Dwarf Planets

Here in our own solar system, the four inner planets are rocky; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Beyond our solar system, we've detected over a thousand planets, but we're unable to discover any details about the surface. As far away as they are, I'm still amazed that we can discover that they exist!

Yes, dwarf planets have gravity just like any other astronomical body. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists due to the mass of an object, so all objects with mass, including dwarf planets, have their own gravitational pull.

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.

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.

yh but rare normal ppl a tall or short but not dwarfs wife and husband can get dwarfs....

It appears to be a misspelling of "dwarf planet," which is a celestial body that orbits the sun and is not a full-fledged planet due to certain characteristics defined by the International Astronomical Union. Examples include Pluto and Eris.

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".

Dwarf planets form similarly to regular planets, through the accumulation of rock, ice, and other materials in the protoplanetary disk surrounding a young star. However, dwarf planets do not clear their orbital path of other debris and are typically smaller in size than regular planets due to gravitational interactions with neighboring bodies.

Although there are many rumors and movies about the planet zork, all of it is not true for it does not exist!

To be classified as a dwarf planet, an object must orbit the sun, be nearly spherical in shape, and have not cleared its orbit of debris. Additionally, it must not be a moon of another object. Currently, there are five recognized dwarf planets in our solar system.

The planet "Pluto" was recently reclassified as a dwarf planet because astronomers believed that it was too small to be classified as a "regulation" planet. The original images of Pluto made it look like a full size planet, but later observations revealed that it was about a tenth of the size that we first thought and that it had an orbit that can only be described as "wacky".

Sedna is not a planet, according to the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Because Sedna is so distant and so small, it has not yet been classified, but is probably a Trans-Neptunian Object. It may or may not turn out to meet the standards of a "dwarf planet", depending on whether its mass is high enough to force it into a roughly spherical shape.

Sedna's orbit is highly elliptical and has not been completely analyzed, but its perihelion appears to be 76 AU with an aphelion of 975 AU. This would give it an orbital period of perhaps 12 thousand years.

There are millions, possibly billions, of planets in the Milky Way. An exact number will never be known.

I'm pretty sure there are 2300 dwarfs in the US!?

Sedna likely has a rocky core surrounded by a layer of water and ammonia compounds, followed by an outer layer of water ice. The exact composition and structure of its interior layers are still uncertain due to limited observational data.

No, Sedna and Nibiru are two different celestial bodies. Sedna is a trans-Neptunian object that orbits the sun in the outer reaches of the solar system, while Nibiru is a hypothetical planet often associated with conspiracy theories and doomsday predictions.

The gas in a dwarf planet can be lost to space over time due to a lack of sufficient gravity to hold onto it. This can happen through processes like atmospheric escape or evaporation. Additionally, some of the gas can be absorbed into the dwarf planet's interior, depending on its composition and conditions.

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.

Dwarfs, like all individuals, can vary in characteristics and behavior. However, they are often depicted as strong, resilient, industrious, and skilled craftsmen in various works of literature and folklore.

The biggest dwarf planet in our solar system is Pluto. It was considered the ninth planet until 2006, when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union. Pluto has a diameter of about 1,473 miles (2,370 kilometers).

Sedna is not located in the Oort Cloud. It is a trans-Neptunian object with a highly elliptical orbit that takes it far from the Sun, but it does not reach the distant reaches of the Oort Cloud.

I honestly don't know for sure what Sedna was made out of. I know that dwarf planets are normally made out of rocky and maybe some icy things too. And as you know, Sedna is a dwarf planet. Iv'e always wondered. Maybe you could look up Sedna off of Wikipedia or you can watch on youtube "the mystery of Sedna." I love space.

Hope this helps!

Pallas or 2 Pallas has a mass of about 2.11 x 1020 kg

The Earth for comparison has a mass of 5.9736 x 1024 kg
