No. Ceres is single object, not a class of objects. Ceres was long called the largest asteroid in the solar system, but it has since been reclassified as a dwarf planet.
What is an object that is between Mars and Jupiter?
Any one of the several million asteroids, including Ceres, which was recently reclassified as a minor planet.
What is Ceres classified as?
It was once considered the fifth planet, then it was changed to asteroid, and is currently (since 2006) considered a dwarf planet (the smallest one yet, only 590 miles, or 950 km, in diameter)Hope that helped:)
5 intresting facts about ceres?
Ceres was discovered on January 1 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi.It is the smallest dwarf planet.It is the only dwarf planet in the Asteroid belt.It is named after the Roman goddess Ceres, the goddess of growing plants, harvest, and motherly love.It is too small to see with the naked eye.The NASA Dawn space probe will explore Ceres in 2015.See related link for more information
What dwarf planet was considered an asteroid?
Ceres is a dwarf planet and it is registered in the minor planet center as asteroid number 1. However, it is a dwarf planet not an asteroid. Asteroids and comets are similar bodies that do not have hydrostatic equilibrium and are relatively small. Recent rulings by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) have reclassified it and justly so (though I personally don't believe dwarf planets and normal terrestrial planets are as different as they contend).

What is Ceres's manetic field like?
We dont know yet what like the magnetic field of the dwarf planet 1 Ceres is. No space probe had yet visited Ceres. But that will change in 2015 when the NASA:s Dawn probe will settle to orbit around Ceres. Dawn will reveal do Ceres have a magnetic field or not. Before the probe reaches Ceres it will orbit another minor planet the asteroid 4 Vesta for nine months from August 2011 until May 2012. If Vesta has a magnetic field Dawn will discover it too. Vesta is the second most massive main-belt asteroid. Only Ceres is more massive. Vesta may also be reclassified as a dwarf planet like Ceres rather than staying just as a small solar system body like smaller minor planets.
