Meet the Dwarf Planet Lyrics:
CHORUS: Let’s go meet the dwarf planets
There are five in our solar system
Let’s go meet the dwarf planets
Now I’ll go ahead and list them
I’ll name them again in case you missed one
There’s Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake and Haumea
They haven’t broken free from all the space debris
There’s Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake and Haumea
They’re smaller than Earth’s moon and they like to roam free
I’m the famous Pluto – as many of you know
My orbit’s on a different path in the shape of an oval
I used to be planet number 9,
But I break the rules; I’m one of a kind
I take my time orbiting the sun
It’s a long, long trip, but I’m having fun!
Five moons keep me company
On our epic journey
Charon’s the biggest, and then there’s Nix
Kerberos, Hydra and the last one’s Styx
248 years we travel out
Beyond the other planet’s regular rout
We hang out in the Kuiper Belt
Where the ice debris will never melt
CHORUS
My name is Ceres, and I’m closest to the sun
They found me in the Asteroid Belt in 1801
I’m the only known dwarf planet between Jupiter and Mars
They thought I was an asteroid, but I’m too round and large!
I’m Eris the biggest dwarf planet, and the slowest one…
It takes me 557 years to travel around the sun
I have one moon, Dysnomia, to orbit along with me
We go way out past the Kuiper Belt, there’s so much more to see!
CHORUS
My name is Makemake, and everyone thought I was alone
But my tiny moon, MK2, has been with me all along
It takes 310 years for us to orbit ‘round the sun
But out here in the Kuiper Belt… our adventures just begun
Hello my name’s Haumea, I’m not round shaped like my friends
I rotate fast, every 4 hours, which stretched out both my ends!
Namaka and Hi’iaka are my moons, I have just 2
And we live way out past Neptune in the Kuiper Belt it’s true!
CHORUS
Now you’ve met the dwarf planets, there are 5 of them it’s true
But the Solar System is a great big place, with more exploring left to do
Keep watching the skies above us with a telescope you look through
Because the next person to discover one… could be me or you…
