Do you know why Pluto is a dwarf planet??
There are 3 rules to consider a celestial body a planet.
1. Planet should be spherical in shape with it's own gravity.
2 . Planet should revolve around it's own star / stars.
3 . Planet should clean it's surroundings with it's own gravity.
Pluto does not follow 3rd rule so IAU (International aeronautical union) decided to consider Pluto a dwarf planet.
Facts
There are 5 dwarf planets in our solar system Ceres, Make make, Humea, Eris and Pluto.
Pluto has 5 moons
Thank you
