What must a planet have which a dwarf planet doesn't?
A planet: 1) Orbits the Sun or some other star 2) Gravity has to shape it into a sphere & 3) Have an orbit that does NOT link up to another planet's orbit A dwarf planet is classified if it does not have one of these 3 things. Reason 3 (like most other dwarf planets in our Solar System) is what makes Pluto a dwarf planet (since some of it's orbit links up to Neptune's orbit)
