Dwarf planets are round for the same reason planets are, gravity, but share their orbit with other bodies a full planet would have swept aside or absorbed.
At 1,632 km across, Haumea is 13 percent of the diameter of Earth.
Its mass is less than a thousandth of the mass of Earth.
It keeps an average distance of 43.13 AU from the Sun, so sunlight takes 6.0 hours to reach it.
A single orbit takes 284 years.
An average temperature of 32 K works out at -241 degrees Celsius, colder than the 15 degrees Earth averages.
2 moons are known to orbit it.
It has been on record since 2004.
