Answer:
Here is your answer
Explanation:
A dwarf planet is a planetary-mass object that is in direct orbit of the Sun and is massive enough to be plastic – for its gravity to maintain it in a hydrostatically equilibrious shape – but has not cleared the neighborhood of its orbit of similar objects. The prototype dwarf planet is Pluto.
