What was the physical make up of Ceres?
Ceres is a dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is composed mostly of rock and water ice, with a rocky core and a thin dusty surface. It is the largest object in the asteroid belt and was the first dwarf planet to be visited by a spacecraft, NASA's Dawn mission.
Is Ceres the only planet with a ice mantle?
Ceres is not a planet, but a dwarf planet. It is thought to have a subsurface layer of water ice, making it one of the few known objects apart from planets with an ice mantle. Other icy moons like Europa and Ganymede, as well as Pluto, also have ice mantles.
Basic statistics of planet Pluto?
Pluto was thought to be a planet until 2006, when it was named as a dwarf planet. The planet is thought to be very icy and at least 5 times smaller than Earth.

Where are most dwarf planet found?
So far most dwarf planets are found in a ring of icy debris beyond the orbit of Neptune known as the "Kuiper Belt." Only one dwarf planet is recognized in the belt of dry material between Mars and Jupiter known as the asteroids. That dwarf is called Ceres.
