Dwarf planets are primarily composed of solid or icy materials rather than gases. They typically consist of rock, ice, and various minerals, making them more similar to larger celestial bodies like planets than to gas giants. Examples include Pluto, which has a rocky core surrounded by ice, and Eris, which is also largely made of ice and rock. While some dwarf planets may have thin atmospheres, they are not predominantly made of gases.

Compare gas giants to terrestrial planets?

Gas giants are composed mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, while terrestrial planets are predominantly composed of solid materials like rock and metal. Gas giants have thick atmospheres and lack solid surfaces, whereas terrestrial planets have solid surfaces that can support geological activity. Gas giants are much larger in size compared to terrestrial planets.


What is a kyper belt?

The Kyper Belt is the region far outside the orbit of Neptune where objects, also known as transneptunian objects, orbit the sun. These objects can differ from dwarf planets, like Pluto, to asteroids or other debris. Their origin is believed to be that they are leftovers from when the solar system was very young and were thrown out there by the gravity of the current planets.
