A minor planet or planetoid?
Minor PlanetsThe term minor planet is still used, but after reclassification in 2006 these are now generally referred to as dwarf planets. Dwarf planets orbit the sun, but are not satellites, that is to say that they do not orbit another planet, since then they would be classified as moons. They are big enough to hold an ellipsoid shape under their own gravity (like a squashed sphere), but have not cleared their orbit of other objects. That is to say that at the same distace out, there is a significant amount of other matter that is not part of the dwarf planet.
What are the 13 planets of our solar system?
If you list ALL 13 known planets in order, including dwarf planets, they are:1. Mercury2. Venus3. Earth4. Mars5. Ceres6. Jupiter7. Saturn8. Uranus9. Neptune10. Pluto11. Haumea12. Makemake13. ErisDwarf planets also fall under the category of minor planets, of which there are thousands in our solar system. As of 2017, the orbits of 734,274 minor planets were archived at the Minor Planet Center, 496,815 of which had received permanent numbers.

Planetoids, or minor planets.
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!!
Are moons minor planets?
No. Minor planets still orbit the sun. Moons are considered natural satellites.
Why are asteroids called minor planets?
Asteroids are called minor planets because they are celestial objects that orbit the sun just like planets do, but they are much smaller in size compared to planets. The term "minor" distinguishes them from the larger, more traditional planets in our solar system.
