Ceres is a dwarf planet. It was located in the main asteroid between Mars and Jupiter.

==Concordance, Etymology, History==
Ceres was discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi on 1 January 1801 at Palermo Astronomical Observatory, Sicily. First, they announced it as a new planet. Then Ceres was classified as an asteroid.

In 2006, Ceres was redesignated as a dwarf planet by IAU.

=== Origin of Constellation ===
Ceres was named after the patron of grain, harvest, and mother love in Roman mythology, which is also the patron goddess of Sicily.
=== Transfer and Transformation of the Constellation ===
==== IAU Nomenclature ====
The IAU considered Ceres as a dwarf planet in 2006 due to the redefinition of the "planet" category. The debate surrounding [[Pluto]] triggered IAU to formulate an official definition of a "planet". Ceres would have nearly become the fifth planet from the Sun had the initial proposal—which required only a spherical shape (hydrostatic equilibrium) and an orbit around a star—been approved.

On August 24, 2006, the IAU added the requirement that a planet must "clear the neighborhood around its orbit." Because Ceres shares its orbit with thousands of other asteroids in the asteroid belt (accounting for only 40% of the belt's mass), it failed to meet this criterion and was officially classified as a dwarf planet.
