A dwarf planet has not cleared the area around its orbit, while a planet has. Since the new definition, three objects in our solar system have been classified as dwarf planets: Pluto, Ceres and Eris.

The only difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is the area surrounding each celestial body. Adwarf planet has not cleared the area around its orbit, while a planet has. Since the new definition, three objects in our solar system have been classified asdwarf planets: Pluto, Ceres and Eris. good luck
