A planet is a solid or gaseous mass that is revolving around a Star for example Sun, in a fixed elliptical orbit.  It does not revolve around another planet.  A planet does not shine like the Sun.  The planet is more influenced by the Sun than other planets or moons.

A dwarf planet is a solid or gaseous mass that revolves around a star like Sun.  Dwarf planet are much smaller than planets and are influenced by other planets also.  It does not have a fixed orbit.  Orbit varies in time.    However, it still revolves around Sun.

In our Solar system, there are a few dwarf planets:  Pluto, Eris are some examples.
