How many dwarf planets exist in our solar system?
There are 5 dwarf planets in our solar system.
With the reclassification of Pluto in 2006, our solar system now contains five dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Eris, and Makemake. All of these planets are located in the outer solar system, either near or in the Kuiper belt, with the exception of Ceres, which is located in the asteroid belt, roughly halfway between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Other planets that may be dwarf planets but have not yet been classified as such have been discovered.
A dwarf planet differs from a planet in that the former have not yet cleared the area surrounding their orbit, while the latter have.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
