A scientist discovers a new body between the orbit of Neptune and the Kuiper Belt. The object is round and travels in an orbit around Neptune with other space objects. The scientist claims that she has found a new dwarf planet. Where is the scientist’s error?

Respuesta :

Dwarf planets revolve around the sun (regardless of their size) as other planets do (ex. Pluto)

Because this body orbits around another planet, Neptune, and is with the Kuiper Belt, I would assume it is actually a moon
