They are about 93 million miles from the Sun. That's how far the Earth is from the Sun and they are all here on the Earth.

You see, a "meteorite" is defined as a "meteoroid" that's landed on Earth from space.

You probably meant "meteoroid". These are closely associated with the asteroid belt, but their distances from the Sun vary a lot.

most meteoroids originate in the asteroid belt (but they can come from anywhere, including the Oort Cloud which is well beyond Pluto) and follow extremely elliptical orbits that can carry them in closer than the orbit of Mercury then back out to where they came fromall meteors are inside the Earth's atmosphere (for a few seconds to minutes, from when a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, becoming a meteor until it either burns up or hits the surface, becoming a meteorite) and are thus as far from the Sun as the Earth isall meteorites landed on the Earth and are thus as far from the Sun as the Earth is

Are there any meteorites on Neptune?

Is Pluto the only dwarf planet that orbits the Sun?

As far as we can actually PROVE, it is the only dwarf planet that orbits our own Sun. However, there has long been some speculation that there may be another dwarf planet out beyond Pluto, that is even smaller, but which is too far away from the Sun to be seen with optical instruments. It has also been debated that some large meteorites that orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planets, should maybe be declared as being dwarf planets in their own right.
