  1. how are asteroids different from dwarf planets?

asteroids are not generally spherical.
asteroids do not orbit the sun.
asteroids have not cleared their orbit.
asteroids are found between mars and jupiter.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Dwarf planets are defined by being spherical (hydrostatic equilibrium), orbiting the Sun, and not clearing their orbit. Asteroids are typically irregularly shaped (not spherical), orbit the Sun, do not clear their orbit (like dwarf planets), and many are in the asteroid belt but not all. The key difference here is shape: asteroids are not generally spherical, while dwarf planets are.

Answer:

A. Asteroids are not generally spherical.
