Dwarf planets are not a special type of planet. A small planet is later classified a dwarf planet. The only characteristic that makes it a dwarf planet is the size. Your question should be why are some planets small?
the planet is one of the gases planet.. and the dwarf planets are small planets..
If we are talking about regular planets then it's Neptune. If we are including dwarf planets then Eris.
It depends if you count all planets, or just dwarf planets:On the list of all 13 planets including dwarf planets, pluto is the 10th from the sun.If you only count only the 5 dwarf planets, it is the second dwarf planet from the sun (the first is Ceres).
8 planets and 5 dwarf planets, so 13 in total. There are some additional dwarf planet candidates that have not been officially categorised yet.
Well, Pluto isn't recognized as a planet, but as a dwarf planet. Also, there are other dwarf planets, but they are more like really big comets than they are 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.
dwarf planets are called dwarf planets because they are too small to be classified as an actual planet. Pluto is a dwarf planet as well as Xena and Ceres. Which you probably do not know of because we do not study them as main planets in our solar system.
