The dwarf planet Haumea has three known moons: Hi'iaka, Namaka, and a smaller, unnamed moon. Haumea is unique due to its elongated shape and rapid rotation, and it is located in the Kuiper Belt. The moons are named after Hawaiian deities, reflecting Haumea's cultural significance.
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.
Haumea has two known moons, Hiʻiaka and Namaka.
The dwarf planet Haumea (located in the Kuiper Belt) has 2 moons.
Haumea is the dwarf planet that has three known moons: Hi'iaka, Namaka, and a smaller, unnamed moon. It is located in the Kuiper Belt and is unique for its elongated shape and rapid rotation. Haumea is also notable for its composition, which includes a significant amount of crystalline ice.
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.

The dwarf planet Pluto and its binary partner Charon have two moons, Nix and Hydra.
The dwarf planet Haumea (located in the Kuiper Belt) has 2 moons.
yes it does
ceres
The dwarf planet Pluto has 3 moons - Charon, Hydra and Nix.
No
Charon, Nix and Hydra are the 3 moons of Pluto. Pluto is no longer considered to be a planet, but is classified as a dwarf planet.
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
As far as we know Haumea in the Kuiper belt has two moons, Hi'aka and Namaka.
Yes, and they do. Not all of them have confirmed moons but some do. Pluto, for example, has four known moons.
