Oh honey, listen up. Dwarf planets are considered planets because they have enough mass to be round, but they haven't cleared their orbits of other debris. They just didn't make the cut to become full-fledged planets like the big shots in our solar system. Size ain't everything, remember that.
What else can I help you with?
What planet is an inner planet?
An inner planet is one of the ones that constitutes the inner part of our solar system. The ones we consider inner planets are those that are smaller and solid (as opposed to the massive, gaseous outer planets such as Jupiter and Saturn) and are surrounded by the ring formed by the zone of the asteroid belt. Those are considered inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
What two planets are almost the same size?
Mercury and Mars are the two planets that are almost the same size in our solar system. Both planets have a similar diameter, with Mercury being just slightly smaller than Mars.
What is the difference between Planets and Dwarf Planets?
As you might guess, it's partly an issue of size, with dwarf planets being smaller. But just how big does a planet need to be to become a full-fledged planet instead of a dwarf? You might think the minimum size requirement is arbitrary, but the size cutoff is actually based on other properties of the object and its history in the Solar System. Both planets and dwarf planets orbit the Sun, not other planets (in which case we call them moons). Both must be large enough that their own gravity pulls them into the shapes of spheres; this rules out numerous smaller bodies like most asteroids, many of which have irregular shapes. Planets clear smaller objects out of their orbits by sucking the small bodies into themselves or flinging them out of orbit. Dwarf planets, with their weaker gravities, are unable to clear out their orbits.
Which group of planets shares the most characteristics?
Both Jovian planets and Terrestrial planets share a similar amount of characteristics. For example, Jovian planets are gaseous, large and farthest from the sun. While Terrestrial planets are rocky, dense, closest to the sun and small (in comparison to Jovian planets). The two planets with the most similarities are Venus and Earth hence them being called "sister planets" due to to their similar masses.
Which planets are Terresrial planets on our solar system?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are considered terrestrial planets in our solar system. They are characterized by having solid surfaces, similar in composition, and being relatively small compared to the gas giant planets.
What is the planet that is larger than four planets and smaller than four planets?
The planet that is larger than four planets and smaller than four planets is Uranus. In our solar system, Uranus is the third largest planet by diameter, being larger than Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Earth, while being smaller than Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. This unique positioning makes it the only planet that fits this description.
Are emus considered to be fowl?
No. Despite being farmed, emus are not regarded as "fowl".
Which planet is only the dwarf planet Pluto is smaller?
Pluto is smaller than all eight planets, even Mercury. It's the second largest confirmed dwarf planet (out of the five dwarf planets). The largest being Eris.
What planet is an inner planet?

The ones we consider inner planets are those that are smaller and solid (as opposed to the massive, gaseous outer planets such as Jupiter and Saturn) and are surrounded by the ring formed by the zone of the asteroid belt. Those are considered inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
What is a belle laide?
A belle laide is a person who is considered attractive despite not being conventionally beautiful.
What does Pluto and other dwarf planets have in common?
Pluto and other dwarf planets share similarities such as orbiting the Sun, being much smaller than the eight classical planets, and lacking the ability to clear their orbits of other debris. They are considered part of the Kuiper Belt, a region of the solar system beyond Neptune containing many small icy objects.
What two planets are almost the same size?
Mercury and Mars are the two planets that are almost the same size in our solar system. Both planets have a similar diameter, with Mercury being just slightly smaller than Mars.

What are three ways that planets like mercury is different from a planet like neptune?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These have much smaller diameters than the outer gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) The inner planets have higher densities than the outer planets, despite being smaller and much lower in mass. The inner planets have a clearly defined surface. The inner planets are warmer and are much closer to the sun. The closer to the sun the planet is, the shorter its orbit period.
How do measles affect humans?
It can affect people of all ages, despite being considered primarily a childhood illness.

What is smaller a planet or a moon?
Size is not the differentiation of whether something is a planet or moon. The difference is what ir orbits. A planet orbits a star, and only a star. A moon orbits a planet. A moon is always smaller than the planet it belongs to, but some large moons are bigger than small planets. Ganymede and Titan are both larger than the planet Mercury, but are still much smaller than than planets they orbit, Jupiter and Saturn.
