Which planet travels the greatest distance in its orbit?
Among our sun's planets, Neptune enjoys that distinction. If we include dwarf planets, then Eris makes the longest journey (so far). We will likely discover icy bodies as big as Eris even further away.
What are the 4 dwarf planets called?
Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake are the dwarf planets found so far. As you can see there are 5 now, not just 4.
What are the two well known dwarf planets?
These are currently defiend as dwarf planets: Ceres Pluto Haumea Makemake Eris There are some other ateroids that are currently considered candidates for dwarf planet status, however further study is required to confirm.
Is Eris the smallest planet?
Its orbital period is 4.60 years; since that is not an exact multiple of the Earth year, the closest approach is not at the same date every year. You can check astronomical sites for "opposition of Ceres"; the closest approach is usually close to the opposition. For example, in 2016, Ceres was in opposition on 21 October.
Is Pluto is farthest dwarf planet from the sun?
Planet: Neptune at 30 AUDwarf Planet: Eris at 67.67 AUThe farthest planet from the sun is Neptune. The farthest dwarf planet from the sun is Pluto. The planet, Pluto is no longer considered a planet because of its size.
Is there a planet further away than Pluto?
There are many planets further away from Pluto but they do not orbit the sun so they are not part of our solar system. There are also many stars that are further away from Pluto.

Which of the planet classified as a Dwarf planet?
Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Sedna and Makemake are the five "dwarf planets" designated so far. Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris are currently the five bodies classed as dwarf planets, but there are further candidates that could be classed as dwarf planets once more information on their shape has been uncovered.

Why was Pluto removed the solar system when where who?
Pluto is still in the solar system but it has been reclassified as a dwarf planet, so there are eight true planets, then a few dwarf planets with Eris and Pluto as the two largest. They are called dwarf planets because they are not big enough to have hoovered up the debris from their orbits. Eris, discovered in 2005, is further out than Pluto but has an even more unusual orbit, with a semimajor axis of 67.7 astronomical units, eccentricity of 0.44 and inclined 44 degrees to the ecliptic. It has a moon called Dysnomia.
Why is the temperature higher in the inner planets than the outer planets?
Planets closer to the sun will receive more of the suns energy per unit of area on their surface than planets further from the sun, so will generally be hotter.

What is the name of other dwarf planets?
The currently recognized dwarf planets are: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris. Another dozen or so objects are strong candidates but have not yet been confirmed as dwarf planets.
What planet replaced pluto?
Pluto didnt get replaced, its still there. There were other planets like Pluto that were discovered in the last couple of decades or so - the same sort of size and further out from the sun. These include Makemake and Sedna to name a couple.
