Apart from Pluto, Ceres and Eris (UB313) have also been classified s dwarf planets. Until recently, Ceres was called the largest asteroid. It has a diameter of about 950km (600m) and is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Eris is the largest of all the dwarf planets. It has a diameter of about 3, 000km (1, 850m).Sandra wrote:How Many Dwarf Planets are there in The Solar System?
Since 2006, Ceres is classfied as a dwarf planet. Before that, it was simply the largest of the many asteroids that lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
