Ceres (dwarf planet)
Ceres ( / ˈ s ɪər iː z / ; [19] minor-planet designation : 1 Ceres ) is the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter , slightly closer to Mars' orbit . Its diameter is approximately 945 km (587 mi), [6] making it the largest of the minor planets within Neptune's orbit . It is the 33rd- largest known body in the Solar System and the only dwarf planet within the orbit of Neptune. [c] [20]

Ceres ( / ˈ s ɪər iː z / ; [19] minor-planet designation : 1 Ceres ) is the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter , slightly closer to Mars' orbit. Its diameter is approximately 945 kilometers (587 miles), [6] making it the largest of the minor planets within the orbit of Neptune . The 33rd- largest known body in the Solar System , it is the only dwarf planet within the orbit of Neptune. [c] [20] Composed of rock and ice, Ceres is estimated to compose approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity (though detailed analysis was required to exclude 4 Vesta ). From Earth , the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking once every 15 to 16 months, [21] hence even at its brightest it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye except under extremely dark skies. |

Ceres ( minor-planet designation 1 Ceres ) / ˈ s ɪər iː z / ( SEER -eez ) [18] is the largest object in the asteroid belt , which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter . It is composed of rock and ice, is 950 km (590 mi) in diameter, containing a third of the mass of the asteroid belt. It is the largest asteroid , and the only dwarf planet in the inner Solar System . It was the first asteroid to be discovered, on 1 January 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi in Palermo, though at first it was considered to be a planet. The unmanned Dawn spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at Ceres in early 2015. |

Template:Infobox Minor Planet Ceres ( IPA: [ˈsiɹiz] , Latin : Cerēs ), also designated 1 Ceres or (1) Ceres (See Minor Planet Names ), is the smallest dwarf planet in the Solar System and the only one located in the main asteroid belt . Its name is derived from the Roman goddess Ceres — the goddess of growing plants and of motherly love. It was discovered on January 1 1801 , by Giuseppe Piazzi . With a diameter of about 950 km, Ceres is by far the largest and most massive body in the asteroid belt, and contains approximately a third of the belt's total mass. Recent observations have revealed that it is spherical, unlike the irregular shapes of smaller asteroids with less gravity. |

Template:Minor Planet 1 Ceres ("SEER eez") was the first asteroid to be discovered, with a diameter of 959.2±4.8 × 932.6±9.0 km. It was discovered on January 1 , 1801 , by Giuseppe Piazzi , and originally named Ceres Ferdinandea after both the mythological figure Ceres ( Roman goddess of plants and motherly love) and King Ferdinand III of Sicily (a.k.a. Ferdinand IV of Naples , who became Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies in 1816 ). King Ferdinand was taking refuge in Palermo at the time, the Kingdom of Naples having been conquered by the French in 1798 . The "Ferdinandea" part was not acceptable to other nations of the world and was dropped. Ceres was also called Hera for a short time in Germany . |
