because dwarf means tiny
Rockey and hotter .1. These planets have gaseous atmospheres.2. The inner planets all have one moon each.3. These terrestrial planets have surfaces that are rocky hard.4. The inner planets were formed differently than the outer planets.Those are the choices.. Thankks for your help, if you decide to help.
When they discovered pluto did not follow the full criteria to be considered a planet. They needed a different scientific term to describe “planets” like pluto.
They agreed a new definition of a planets and created "dwarf planets" as a separate type of object. Pluto qualified only as a "dwarf planet", because it is not the dominant object in the neighbourhood of its orbit.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is the organization responsible for officially classifying celestial bodies, including planets. They determine the criteria that define what constitutes a planet and ultimately decide on the status of objects in our solar system.
It really depends on the terminology used. According to the Wikipedia, "The term "asteroid" is ill-defined. It never had a formal definition, ..."If you decide to include the dwarf planets, that would be Eris.Note that there is practically a continuum in sizes, from grains of dust, all the way to the planets.
Because it only meets 2 of the 3 requirements to be a planet

Because it displayed the characteristics of an icy body
People decide to explore planets using robots, rovers, and other forms of technology due to the risks and challenges involved in sending humans on such missions. Robotic exploration allows for collecting data, conducting experiments, and gathering information that can inform future human missions. Additionally, sending robots is often more cost-effective and efficient than sending humans.
(Apex) Because it displays the characteristics of an icy body rather than a planet.
Generally I'd say Jupiter, but Uranus and Venus also have the same gaseous stripes as Jupiter. Take a look at some satellite pictures of the planets and decide for yourself
I personally do not agree, mainly because then the astrologers who used Pluto as one of their items in their charts will now have to retire from their work.
