Eris is the largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System, and the ninth-largest body known to orbit the Sun directly. It is approximately 2,500 kilometres in diameter and 27% more massive than Pluto. It is named after the Greek goddess of strife and discord.

What is the difference between a true planet and a dwarf planet?
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 :)
Is it true or false dwarf planets do not clear the neighborhood around its orbit?
True. Dwarf planets do not clear the neighborhood around their orbit, which is one of the key criteria that distinguishes them from full-fledged planets. While they are large enough to be rounded by their own gravity, they share their orbital zone with other objects of similar size. This characteristic is why celestial bodies like Pluto are classified as dwarf planets rather than planets.
What is the name of our dwarf planets?
our dwarf planets are Pluto
How do you compare dwarf planets from regular planets?
dwarf planets are smaller than regular planets
What can planets do that dwarf planets cannot do?
Actually Dwarf planets are planets which are very small in size and cannot be called planets but not as small to be called asteroids, so the name dwarf planets.

What orbits the Sun but are not classified as planets?
Asteroids, comets, minor or dwarf planets, and even some artificial spacecraft orbit the Sun but are not considered true planets.
What is the circumference of all the dwarf planets?
i now the radius of the dwarf planets
Do outer planets have dwarf planets?
No. Planets do not have dwarf planets. A planet-sized object orbiting a larger planet is a moon. Dwarf planets orbit the sun independent of other objects.
How many dwarf planets are there in the milky way galaxy?
It is not known. Scientists are still not sure how many dwarf planets are in the solar system or how many true planets are in the galaxy. If estimates from our solar system apply elsewhere, however, the number is probably in the trillions.
What is the different between ordinary planets and dwarf planets?
ordinary planets are a big part of the solar system dwarf planets aren't that important they are considered like stars or asteroids but mainly dwarf planets
What number planet is pluto?
It depends if you count all planets, or just dwarf planets:On the list of all 13 planets including dwarf planets, pluto is the 10th from the sun.If you only count only the 5 dwarf planets, it is the second dwarf planet from the sun (the first is Ceres).
