Dwarf means very small so dwarf planet means a very small planet. These type of planets formed and can easily disappear.
they are formed due to any explosion in space or a cluster of stones breaking ,they disappear by explosions and also when their orbits get dismantled

∙ 10y agoA celestial body resembling a small planet but lacking certain technical criteria that are required for it to be classed as planet. An object orbiting the Sun that is large enough to be rounded by its own gravity but is not gravitationally dominant in its orbital area and is not a moon is a dwarf planet.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoA Dwarf Planet is a Celestial Body which is neither a planet nor a satellite.
It differs from a planet because it is not the dominant body in the neighbourhood of its orbit.
So for example Pluto is now called a dwarf planet. There are lots of other bodies
around its orbit.

Do you mean dwarf planets or the Kuiper Belt?, because only 2 or 3 of like 8 or 9 dwarf planets are beyond Neptune.
How money planets are there in your solar system?

There are only 8 planets so far (that have been discovered) in our solar system.There are also 4 dwarf planets (these are not proper planets).Starting with the closest to the sun:MercuryVenusEarthMars(Ceres - Dwarf)JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune(Pluto - Dwarf)(Makemake - Dwarf)(Eris - Dwarf)There are probably more - but these are the only ones that have been discovered.
How were the dwarf planets made?
by science stuff

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.
What is the circumference of all the dwarf planets?
i now the radius of the 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 different between ordinary planets and dwarf planets?

What is Pluto Eris and Makemake?
Dwarf Planets. The five dwarf planets (as of 2017) are:CeresPlutoHaumeaMakemakeEris
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!!
Which planets are known as dwarf planets?
The five currently recognised Dwarf planets are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris.
