Question

Abdid is an astronomer who has been observing objects that orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt. He finds a previously undiscovered round, rocky object that is not similar in shape to the rest of the asteroids. What has Abdid most likely found?

Answer 1

since it is round and it is the asteroid belt it is most likely that he found a dwarf planet 

Answer 2

Abdid has most likely found a new dwarf planet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dwarf planets are too small to be considered planets, but are also two big to be considered something else. A dwarf planet has to have sufficient mass so that the self-gravity is strong enough to create its round shape. Other qualifications of a dwarf planet is that it has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and it cannot be a satellite. Based on the location, size, and shape of the object Abdid has discovered, it is likely he discovered a new dwarf planet in the asterioid belt. One of the most famous is Ceres.
