What is the similarities between a planet or an asteroid?
Ceres has a diameter of 950 km. and a mass of -.95. the closest measurement of the dwarf planets that is closest to Ceres is Pluto. Pluto has a diameter of 2,340 km. and a mass of 13.05. The surface temperature on Ceres is 167 degrees, and Ceres has no atmosphere. Ceres goes in the water frost categorie of planets.
Which planets are dwarf planets?
The current list of "dwarf planets" (round bodies that orbit the Sun independently) includes, in order of their orbital distance :Ceres (950 km in diameter and 1/3 of the total mass of the asteroid belt)Pluto (2390 km in diameter and formerly the 9th solar planet)Haumea (ellipsoid Kuiper Belt object about 1/3 Pluto's mass)Makemake (about 1800 km in diameter and a bit farther out than Haumea)Eris (at 2500 km in diameter and 1.27 the mass of Pluto, the largest discovered Kuiper object. With Dysnomia, its moon, it orbits the Sun once in 557 years.)Candidates for dwarf planet status include Sedna, pending verification of its mass and shape. (Sedna's closest approach to the Sun is barely within the Kuiper Belt, and its orbit may extend to nearly 1000 AU, into the Oort Cloud of comets.) Other Kuiper Belt bodies include Quaoar, Orcus, and Varuna. Pluto's moon Charon, and the large asteroids Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea are also listed as potential candidates for dwarf planet status.The Four dwaf plants are PLui
What is the difference between a dwarf planet and planet?
A PLUTOIDS is a dwarf planets with an orbit outside that of Neptune.Plutiods are sometimes referred to as "ice dwarfs" due to their diminutive size and cold surface temperatures.The outer planets show evidence of interaction with plutoids. While dwarf planets, there are potentially hundreds of plutoid objects in the solar system that has yet to be given official. Dwarf planet are aloso objects in the solar system which orbit the sun.
Do all planets orbit around their self?
All planets orbit around the greatest centre of mass. In our solar system, that is our Sun.
Why do dwarf planets keep appearing?
The number of dwarf planets changes constantly because astronomers are finding and classifying new dwarf planets. As of June 2014, there are 10 known dwarf planets plus many others that may be classified as dwarf planets.
Three dwarf planets?
The solar system has three classified dwarf planets. They are Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. A dwarf planet has sufficient mass, has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is in orbit around a star.
Are dwarf planets and minor planets the samet hing?
Dwarf planets are celestial bodies that have enough mass to have a gravitational pull by the sun, but they are not large enough to be considered a regular planet. They are also too big to be satellites. Minor planets are in direct orbit with the sun. They are not dominant planets, and they are not comets. This qualifies all dwarf planets as minor planets. So, to answer your question, not exactly. All dwarf planets are minor planets. But not all minor planets are dwarf planets. Hope this helps you!!

Which planet is smaller tha Ganymede?
Mercury is smaller in diameter, but not in mass. If you include dwarf planets, than it is also larger in diameter than Eris and Pluto, however once again it is smaller in mass.

Do the dwarf planets have moons?
Yes, for example Pluto is a dwarf planet and it has three moons. Eris also has a moon.Yes of the 5 named dwarf planets :-Pluto has 3 called Charon its largest then Nix and HydraEris has 1 called DysnomiaHaumea has 2 called Hi`ika and NamakaOnly MakeMake and Ceres have no moons

What is the diameter of a dwarf star?
Blue dwarf diameter(sun=1)=4 times the sun's Blue dwarf mass(sun=1)=10 times sun's
What is the movement of earth and the other eight planets around the sun?
The most common type of orbit is a circle but depending on the size, mass, density of that planet and the orbit of others but the orbit so far found by Astromoners and Scientists alike are all circle based.In there title don't you mean What is the movement of earth and the other eight seven planets and many dwarf planets around the sun?

What are the dwarf planets made of?
Pluto is made of mainly Nitrogen and Methane, and its atmosphere consists of Nitrogen, some methane, carbon monoxide, and ethane. Pluto's surface temperature is about 44 degrees Kelvin. Pluto's diameter is about 2,340 km or 1,454 miles.Dwarf planets are made up of the same things as other planets except they are smaller.
