Is a dwarf planet the same as a moon?
no. a dwarf planet is a planet that doesnt have the characteristics for being a planet so its counted as a planet, a dwarf planet can have moons, such as Pluto has 3 moons, but a moon cant have a moon, so therefore dwarf planets and moons are diffrent.
What dwarf planet with two moons?
Haumea has two known moons, Hiʻiaka and Namaka.
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.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.

Are there more then 8 Planets?
In our own solar system, there are eight major planets, ten dwarf planets, two protoplanets, and thousands of minor planets (asteroids). There are also billions of planets outside our own system, but they shall not be named here (it would be impractical to try). Below is a list, in orbital order, of major objects in the solar system, as well as how many known major objects orbit them:Sol (sun) [18 planets, three asteroid belts, two protoplanets, one theoretical dwarf star]Mercury (terrestrial planet)Venus (terrestrial planet)Earth (terrestrial planet) [1 moon, Luna]Mars (terrestrial planet) [2 moons]Asteroid BeltCeres* (dwarf planet)Vesta* (protoplanet)Pallas* (protoplanet)Jupiter (gas giant) [66 moons]Saturn (gas giant) [62 moons]Uranus (ice giant) [27 moons]Neptune (ice giant) [13 moons]Kuiper Belt [asteroids, dwarf planets]Orcus+ (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Vanth]Pluto+ (dwarf planet) [1 planet, Charon, 3 moons]Charon+ (dwarf planet) [1 planet, Pluto, 3 moons]Haumea+ (dwarf planet) [2 moons]Quaoar+ (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Weywot]Makemake+ (dwarf planet)Eris (dwarf planet) [1 moon, Dysnomia]"Snow White" (2007 OR10) (dwarf planet)Sedna (dwarf planet)Oort Cloud [comets, asteroids]Nemesis# (red dwarf star, theoretical)*Orbits within Asteroid Belt+Orbits within Kuiper Belt#Theoretical, sort of like Bigfoot
What planet is a dwarf planet with two moons?
As far as we know Haumea in the Kuiper belt has two moons, Hi'aka and Namaka.
Can dwarf planets have moons?
Yes, and they do. Not all of them have confirmed moons but some do. Pluto, for example, has four known moons.
What makes a planet be classified as a dwarf planet instead of a moon?
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.
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.
