[edit] What are the names of all the dwarf planets?

[edit] Answer

The current list of "dwarf planets" (round bodies that orbit the Sun independently) includes, in order of their orbital distance :

• Ceres (950 km in diameter and 1/3 of the total mass of the asteroid belt)
• Pluto (2390 km in diameter and formerly the 9th solar planet)
• Haumea (ellipsoid Kuiper Belt object about 1/3 Pluto's mass)
• Makemake (about 1800 km in diameter and a bit farther out than Haumea)
• Eris (at 2500 km in diameter and 1.27 the mass of Pluto, the largest discovered Kuiper object. With Dysnomia, its moon, it orbits the Sun once in 557 years.)

Candidates for dwarf planet status include Sedna, pending verification of its mass and shape. (Sedna's closest approach to the Sun is barely within the Kuiper Belt, and its orbit may extend to nearly 1000 AU, into the Oort Cloud of comets.) Other Kuiper Belt bodies include Quaoar , Orcus, and Varuna.

Pluto's moon Charon, and the large asteroids Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea are also listed as potential candidates for dwarf planet status.
