Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer for this question in option C

Explanation:

A dwarf planet can be defined as a celestial body that orbits around the sun, but is not large enough to clear the area around its orbit of other objects because they are similar to regular planets with enough mass and gravity that help them to be rounded but are that small that they have their path full of objects like asteroids. As regular planets dwarf planets travel in space in the same path around the sun. but with a big difference; that is, dwarf planets can have a clean path around them as regular planets. There are some dozens of these dwarf planets in our solar system. Some of them are far away to be analyzed and the most famous dwarf planet known is Pluto and one called CERES that was the first dwarf planet where a spacecraft has landed
