Pluto is a Dwarf Planet because it is too small to be a Classical Planet.
Dwarf Planets are much smaller than Classical Planets.
If you look at a diagram of the solar system with Pluto in it, you will see that it is much smaller compared to the other Classical Planets.
the planet is one of the gases planet.. and the dwarf planets are small planets..
Ceres is the closest dwarf planet to the sun. Ceres is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The other dwarf planets are out past the orbit of Neptune.
Pluto the dwarf planet is an example of of a dwarf planet.
A dwarf planet is a body that orbits the sun - is often beyond the orbit of Jupiter and is classified below a planet. An asteroid is a body that orbits the sun within the asteroid belt.
The difference is that a dwarf planet is not or no longer a true planet.To be a true planet it must fit these criteria:1.Orbit the Sun2. Be spherical(rounded shape)3. Be able to clear its path of any objects in the way such as debrisPluto was unable to fit these criteria so is now a dwarf planet :)
it is a dwarf planet some people may also say it is kbo(kipper belt object)
A planet is a ruffly spherical object that orbits a star. The difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is a planet clears its orbit of debris by itself- a dwarf planet has help! Hope this helps!xxx :-)
Uranus is one of the main eight planets of our solar system.
the planet is one of the gases planet.. and the dwarf planets are small planets..
A planet is bigger than a dwarf planet and the Moon. A planet revolves around the Sun directly in its own orbit, but so does a dwarf planet. However, the planet is the dominant object in its orbital region. A dwarf planet is not the dominant object. That's the important difference.
Makemake is the second dwarf planet from Pluto (moving away from the sun). The only dwarf planet in between the two of them is Haumea.
A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the sun and is spherical in shape, but has not cleared its orbit of other debris. A planet, on the other hand, is also a celestial body that orbits the sun and is spherical in shape, but has cleared its orbit of other debris.
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is the Asteroid Belt, which includes the dwarf planet Ceres.

i .The difference is they are much much smaller. ii. The similarity is that they have moons.

Pluto is currently classified as a Dwarf Planet, it has however varied between a full planet, a moon, and now a dwarf planet. Dwarf Planets are functionally the same as a regular planet, their size is just a bit smaller.
