rock and ice

∙ 10y ago
Dwarf planets can have various compositions, but generally they are made of rock and ice, similar to comets. Some dwarf planets, such as Pluto, have a significant amount of frozen water and other volatile compounds on their surfaces. Additionally, some may also contain a rocky core surrounded by icy materials.

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.
Can dwarf planets be any shape except round?
Yes, dwarf planets can have a variety of shapes besides being round. Factors like their size, composition, and unique geological history can influence their shape. Some dwarf planets may have irregular shapes due to impacts or gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.
Are dwarf planets asteroids?
Dwarf planets are not asteroids. While both are similar in size and composition, dwarf planets are considered a distinct classification due to their spherical shape and ability to gravitationally clear their orbit of other debris. In contrast, asteroids are irregularly shaped and typically exist in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
What is the composition of dwarf planet?
traces of methane,hydrogen and helium atoms like most other planets
How are inner planets similar to dwarf planets?
The other planets are not similar to 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.
What is the circumference of all the dwarf planets?
i now the radius of the dwarf planets
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 is the composition of planets?
the terristrial planets(inner planets) are made of rock, they are soild, the jovian plants (gas giants or outer planets) are made of many gases, and Pluto doesn't not fit in any category, Pluto is a dwarf planet that is possibly a moon.
Are dwarf planets and minor planets the samet hing?
Dwarf planets are celestial bodies that have enough mass to have a gravitational pull by the sun, but they are not large enough to be considered a regular planet. They are also too big to be satellites. Minor planets are in direct orbit with the sun. They are not dominant planets, and they are not comets. This qualifies all dwarf planets as minor planets. So, to answer your question, not exactly. All dwarf planets are minor planets. But not all minor planets are dwarf planets. Hope this helps you!!
