What else can I help you with?
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
Is there a moon that doesn't orbit a planet?
Yes, there are moons that do not orbit planets but instead orbit other celestial bodies like asteroids or dwarf planets. For example, some moons of dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt do not orbit a planet.
Do outer planets have dwarf planets?
No. Planets do not have dwarf planets. A planet-sized object orbiting a larger planet is a moon. Dwarf planets orbit the sun independent of other objects.
Is a dwarf planet a moon?
No, a dwarf planet is not a moon. A moon is a body which orbits a large body. However, dwarf planets don't orbit any larger bodies and just orbit the sun in their solar system. Most dwarf planets are failed planets that were forming, but were to close to a gas giant whose gravity messed up the formation of the planet.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
What makes a planet be classified as a dwarf planet instead of a moon?
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.

A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
Do all moons orbit a planet?
All known moons. But in theory, there could be a moon orbiting a larger moon, if the large moon was far enough away from the planet.
Is a dwarf planet the same as a moon?
no. a dwarf planet is a planet that doesnt have the characteristics for being a planet so its counted as a planet, a dwarf planet can have moons, such as Pluto has 3 moons, but a moon cant have a moon, so therefore dwarf planets and moons are diffrent.
What do tiny planets orbit?
Like larger planets, dwarf planets also orbit the sun.
List of planets in order that orbit the moon?
No planets are in orbit around the moon
How can a dwarf planet have a moon?
While none of the objects currently recognized as dwarf planets are as massive as any of the true planets of the solar system, they are still massive objects with substantial gravity, strong enough to keep a moon or several in orbit.
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
