An inner planet is a planet that orbits closer to the sun than the asteroid belt. A dwarf planet is an object that has not met all the criteria to be classified as a planet. Namely, a dwarf planet is not the dominant object along its own orbital path, but shares the region with numerous other objects.

How are the inner planets similar to dwarf planets?
