Why did scientists know about Ceres for so long before the other dwarf planets?

The answer to this question can be simplified because Ceres is much nearer than any other dwarf planet in our solar system. Ceres is in the Asteroid Belt which lies between Mars and Jupiter All the other known Dwarf Planets lie in the Kuyper Belt passed and beyond the reaches of Neptune's Orbit of the Sun. Ceres was then (1801) under mathematical scrutiny as to it's very existence and it's orbit was then unknown. Ceres is only 580 miles across but from earth would be much larger visually from a reasonable telescope than say Pluto or any other of the Dwarf planets in the Kuyper Belt. Ceres is the first ever asteroid to be discovered

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.


How long would it take to get to the dwarf planet Ceres?

Ceres is the largest of the asteroids, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Originally, astronomers thought it was the "missing planet" between Mars and Jupiter, but more observations revealed that there were a great many objects in that region. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union defined a "planet" for the first time, and came up with a definition of "dwarf planet" that included Pluto and Ceres. With conventional rocket engines, it would take about 3 years to reach Ceres.

What is the largest asteroid in the Asteroid Belt?

The largest body in the asteroid belt is Ceres, with a diameter of about 950 km. Although it has long been considered to be an asteroid, Ceres was classified as a "dwarf planet" on August 24, 2006. (The other dwarf planets are Pluto, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris.) The issue of whether Ceres remains an asteroid was not addressed at that time.
