Dwarf Planets Comparison Ceres is the only IAU recognized dwarf planet that resides in the main asteroid belt With a width of about 952 kilometers 592 miles it is the most diminutive dwarf planet more than 13 times smaller than Earth Yet it is by far the largest asteroid accounting for roughly a third of the mass in the asteroid belt Ceres probably has a solid core and icy mantle on top of which lies a
Pluto another well known dwarf planet has a more moderate orbit compared to Eris Pluto s orbit reaches approximately 49 AU from the Sun at its farthest point Dwarf planets size ranges from 946 kilometers Ceres to 2 374 kilometers Pluto in diameter placing them in a category between major planets and smaller solar system objects Ceres is about 1 13 the width of Earth The closest dwarf planet to the Sun and the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system Ceres orbits the Sun from an average distance of 257 million miles 413 million kilometers Ceres is about 2 8 times farther from the Sun than Earth

As these dwarf planets are farther out in the Solar System than Neptune they are also called plutoids a subcategory of dwarf planets Around 3 500 small bodies called Trans Neptunian Objects TNOs have been found in this area but until Eris all the TNOs discovered were significantly smaller than Pluto

Pluto The Star of Dwarf Planets Pluto is by far the most famous dwarf planet Discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930 Pluto was long considered our solar system s ninth planet But after other astronomers found similar intriguing worlds deeper in the distant Kuiper Belt the IAU reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006

The number of dwarf planets in the Solar System is unknown Estimates have run as high as 200 in the Kuiper belt 1 and over 10 000 in the region beyond 2 However consideration of the surprisingly low densities of many large trans Neptunian objects as well as spectroscopic analysis of their surfaces suggests that the number of dwarf planets may be much lower perhaps only nine among

A short video of the rotation of the dwarf planets and some dwarf planet candidates A dwarf planet is a small planetary mass object that is in direct orbit around the Sun massive enough to be gravitationally rounded but insufficient to achieve orbital dominance like the eight classical planets of the Solar System The prototypical dwarf planet is Pluto which for decades was regarded as a

Planet classification There are four main categories of classifications when determining the type of celestial body an object is These classifications are terrestrial planets Mercury Venus Earth and Mars gas giants Jupiter and Saturn ice giants Uranus and Neptune and dwarf planets Pluto Eris Haumea and Makemake Ceres at this current time is still labeled as an asteroid
