Both planets and dwarf planets are in "hydrostatic equilibrium", which basically means that they are big enough, massive enough, and have enough gravity, to have a shape that is basically a sphere (or an ellipsoid, if the planet rotates rapidly, as is the case with Jupiter and Saturn).

∙ 6y agoSimilarities: Both are in "hydrostatic equilibrium", which basically means they are round.Differences: The main difference is that a dwarf planet hasn't "cleared its surroundings", meaning it isn't the dominating object close to its own orbit.

Similar:
they rotate, orbit, can be round, can have a thin atmosphere like pluto, many of them have moons.
Difference:
very week gravity, can't support life, dont have an orbital path free of asteroids.

∙ 12y agoi .The difference is they are much much smaller.
ii. The similarity is that they have moons.

How are the inner planets similar to dwarf planets?
The other planets are not similar to dwarf planets.
What is the name of our dwarf planets?
our dwarf planets are Pluto
How do you compare dwarf planets from regular planets?
dwarf planets are smaller than regular planets
What can planets do that dwarf planets cannot do?
Actually Dwarf planets are planets which are very small in size and cannot be called planets but not as small to be called asteroids, so the name dwarf planets.
What planets have the same size as each other?
yes there is 2 planets but there are also dwarf ones too.

What is the circumference of all the dwarf planets?
i now the radius of the dwarf planets
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.
Is the planet Eris the same as the planet Haumea?
No, they are two different "dwarf Planets".
What is the different between ordinary planets and dwarf planets?
ordinary planets are a big part of the solar system dwarf planets aren't that important they are considered like stars or asteroids but mainly dwarf planets
Are the out planets the same as the inner planets?
No. All of the outer planets, (unincluding the dwarf planet Pluto) are all made of gas, and far larger than the inner planets.
What is Pluto Eris and Makemake?
Dwarf Planets. The five dwarf planets (as of 2017) are:CeresPlutoHaumeaMakemakeEris
