Question

jasmine is late to science class and misses the very beginning of notes for the day. these are jasmines notes:
-round objects that orbit the sun
-not large enough to have enough gravitational pull to clear the path of their orbit
-4 known in the kuiper belt (eris, haumea, makemake, and pluto)
-1 in the asteroid belt (ceres)
jasmine later copied the title of the notes from a friend. what title did jasmine most likely copy?
comets
the kuiper belt
asteroids
dwarf planets

Explanation:

• Comets are icy bodies with tails when near the Sun, not matching the notes.
• The Kuiper Belt is a region, not the objects described.
• Asteroids are irregular - shaped (mostly), not round as in the notes.
• Dwarf planets are round, orbit the Sun, can't clear their orbital path. Ceres (asteroid belt) and Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Pluto (Kuiper Belt) are dwarf planets.

Answer:

Dwarf Planets
