I believe that most of us know that Pluto is the one dwarf planet in our Solar System. However do you know that there are three more dwarf planet discovered in our Solar System? They are called Ceres, Eris and Makemake. Recently, a new dwarf planet has been discovered and Haumea is its name. So, there are 5 dwarf planets in our Solar System now.
