What is a list of possible planets and celestial bodies that are more than one element?
All of the planets and that includes (asteroids, meteoroids, comets, moons, dwarf planets.)
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
Celestial body between mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids (also sometimes called "minor planets"). These are not the "dwarf planets", except for Ceres, which is a dwarf planet.
What are the internal heat source?
Internal heat source include celestial objects, such as moons, dwarf planets, brown dwarfs, stars and planets.
What space object was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006?
Five such bodies were reclassified as "dwarf planets" in 2006. The most famous, or infamous, has been the demotion of Pluto.

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!!

What is a celestial object intermediate in mass between small known stars and large planets?
A brown dwarf.
Where are most dwarf planets from?
Most of the dwarf planets are large Kuiper belt objects, bodies that are in a distant orbit around our sun, beyond Neptune's orbit.
Why are moons natural satellites to planets?
Satellites are objects placed in orbit by human enterprise. Moons are natural satellites because they orbit planets or other smaller celestial bodies, but are formed in some way out side our control. IE: collisions, captured dwarf planets, or created out of the same Protoplanetary Disk as it's primary.
Where are the dwarf planets situated?
There are five bodies currently classified as dwarf planets. All of the except for Ceres are beyond the orbit of Neptune, with their orbits extending into the Kuiper belt. Ceres is the smallest of the dwarf planets, but far closer. It is in the asteroid belt between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter.
What is the largest of the bodies that are found in the solar system?
If by small bodies you mean planets, then Jupiter is the answer you want. If you mean dwarf planets, then you are looking for Ceres in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.

Are dwarf planets the same as normal planets?
No, Dwarf planets are not planets technically because dwarf planets fail to meet one or all of the caracteristics of a planet.Pluto for example, had a diameter of more than 800km, orbits around a star but it does not have a great enough gravitational pull (the ability to attract or repulse objects.)Specifically, a dwarf planet is a celestial body orbiting the Sun that:is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravityhas not cleared its neighbouring region of smaller bodiesis not a satellite.
