What is the name of the object in your solar system that is now called a dwarf planet?
It is planet Pluto. ______________________ There are five "dwarf planets" in our solar system, as of August 2010. There are certainly dozens or hundreds more in the distant parts of our solar systems, but our telescopes are not yet good enough to see them. Pluto was considered a planet until the International Astronomical Union (IAU) reclassified it. Ceres was an asteroid before the IAU reclassified it. The Kuiper Belt Objects later named Eris, Haumea and Makemake were all considered to be candidates for being named the "Tenth Planet" until the IAU came out with its definition of "planet". In fact, it was the discovery of the dwarf planet Eris, originally called "Xena", that caused the IAU to finally come up with a formal definition of "planet". All three of these objects are now considered to be "dwarf planets". There are several other large asteroids that probably deserve "dwarf planet" status as well; Vesta, certainly, and Pallas, and perhaps a few others.
When Pluto was a planet why was it not always the farthest planet from the sun?
Pluto's orbital is elliptical. Its farthest planet from sun when it lies on two elliptical end. On the other hand Neptune's orbital is circular and become larger then Pluto's orbit when Pluto come in the middle of two elliptical end. For this reason Pluto is not always farthest planet from sun.

When were the dwarf planets discovered?
The asteroid Ceres was discovered in 1801; the planet Pluto was discovered in 1930. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union decided to formally define a "planet"; this had never been formally done before. The discoveries of other distant objects beyond Pluto caused the IAU to finally come up with a rule. According to the new rule, Pluto, Ceres, and Eris (a newly discovered "tenth planet") were all classified as "dwarf planets".
