    How many "Dwarf Planets" are there in our solar system?

    Question #124451. Asked by author. (Dec 15 11 5:39 PM)

    		Currently there are five recognized 'dwarf planets' - but only Ceres and Pluto definitely deserve the title. There are also another fifty-plus possible dwarf planets within our solar system - and possibly many more than that, but the observation and exploration is incomplete.
