If a body revolves around the Sun but does not clear its orbit which classification is suitable?

Correct answer: Dwarf planet

A dwarf planet revolves around the Sun and has enough mass to become nearly round, but it has not cleared other bodies from the neighbourhood of its orbit. Therefore, the suitable classification is a dwarf planet. A planet also revolves around the Sun, but it has cleared its orbital neighbourhood. Pluto is a well-known example. Exam tip: remember ‘clearing the orbit’ as the key difference between a planet and a dwarf planet.
