In order of increasing distance they are: Ceres (king of the asteroids), Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris (current king of the Kuiper Belt).
There are eight planets in our solar system that are officially named: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There are also other celestial bodies that are sometimes classified as dwarf planets, such as Pluto and Eris.
Pluto, Eris, and Makemake are all dwarf planets in our solar system. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Eris is one of the largest known dwarf planets and is located in the outer solar system. Makemake is another dwarf planet beyond Pluto's orbit and was named after a creator deity in the Rapa Nui mythology.

Eris is the largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System, and the ninth-largest body known to orbit the Sun directly. It is approximately 2,500 kilometres in diameter and 27% more massive than Pluto. It is named after the Greek goddess of strife and discord.
yes, yes it should
Many people say that there are only eight planets in our solar system since Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet. Astronomers mostly consider planets and dwarf planets together when they count the number of planets in the solar system. A few more dwarf planets have been found, or at least put in the category of dwarf planets. More can be expected. The 8 planets: 1. Mercury 2. Venus 3. Earth 4. Mars 5. Jupiter 6. Saturn 7. Uranus 8. Neptune The 5 dwarf planets: 1. Ceres (an asteroid) 2. Pluto 3. Haumea (Kuiper Belt Object) 4. Makemake (Kuiper Belt Object) 5. Eris (Kuiper Belt Object)
The dwarf planets are named after mythological figures. For example, Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld, Ceres is named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, Haumea is named after the Hawaiian goddess of childbirth, and Makemake is named after the creator god of the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island.
