Summary

DescriptionSolar System true color.jpg	English: Finally... the true color of the Solar System! Dwarf planets are sorted by radius ascending from top down, with four main classifications from right to left: Asteroid belt (Ceres, above the Jovian moons), Kuiper belt (Orcus, Quaoar, Makemake, Haumea, Pluto), scattered disk (Gonggong, Eris), and detached objects (Sedna). Dwarfs are at a larger scale than the moons.
