1. Which dwarf planet has the most moons?
2. True/False: Ceres is NOT the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity.
3. The dwarf planet Mr. Pluto is very interested in how humans catorgarized it him. He noticed in his Wikipedia page that he is catorgarized as two things called “plutoid” and “plutino”, so he asked humans, “What’s the difference between plutoid and plutino? This is just so confusing!” (Wow I am so creative)

1. Pluto
2. True? (bc Vesta isn't round, and it's the second largest asteroid?)
3. Plutoids are objects that aren't rocky or gas planets, basically planets that are similar to Pluto. Plutinos are also like Pluto, but they are classified by the way they orbit. Plutinos have simple orbital resonances with Neptune, and have become locked with Neptune's orbit.

Yes except 2.

I know I'm not who you were referring to, but here's a couple of questions.
1. When did Voyager 2 exit the heliosphere?
2. What are the bright spots on Ceres called? What are they made of?
3. Which bodies in our solar system have trojans?
Good luck at competition!
