what Pluto, the dwarf planet, is 5.9 billion kilometers from the Sun. Explain how a model showing the gravitational pull on Pluto would differ from your model of Earth’s orbit.?
The distance between the Sun and Earth is 149,600,000 kilometers, and the distance between the Sun and Pluto is 5.9 billion kilometers. The gravitational pull decreases with an increase in distance. So, the gravitational pull of the Sun on Pluto is much less than its pull on Earth. So, in the model, Pluto’s orbit would have a much larger radius than Earth’s orbit.
How many miles is Pluto from the Earth?
When I was a kid Pluto was closer to the sun than Neptune. Now it is further away. The distance between Pluto and earth will vary as Pluto orbits the sun--Pluto's orbit is fairly eccentric. At aphelion (furthest distance from the sun) Pluto is 48.871 AU (average earth/sun distance) from the sun. That is 4.542 billion miles. When the earth is on the opposite side of the sun, that would maximize the distance to Pluto at close to 4.635 billion miles (4.542 billion plus 93 million). Pluto will reach its next maximum distance from us in 2113, just over a century from now (2012). At its closest Pluto is 29.657 AU from the sun, or 2.757 billion miles. Some time during 1989 earth and Pluto were lined up on the same side of the sun, and the distance between them was minimized to roughly 2.664 billion miles.
What color or colors would you use to describe Pluto?
blue
What unit would you use to describe the distance between the Earth and Neptune?
Light years
What units are for distance between stars?
The correct unit to describe the distance between stars is the "light year", the distance a photon of light would travel (through a vacuum) in a year.
How long would it take Pluto at its farthest distance away from the sun to orbit the sun if it was traveling at 62500 miles per second?
The distance of Pluto doesn't matter, since the orbit would be the same no matter how fast Pluto travels.The orbit of Pluto is about 22,698,700,000 miles long. if Pluto traveled that distance at 62500 miles per second, it would take 363179.2 seconds or about 100 hours to orbit the Sun.
What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit?
The magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth would decrease if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit. This is because the force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, so as Earth moved farther away from the sun (as in Pluto's orbit), the gravitational force would weaken.
Which region is it in if the orbit of a comet is 500 times the distance between Pluto and the Sun Explain how you know?
it would be down your pants and will exploed after 0.1
Why is the distance between Pluto and the sun is measure in light hours?
The distance between Pluto and the sun is so vast that it is more practical to measure it in light hours rather than traditional units like kilometers or miles. Light takes about 5.5 hours to travel from the sun to Pluto, so using light hours helps to better represent the immense scale of this distance.
How long would it take to get to Pluto by foot?
Because if its highly elliptical orbit, out distance to Pluto varies considerably between about 2.7 and 4.6 billion miles. The average human walking speed is about 3 miles per hour. At that speed it would about 100,000 to 170,000 years to reach Pluto.
What is the distance betwen earth and Pluto?
At its closest, Pluto is around 4,436,824,613 km from the sun. Taking off the earth to sun distance of 150 million km, the closest that Pluto will get to earth is around 4,286,800,000km. At its furthest Pluto would be around 6,050,000,000km from earth
What do the sun look like from the surface of the Pluto?
From the distance of Pluto, the Sun would look like a very bright star.
