As of January, 2009, there are 5 dwarf planets, and only the asteroid Ceres is close enough to the Sun (just past Mars) to get appreciable solar heating. Surrounded by the vacuum of space, the "hottest" its surface gets is about -34°C.

There are only five known dwarf planets!They're names are as follows Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris. On the other hand only two of them have been observed in detail to fit the acutul definition. Ceres and Pluto are the two.I hope that helps in your quest.

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!!
