The dwarf planets are so called because they are smaller than the main planets, yet like Pluto,
may hold important significance. Most are located beyond Neptune, except for Ceres which is
located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Only five dwarf planets have been officially recognized; Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, and Sedna, yet many more exist. Here are the largest dwarf planets and what they represent in myth and astrology. |
