Dwarf Planets Size Comparison

In this video, we compare the sizes of some of the dwarf planets and possible dwarf planets in our solar system.
Dwarf planets are objects that have enough mass and gravity to be nearly round but share their orbits with other bodies like asteroids. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recognizes five dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Haumea and Makemake. However, there may be dozens more in the outer regions of the solar system.
We start with 2002 TX300, a possible dwarf planet that is about 286 kilometers (178 miles) across. It is one of the brightest objects in the Kuiper belt, a ring of icy debris beyond Neptune. Next, we see Hygiea, another possible dwarf planet about 434 kilometers (270 miles) in diameter. It is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and has four known moons.
Vesta is not a dwarf planet but an asteroid that was once thought to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. It has a diameter of 525 kilometers (326 miles) and a basaltic surface that indicates it was once molten. Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà is a possible dwarf planet with a diameter of about 600 kilometers (373 miles). It has a very long name that comes from a click language spoken by some indigenous people of southern Africa.
Chaos is another possible dwarf planet with a diameter of about 600 kilometers (373 miles). It has a very low albedo or reflectivity, which means it is very dark. Varuna is also a possible dwarf planet with a similar size and albedo as Chaos. It has an elongated shape that suggests it rotates very fast.
2002 AW197 is a possible dwarf planet that is about 700 kilometers (435 miles) across. It has a reddish color that may indicate organic compounds on its surface. Ixion is also a possible dwarf planet with a similar size and color as 2002 AW197. It orbits close to Pluto's orbit and may have some ice on its surface.
Varda is another possible dwarf planet with a diameter of about 720 kilometers (447 miles). It has one known moon named Ilmarë. Salacia is also a possible dwarf planet with a similar size as Varda. It has one known moon named Actaea.
Orcus is a confirmed dwarf planet candidate with a diameter of about 910 kilometers (565 miles). It has one large moon named Vanth that may have formed from an impact. Orcus orbits in resonance with Neptune, which means they complete their orbits in fixed ratios.
Ceres is the only confirmed dwarf planet in the inner solar system. It has a diameter of about 950 kilometers (590 miles) and makes up about one-third of the mass of the asteroid belt. Ceres may have an ocean beneath its crust and possibly some geysers on its surface.
Sedna is another confirmed dwarf planet candidate with an estimated diameter of about 995 kilometers (618 miles). Sedna has one of the most distant and eccentric orbits in the solar system, taking more than 11 thousand years to complete one revolution around the sun.
Quaoar is also a confirmed dwarf planet candidate with an estimated diameter of about 1110 kilometers (690 miles). Quaoar has one small moon named Weywot and may have had cryovolcanism or ice volcanoes on its surface in the past.

I found peace watching it, great one 👏

[@mostdata]

Thanks 🙏🏼

The oldest discovered are mostly from the Asteroid Belt, whereas the newest are mostly from the Kuiper Belt area near Pluto' neighbourhood, which itself has a spherical moon, Charon. And although they are now moons of the gas giants, through capture, places like Triton and Callisto, would before they were captured, have been dwarf planets.
It probably means that every solar system has a load of dwaft planets, left over its formation.
Many could make great places for space stations in the far future.

We wont see but possible 👍

This was my 🎉last night at home today 🎉🎉so much better when they are not going for me today

Set the playback speed to ×2 to make this interesting but interminably slow video more palatable. I would have like to have seen something like how far a golf ball would travel if hit at the same velocity on each planet. Also perhaps how much a 100kg man would weigh. Yes I know his maths would remain 100 kilos but what would a set of bathroom scales show his weight as?

Hold onto my fur. I like it. When the dogs are barking.

Most poetic comment so far 😃

pallas was discovered in 1802....

Почему по Плутону вы даете диаметр, а по Эриде - радиус?
