| Unlike most depictions, nearly all known asteroids are spherical in shape. | |
| We have never successfully landed a manmade object on any comets. | |
| For the first fifty years after it was discovered, Ceres was considered a planet. | |
| Although only 5,000 or so comets have been discovered by scientists, estimates have the number in the Solar System as greater than one trillion. | |
| There are comets in our Solar System that originated from outside of the Solar System. | |
| Halley's Comet is the largest comet we've ever discovered. | |
| Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto was named before (and inspired the name of) the dwarf planet. | |
| Halley's Comet is the only comet that could potentially be seen with the naked eye twice in a person's lifetime. | |
| The coma (atmosphere) of comets can extend out to several times the diameter of the Earth. | |
| Despite being the farthest known dwarf planet, Makemake is warmer than all of the outer planets. | |
| Unlike in movies, the asteroid belt is not densely packed or difficult for spacecraft to traverse. | |
| Haumea is the only dwarf planet (besides Ceres) to always be closer to the Sun than Neptune. | |
| Pluto's orbit is so eccentric that it will be closer to the Sun than Uranus in 2025. | |
| More than half of the mass of the asteroid belt is located in Ceres, the largest asteroid. | |
| The Earth's Moon is more massive and larger than every currently known dwarf planet. | |
| By definition, asteroids MUST be no further out than Jupiter. | |
| Pluto's largest moon, Charon, is so large relative to Pluto that some astronomers believe they should be considered a binary system. | |
| Unlike asteroids, comets never collide with planets. | |
| For a brief period of time, Eris was informally known as 'Xena'. | |
| As of 2021, there are officially over seventy official dwarf planets. | |
