Of course. Everything that has mass has gravity.

No, Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.

The planet with two moons is Mars. The moons are called Phobos and Deimos.

It was not so much a discovery that Pluto wasn't a planet, so much as a general concensus that it shouldn't be called a planet anymore. Over the past decade, astronomers have discovered several bodies beyond the orbit of Pluto that are in fact larger (for example, Eris.) They realized that there were probably many more they hadn't discovered yet and that the term planet was impractical for Pluto since it was so small and there were so many similar sized objects orbiting the Solar System. Eris was probably the final blow to Pluto's status. It is larger than Pluto and for a long time astronomers called it the solar system's "tenth planet''. In the face of this discovery and the fact that many other similarly sized objects had been found, the International Astronomical Union decided to formally define the word "planet" for the first time in 2006 and in the process effectively demoted Pluto.

Pluto used to be one of the nine planets, but it was re-classified as a Dwarf Planet on August 24th 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

A.) magnetic north and south poles

B.) north magnetic pole

C.) north pole

D.) north and south poles

E.) south magnetic pole

these are the options ^^

As far as we can actually PROVE, it is the only dwarf planet that orbits our own Sun. However, there has long been some speculation that there may be another dwarf planet out beyond Pluto, that is even smaller, but which is too far away from the Sun to be seen with optical instruments. It has also been debated that some large meteorites that orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planets, should maybe be declared as being dwarf planets in their own right.

The planet Neptune crosses the orbit of Pluto in an elliptic orbit

As far as we know right now, Haumea does not have an atmosphere, meaning there are no hurricanes.

No. The term dwarf planet is reserved for a relatively large object that is rounded by its own gravity. The vast majority of asteroids are not rounded like this.

There are 13 in total:

Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea.

It seems likely that several other large objects, such as Sedna, Qaoar and others, will eventually be recognized as dwarf planets. It also seems likely that more dwarf planets will be discovered.

A day on Haumea is very short, since its rotational period is just 3.9155 hours. It takes 284.12 Earth-years (103774 Earth-days) for it to completely orbit the Sun, which means there are 636,081.216 Haumean days in one Haumean year.

No.

A dwarf planet is classified as a celestial body in direct orbit of the sun that is large enough to be controlled by gravitational force rather than mechanical forces but has not cleared its path of orbit from other objects and debris.

Where the planet orbits has nothing to do with planets being classified as dwarves.

It is now widely accepted that Pluto should not be classified as a planet, because more bodies more massive than it were discovered beyond its orbit. Also, it seems that it has characteristics similar to other objects in the Kuiper belt.

A dwarf planet is called a dwarf planet as it is small. Another reason is that people such as astronomers , think that because a planet is so small it should not be in our solar system. That is quite silly you know because if a planet is there, a planet is

there!

Comment: Unfortunately that's really not the proper explanation.

To qualify as a planet, a body has to be approximately spherical (achieving hydrostatic equilibrium under its own gravity), it has to orbit the sun and it has to have cleared its orbit of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there are no other sizable bodies. A dwarf planet, like pluto, fulfill the first two requirements, but not the last one, this is why they are deemed dwarf planets rather than planets. The last requirement is often deemed silly as many observers have pointed out Neptune hasn't cleared it's orbit of many objects like Pluto making it only fulfilling qualifications as a dwarf planet (a silly classification and the AIU agrees as it is still considered a planet). Some astronomers seek a more static classification of a "Dwarf Planet" (the classification isn't bad but the last requirement they don't fill fails as a defining force) as we will see many exo-planets are likely to test this definition.

No. Geography is the study of Earth, covering landscapes and environments among others. Astronomy is the study of planets.

It's pronounced

SEER-ees.

The name of the Roman equivalent of Demeter, goddess of the harvest. Her name is where the English language gets "cereal".

In the year 2006.

Pluto was demoted because it did not have an orbit of its own, but shared its orbit with other Kuiper belt objects (KBOs).

(The link below should help answer your question better)

Its mainly due to their size, and the fact that Dwarf Planets have not cleared their orbit of enough of the other rocks and planetoids that are also at that orbit. Pluto has not cleared its orbit of enough matter to be deemed a major planet, while all of the remaining 8 planets have.

Pluto is a very different planet from all of the planets in our solar system. It is has not been explored yet and it could have many vital materials our resources that Earth is running out of. If Pluto had these resources it would be very great for Earth and the survival for all of mankind!!!Did that answer your question?

The New Horizons spacecraft. It will reach Pluto July 14th 2015.

In 1853 Vesta, Juno, Ceres and Pallas were demoted from planets to minor planets, and in 2006 Pluto was demoted from planet to dwarf planet.
