Introduction If you don’t know the difference between a dwarf planet and a planet, here you go!

Both orbit the sun. Both a dwarf

planet and a planet have enough mass to

assume a nearly round shape. A dwarf

planet has asteroids in its orbit. Both are

not a moon.

A moon is a

large body in the

sky that shines at

night and is a

satellite of a

planet.

Out of this world facts

Some people believe that

Dwarf Planets can become

Planets by asteroids

hitting it and both clearing

it’s neighborhood and

becoming bigger

A few dwarf planets compared to the size of earth.

Pluto, Charon, nix, hydrana. Ceres, dysnomis, Eris, and earth.

Powerful Pluto Pluto is one of the most known dwarf planets. Most people

know about Pluto because it is the first discovered dwarf planet.

Some people don’t know this but Pluto has three Moons.

The three moons are Nix, Hydra, and Charon. Imagine this, our

moon is bigger than Pluto and Pluto has three moons! Also

imagine a moon with moons on it.

Dwarf

planets

have more

moons

because

there is asteroids in their orbit and the

asteroids get caught in their force of Gravity.

Out of this world facts

Pluto used to be a planet

but got demoted to a

dwarf planet in 2005 to be

a dwarf planet.

Enormous Eris Eris is the biggest Dwarf Planet and it is in the

Kuiper Belt. Eris has a weird pathway that goes out of

the Kuiper belt.

It only has one moon compared to Pluto. The one

moon is Dysnomia.

The Kuiper belt is an asteroid belt that separates

our solar system and other solar systems.

Out of this world facts

It takes the longest on Eris

to make a year.

Super Ceres Ceres lives in the first asteroid belt or main belt. It has

no moons and was the third discovered Dwarf Planet. Most

people don’t know about Ceres.

Most people don’t know this but Ceres has water on

it! If there is any water on a dwarf planet or a planet there

can be life on it.

If there is any life on a dwarf planet or a planet there

usually only is bacteria living on it.

Out of this world facts

Ceres is the hottest dwarf

planet.

Make Makemake Makemake (pronounced mah- kee- mah- kee) lives in the

same place as Pluto, Eris, and Haumau. Makemake was

discovered in March 2005 by M.E. Brown, C.A. Trajillo, and D.L.

Rabinowitz.

People have found signs of frozen nitrogen on Makemake’s

surface. There also has been frozen ethane and methane.

Makemake was like Eris the

reason why was because

Makemake first was a planet then

got disqualified into a dwarf planet.

Out of this world facts

Makemake got its name

from the great god

Rapanu 5

Hello, Haumea! Surprisingly Haumea has two moons (Hi’aka and Namaka) and is not even completely round!

Now think of a moon with moons with moons on it!

Heamea is one of the fastest rotating objects in our solar system. It takes about 285 earth

years for Haumea to orbit the sun.

Like all the dwarf planets besides Ceres it

lives past Neptune. One of the two moons lives

in a farther distance than the other.
