What is the difference between a planet and a dwarf planet?

Class: Class 8 Subject: Space Science Topic: space

Planets are celestial bodies that revolve around the Sun, have their own gravity, and have cleared their orbit of other objects. Dwarf planets, like Pluto, also orbit the Sun but are smaller and cannot clear their orbit. Planets are spherical due to their gravity, and so are dwarf planets, but the key difference lies in size and orbital dominance. For example, Earth is a planet, but Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet.
