8 planets and 3 dwarf planets?
Following the August 24, 2006 reclassification of Pluto as a "dwarf planet", there are 8 actual planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) and (as of January 2009) 5 dwarf planets (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris). As of January, 2009, the orbit of another dwarf candidate (Sedna) is still being verified.
What is sedna and how can be the scientist prove that sedna is a new planet or just the moon of Pluto?
Sedna is a dwarf planet. It is to far away to be one of plutos moons and is proved to orbit the sun
What do tiny planets orbit?
Like larger planets, dwarf planets also orbit the sun.
Do outer planets have dwarf planets?
No. Planets do not have dwarf planets. A planet-sized object orbiting a larger planet is a moon. Dwarf planets orbit the sun independent of other objects.
What is the farthes planet from the sun?
Currently, after Pluto was degraded to a dwarf planet. Neptune is the planet furthest away from the sun. about 30 AU away ( 1 Astronomical Unit equals Earths orbit around the sun). when it comes to dwarf planets however. there is a newly discovered one called Sedna. it has a very ecliptic orbit, but it is believed that at its furthest it will be over 900 AU away from the sun.
