Dwarf planets and their orbits. Computer artwork showing six dwarf planets (across bottom) and their orbits around the Sun (centre). From left to right the dwarf planets are; Quaoar,Sedna,2005 FY9,Haumea,Pluto and Eris. A dwarf planet is an object that fails to dominate its orbit around the Sun (unlike a true planet),but which still has an independent orbit (unlike moons),and is large enough to be spherical due to gravity | |
