How are the inner planets similar to dwarf planets?

Inner planets and dwarf planets are similar in that they both orbit around the sun, have a solid surface, and are relatively small compared to gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. However, inner planets typically have a more defined orbit and are part of the traditional eight planets in our solar system, while dwarf planets are smaller bodies that have not cleared their orbits of other debris and therefore have a different classification.
