To the best of our knowledge, no satellites or robots have directly explored the planet Haumea. Haumea is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune, and its distance from Earth makes it challenging to send a mission there. Most of our knowledge about Haumea comes from observations made by telescopes on Earth.
The temperature is less than 5K c, or -402 degrees Fahrenheit
The dwarf planet Haumea has an average of -241 degrees Celsius, although if you are looking for the highest and lowest temperatures, I have been searching for more than two hours because I also need the answer for the sixth grade project, so sorry for that. Maybe it is undetermined. All answers are vague. Sorry for that, good luck with your research, people or person who are/is reading this. Sorry also for depressing you about it. Ugh, I'm saying sorry way too much! Gotta get out more.
It varies from about 5.2 million km to 7.7 million km. It was at aphelion in 1992 and has since been getting closer, though since its orbital period is about 280 years it's still pretty close to the maximum distance.
Haumea is named after the Hawaiian goddess of childbirth. Its two known moons, Hi'iaka and Namaka, are also named after characters of Hawaiian mythology.
In terms of mass, it is about one-third that of Pluto. Its radius is only about 20 km less than that of Pluto, making them very similar in size, though Haumea is very different in shape. Pluto is much more spherical, while Haumea is more oblong.
A day on Haumea is very short, since its rotational period is just 3.9155 hours. It takes 284.12 Earth-years (103774 Earth-days) for it to completely orbit the Sun, which means there are 636,081.216 Haumean days in one Haumean year.
Yes, according to the current definitions, Pluto is considered a "dwarf planet" along with 4 other dwarf planets.
Haumea's orbit is oval shaped, taking it from 34.72 AU out to 51.54 AU from the sun. Currently it's about 50 AU from the sun.
The equatorial surface gravity on the Plutoid dwarf Haumea is estimated at 0.44 m/s2 .
That's 4.49% of Earth's. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth and somehow scored
a ride to Haumea, you'd weigh just about 9 pounds there.
Since one year on Haumea equals 284.12 Earth-years, any human living there would be less than a year old. Even the longest-lived humans would be less than a half year old.
A day on Haumea is very short compared to here on Earth. Haumea's rotational period is just 3.9155 hours.
The surface of Haumea is chiefly crystalline water ice. Recent models suggest that 66-80% of its surface is covered in it, with the rest being rocky.
Haumea makes a complete rotation in just 3.9155 hours, making its day very short compared to Earth's.
As far as we know, Haumea does not have an atmosphere, so there would be no wind.
Haumea appears very bright, since 65-80% of its surface is covered in crystalline water ice. The rest is probably rocky. A large dark red area was seen in September 2009, possibly a large crater or other impact feature. In shape, it is ellipsoidal, resembling a rugby ball or an American football.
