Dwarf planets are the ones which are very small to be considered as planets. Recently there was lot of discussion on the planet Pluto, for assigning a status of a dwarf planet.
The ninth planet of the solar system, Pluto, was classified as "dwarf planet" along with four other bodies (Eris, Ceres, Make‐make and Haumea) which are smaller than the Earth's moon. This Pluto is the second largest Dwarf Planet. Volume of Pluto is one‐third of the volume of the Earth's moon and its mass is only one‐sixth when compared to the Earth's moon. The radio waves traveling with the speed of light could take approximately 4 hours to reach the Pluto when sent from Earth and it would take the same time to reach back.
