If the Moon was orbiting the Sun instead of the Earth, would it be classified as a planet or a dwarf planet ?

If it was orbiting amongst a collection of similarly sized bodied and didn't have enough mass to gravitationally affect them and toss them out of that orbit, then it would be classified as a dwarf planet. Like Pluto and Charon cannot clear out their orbit of other Kuiper Belt objects. Yes, it's a dodgy definition, but it works for the time being until there's a better one!
