Facts about the Dwarf Planet Haumea. A day on Haumea lasts 3.9 hours. Haumeaâs characteristic extreme elongation is probably caused by its rotation, which is so rapid it turned it into an ellipsoid. Its rotational speed as well as its collisional origin also make Haumea one of the densest dwarf planets discovered to date.
In September 2008, Haumea was officially recognised as a dwarf planet and announced as such by the relevant governing bodies. As an irregularly shaped body, it rotates faster than any other object of its size. It rotates all the way round on its axis every four hours. It is this quick rotation that is responsible for giving Haumea its unusual elongated shape. It is thought that a massive impact started its rapid spinning and a collision was also most probably responsible for the formation Haumeaâs moons, Hiâaka and Namaka.
