What else can I help you with?
Does Sedna also orbit around other dwarf planets?
No. Sedna orbits the sun.
What makes Sedna different from the other dwarf planets?
It is in between the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud
Is Pluto the only dwarf planet you know of?
There are several other dwarf planets in addition to Pluto. These include Eris, Sedna, Quaoar, Orcus, Makemake, Haumea, and the large asteroid Ceres.
What is Sedna made out of?
I honestly don't know for sure what Sedna was made out of. I know that dwarf planets are normally made out of rocky and maybe some icy things too. And as you know, Sedna is a dwarf planet. Iv'e always wondered. Maybe you could look up Sedna off of Wikipedia or you can watch on youtube "the mystery of Sedna." I love space. Hope this helps! ~Emily
How is Pluto different from other planets?
It is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets.
How are inner planets similar to dwarf planets?
The other planets are not similar to dwarf planets.
How many planets and dwarf planets are in the solar system?
There are 13 in total: Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea. It seems likely that several other large objects, such as Sedna, Qaoar and others, will eventually be recognized as dwarf planets. It also seems likely that more dwarf planets will be discovered.
What is the name of the new planets in the solar system?
All of the recent discoveries have been classified as "dwarf planets" (or almost certainly will be in the near future): Quaoar (2002) Sedna (2003) Orcus (2004) Haumea (2004) Eris (2005) Makemake (2005) 2007OR10 (a.k.a. "Snow White") (2007) The other known dwarf planets are Pluto and Ceres.
What two objcts join Pluto in its category?
There are more than two dwarf planets other than Pluto. Ceres, Eris, Sedna, and Qaoar are a few of the named ones, but there are dozens, if not hundreds, more of them.
Why is Pluto very different from the other planets?
Pluto is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets. It also has a very irregular orbit.
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.
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.
