While none of the objects currently recognized as dwarf planets are as massive as any of the true planets of the solar system, they are still massive objects with substantial gravity, strong enough to keep a moon or several in orbit.
no. a dwarf planet is a planet that doesnt have the characteristics for being a planet so its counted as a planet, a dwarf planet can have moons, such as Pluto has 3 moons, but a moon cant have a moon, so therefore dwarf planets and moons are diffrent.
Pluto is the dwarf planet that is smaller than the Earth's moon.
A dwarf planet is not considered a planet because it does not dominate its orbital path and cannot clear that path of debris.
No. Titan is a moon of Saturn.
no it's a dwarf planet I would think that it is a dwarf planet, but its moon, Sharon, is nearly as big as it, so some MAY argue that Sharon is a dwarf planet and Pluto is the moon, but considering Pluto is slightly bigger than Sharon, I would think that Sharon would orbit Pluto rather than Pluto orbiting Sharon.

Hiʻiaka is the larger, outer moon of the dwarf planet Haumea.It is NOT a dwarf planet.

Europa is a moon of Jupiter.
It was discovered in 1978. But it's not a dwarf planet. It's a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Generally, a dwarf planet orbits only the sun, whereas a moon orbits a planet, which in turn orbits a sun.
A planet is bigger than a dwarf planet and the Moon. A planet revolves around the Sun directly in its own orbit, but so does a dwarf planet. However, the planet is the dominant object in its orbital region. A dwarf planet is not the dominant object. That's the important difference.
The dwarf planet Pluto.
No, it is a dwarf planet.
Pluto isn't a moon, it orbits the sun, but it is a dwarf planet
No. Titan is a moon of Saturn.
