What can planets do that dwarf planets cannot do?

Why does the distance between the earth and the sun change during the year?
Because Earth does not orbit the Sun in a perfect circle. If you were to look at the Earth's orbit, it would look like an oval. This is called an elliptical orbit. When the Earth is closer to the Sun (called perihelion), it goes faster than when it is farther (aphelion).Also, the orbit of the planets will cause a slight wobble in the sun, so the Sun actually moves in accordance to the planets, however this is a very small wobble, and the proper answer to your question would be in the first paragraph.This is a very small amount of info, and I would suggest you research more. =)
Are the Sun and the Earth gaseous planets?
The Sun is not a planet. It is a star. The Earth has gas on it, but it is not gaseous compared to the planets defined as gaseous. So your answer would be no the Sun and the Earth are not gaseous planets.
