Scientists believe that Ceres has a rocky core and an icy mantle
Ceres is not a gaseous planet. Ceres is not a planet, it is a dwarf planet. Ceres has a rocky surface.
Ceres has no atmosphere, no liquid water, and no life on its surface. Instead it is heavily cratered from impacts.

The surface pressure of Ceres is extremely low, estimated to be less than 1% of Earth's atmospheric pressure. This means that Ceres has a very thin and tenuous exosphere rather than a substantial atmosphere like Earth.
Yes. Surface gravity on Ceres is about 3% that of Earth.

Ceres has no atmosphere, no liquid water, and no life on its surface. Instead it is heavily cratered from impacts.
Yes, Ceres does rotate on its axis, completing one rotation approximately every 9 hours. This rotation causes Ceres to have a slight bulge at its equator and influences its surface features.
No one knows for sure, but most scientists believe Ceres barely has an atmosphere, if any. It has to be taken into consideration that Ceres only has about 4% of the gravity of Earth, so it must be very hard to keep an atmosphere.
Ceres consists of water frost and different hydrated minerals like carbonates and clays. Ceres was discovered by Guiseppe Piazza on January 1, 1801. Ceres may contain an ocean of liqiud water underneath its surface which makes it a potential target in the search for extraterrestrial life (life which doesn't originate from earth). Ceres appears to be differentiated into a rocky core and ice mantle.
The gravity of Ceres is 0.27 m/s² or 0.028 g
Yes, there is evidence that water ice exists on Ceres. Data from NASA's Dawn mission has shown bright spots on Ceres' surface that are believed to be reflections of sunlight off of water ice deposits. This suggests that there may be water below the surface as well.
