|''A dwarf planet orbits a [[Stars|star]] and has sufficient mass and [[gravity]] for a round shape, but it does not clear its orbital neighborhood of debris. Their orbital path is shared with other space objects and rocks. Dwarf planets are very common in the galaxy. Examples of dwarf planets in [[Sol]]: [[Haumea]], [[Makemake]], [[Persephone]], [[Pluto]], [[Salacia]], [[Sedna]].'' | |''A dwarf planet orbits a [[Stars|star]] and has sufficient mass and [[gravity]] for a round shape, but it does not clear its orbital neighborhood of debris.
