For the scientist to be true, this planet has to: be in the direct orbit of the sun, to have enough gravity to crush into an equilibrium shape. The difference between a dwarf planet and a planet consist in the fact that the planet has `cleared the neighborhood, a scientific expression= it has become gravitationally dominant, that only its satellites are under its gravitational influence. Because the dwarf planet has not cleared the neighborhood`, it is classified as a dwarf planet, not a planet.
