What are the tiny planets?
Objects that are smaller than planets are called "dwarf planets"; even smaller objects are called "asteroids".
Why are the dwarf planets round?
because of the gravity of the other planets around them

Yes, tiny planets are still called planets as long as they meet the criteria of orbiting a star, being spherical in shape, and clearing their orbit of other debris. Size does not define whether an object is considered a planet.

Why are planets called major planets?
They are sometimes called "major planets" to distinguish them from the "minor planets" (the asteroids) and "dwarf planets" like Pluto.
What is special about the planet Ceres?

How is Pluto different from other planets?
It is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets.
Why are the dwarf planets round?
