A dwarf planet is a planet that is too small to be considered a real planet, and is more like a very large asteroid that orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Pluto was first considered a planet, but, then when scientists found a lot of similar size objects orbiting the Sun beyond Pluto, Pluto was then reclassified a dwarf planet. Pluto is a lot more like a large moon, than a small planet. It's orbit, for example, is not round like the other planets, but, gets nearer to the Sun, (at times) than Neptune (the eighth planet).
