10 Αυγ 2006 · The following is the IAU definition of a dwarf planet, planet as well as a definition of asteroid. A dwarf plane t is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, (c) has not
Pluto is by far the most famous dwarf planet. Discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, Pluto was long considered our solar system's ninth planet. But after other astronomers found similar intriguing worlds deeper in the distant Kuiper Belt – the IAU reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006.
31 Ιαν 2023 · According to the International Astronomical Union, a dwarf planet in our solar system is a body that orbits the Sun (is not a moon), has sufficient mass to be round, yet has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.
In this video from NASA, learn about the history of defining a planet, and examine how classification changes based on new knowledge.
