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.
Can a dwarf planet become a moon?
Yes, a dwarf planet can become a moon if it is captured by the gravitational field of a larger planet. This process can happen when a dwarf planet gets close enough to a planet and is pulled in by its gravity. Once captured, the dwarf planet would then orbit the larger planet as one of its moons.
Is Pluto a moon or a planet?
no it's a dwarf planet I would think that it is a dwarf planet, but its moon, Sharon, is nearly as big as it, so some MAY argue that Sharon is a dwarf planet and Pluto is the moon, but considering Pluto is slightly bigger than Sharon, I would think that Sharon would orbit Pluto rather than Pluto orbiting Sharon.
Can a dwarf planet be a gas giant?
Under the current definition of a planet, yes it can! If a gas giant were to share its orbit with other objects of significant mass (other than moons, comets or asteroids), it would definitely qualify as a dwarf planet. In order to be a planet, it would have to "clear the neighborhood" until it was the dominate influence in its orbit.
What can you assume about the gravitational pull of the brown dwarf system?
The gravitational pull of a brown dwarf system would be weaker than that of a star system but stronger than that of a planet. It is sufficient to keep the system objects in orbit around the brown dwarf.
What planet takes the most to orbit the sun?
Neptune. It would be Pluto, but Pluto is a dwarf planet ( a planet that was a planet, but decided that it wasn't a planet)
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 Pluto the planet still in it's orbit?
Yes, it is; even for a dwarf planet like Pluto, it would take an enormous amount of energy to move it out of its orbit. Someone would have noticed!
What planet take the most time to orbit the sun?
Neptune. It would be Pluto, but Pluto is a dwarf planet ( a planet that was a planet, but decided that it wasn't a planet)

How big does a planet have to be to be considered a dwarf planet?
In order to be classified as a dwarf planet, an object has to be large enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium - that is, forced by gravity into a roughly spherical shape, unlike the odd shapes of asteroids. The lower limit to the size or mass of a dwarf planet is thus much more a matter of observation than formal definition. The size would thus depend upon its mass, the lower limit of which would be dictated by properties of matter. To be considered a proper dwarf planet it would also need to be in solar orbit and not, for example, a moon of another planet; it would further not have cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, as, for example, Pluto has not.

What would happen if a dwarf star crashed into a planet?
If a dwarf star crashed into a planet,the planet would likely explode.

Does Venus orbit a planet?
No, Venus does not orbit a planet. It orbits a star, which is our Sun. It can not orbit a planet , if it did it would be a moon
