Why are meteoroids not considered dwarf planets?

<em>Key difference: A dwarf planet is “a celestial body in direct orbit of the Sun that is massive enough for its shape to be controlled by gravitation, but that unlike a planet has not cleared its orbital region of other objects.” An asteroid, on the other hand, is a large chunk of rock that orbits around the sun.</em>
