The thing they have in common is the "hydrostatic equilibrium". What this means is that the planet or dwarf planet is large enough, and massive enough, to have a round shape due to its own gravity - a sphere, or in the case of a rapidly spinning object, an ellipsoid.
Inner planets and dwarf planets are similar in that they both orbit around the sun, have a solid surface, and are relatively small compared to gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. However, inner planets typically have a more defined orbit and are part of the traditional eight planets in our solar system, while dwarf planets are smaller bodies that have not cleared their orbits of other debris and therefore have a different classification.
Other dwarf planets in our solar system include Eris, Haumea, and Makemake. These dwarf planets are similar to Pluto in that they are smaller than traditional planets and do not meet all criteria to be considered full-fledged planets.
There are eight planets, which can also be loosely descibed as major planets. Below that there are dwarf planets and then minor planets, also know as asteroids.
Pluto has a lower temperature because it is further from the sun than any of the eight planets.
our dwarf planets are Pluto
The other planets are not similar to dwarf planets.

They are satellites of our sun, as with the eight major planets. They orbit the sun directly.
Mercury is the smallest of the eight official planets, then there are dwarf planets that are smaller.
As of August 24th, 2006 when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined what it means to be a "planet" within our Solar System, we officially stand with eight planets. Within our system we have eight planets (major). As of December 2011 there are 310376 numbered minor planets with an estimated similar count which have not been numbered. Five minor planets have been officially classified as "dwarf planets", of the minor planets, another 390 are being considered for designation as a dwarf planet.

No. There are eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) five dwarf planets and a few more dwarf planet candidates. There are other objects in orbit around our sun, but these are too small to be classed as planets.
There are only 8 planets because Pluto Becanme a Dwarf planet and is no longer counted as one
