The little moons Nix and Hydra are about two to three times as far from Pluto as Charon and roughly 5,000 times fainter than Pluto. Eris, another dwarf planet even more distant than Pluto, has a small moon of its own, named Dysnomia. Haumea, another dwarf planet, has two satellites, Hi'iaka and Namaka.
planets have moons for day and night
No, not all dwarf planets have moons. Some, such as Eris and Haumea, do not have any known moons while others, like Pluto and Ceres, have moons.
no. a dwarf planet is a planet that doesnt have the characteristics for being a planet so its counted as a planet, a dwarf planet can have moons, such as Pluto has 3 moons, but a moon cant have a moon, so therefore dwarf planets and moons are diffrent.
No, they are planets because they orbit the Sun, but they are not big enough to be proper planets.
Yes, most planets do have moons that orbit around them. In our own solar system, six out of eight planets have moons, and the dwarf planet Pluto also has moons. Only the two innermost planets, Mercury and Venus, do not have moons.

Yes, dwarf planets can have moons. For example, Pluto, which is classified as a dwarf planet, has five moons. Other dwarf planets like Haumea and Eris also have moons orbiting around them.

Yes. Many Planets and dwarf planets have less than 10 moons. Planets: Mercury- 0 moons Venus- 0 moons Earth- 1 moon Mars- 2 moon Neptune- 8 moons Dwarf planets: Pluto- 3 moons and many other dwarf planets that i don't know how many moons they have.
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.
Planets and anything like them. Moons orbiting stars are usually dubbed as dwarf planets.
You mean moons? No.
Well, dwarf planets are much much smaller than planets and some people may confuse some of Jupiter's largest moons as dwarf planets but because some people may look at the moons and confuse them with dwarf planets (i know someone who dose) !!

Yes. Of the five recognized dwarf planets only one, Ceres lacks a moon. Dwarf planets are massive objects, far more massive that ordinary asteroids and comets, so they have strong enough gravity to retain moons in stable orbits.
