Quaoar is an official dwarf planet.
Quaoar is not a planet, though it may be a dwarf planet. Quaoar is located in the Kuiper Belt beyond the orbit of Neptune. It orbits the sun at a somewhat greater distance than Pluto does.
Yes, Quaoar is considered a dwarf planet. It is located in the Kuiper Belt, beyond Neptune, and has not cleared its orbit of other debris. This makes it one of the criteria for being classified as a dwarf planet.
Pluto, Sedna, and Quaoar are all solid objects with icy surfaces and are small when compared to the planets of the solar system. Saturn is a giant planet primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. It does not have a solid surface.
Pluto is located in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the outer solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune. Sedna is a distant dwarf planet located in the outer region of the solar system beyond the Kuiper Belt. Quaoar is also a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt.
Quaoar or better (worse) known as 50000 Quaoar is a binary trans Neptunian object and a candidate for a dwarf planet.It is approximately 6.493 353 Tm (43.405 AU) from the Sun.It was discovered on June 4, 2002 by Chad Trujillo and Michael Brown.

There is one they were not just eight nor nine they are exact twenty five if you don't know this planet they might say you are a dumb astronaut cause it is Karla, it has no official picture from NASA but it was a newly discovered planet, Smiley is the 24th one and 23 is Quaoar, did you know that Quaoar has a moon! It's WeyWot. So if you don't believe you are an official DUMB Astronaut!F****** b****
No, it's too small to be a planet, it's a dwarf planet.
They are two different objects with different orbits. Pluto is a dwarf planet, and Quaoar might be a dwarf planet, but is right now classified as a minor planet. They also probably have very different compositions, but we don't know much about Pluto and even less about Quaoar.
which one? Sedna Quaoar Eris??
No, Quaoar does not have rings. Quaoar is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune, and it is not known to possess any ring system like some other bodies in the Solar System.
Its mean diameter in miles is around 525 miles (844km). Astronomers are unsure of its shape as it is so small and far away, so it remains a dwarf planet candidate. If it turns out that it is approximately spherical in shape, then it is likely to be classified as an official dwarf planet.
quasar : a very bright, very distant object, similar to a star
Quaoar was discovered on June 4, 2002 by astronomers Chad Trujillo and Michael Brown at the California Institute of Technology, from images acquired at the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory.

I don't think so. Check the spelling. There is a dwarf planet - not satellite - called Quaoar.
