What else can I help you with?
When Pluto was found which was more popular Pluto the planet or Pluto the dog?
Pluto was founded by ancient Greek astronomers thousands of years ago. So I'll go with Pluto the planet, despite it now being a dwarf planet.
How long does it take Pluto's moon to go around Pluto?
Pluto's largest moon is called Charon and it takes 6.39 days to travel around Pluto! It is also the largest moon in comparison to its "parent" planet in the solar system! (about half the size of Pluto)
Is Pluto a big planet or small planet?
Pluto is relatively small as planets go; it is officially categorized as a dwarf planet.
Which two planets have only ONE moon?
The only planet in our solar system with exactly one moon is Earth. For a long time Pluto had only one known moon, but is now known to have five moons. As of 2006 Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
Did the planet Pluto go out of existence?
No, it was only reclassified as a dwarf planet
What planet did a space probe not go too?
Pluto. That is now a dwarf planet. :)
When did Pluto go missing?
The dwarf planet Pluto has never gone missing. It's still there.
Why is Pluto classified as a dwarf planet rather than a satellite of Neptune?
It's not in orbit around Neptune, it's in direct orbit around the sun, so is not a satellite or moon of Neptune. Although it their gravitational pulls effect each other, Pluto does not go round and round Neptune.
Where did the planet Pluto go?
Pluto is not "gone", but its planetary status is. its orbital path is not circular enough and by saying that, it does cross neptunes orbital path. that breaks the definition of a planet.
How do the planets go?
The planets go like this (from closest to the sun from farthest): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Pluto is no-longer a planet, but a dwarf planet.
Did Pluto ever go around earth?
All planets (although Pluto is not considered an official planet) revolve around the sun, so it is impossible for a planet to revolve around another planet.
Which planet is sometimes called a double planet?
Charon (1,206 km diameter) is more than half the size of Pluto (diameter 2,274 km). When two objects orbit, like a planet and its moon, they orbit around the shared center of mass, called the barycenter. In most cases, the planet is so much heavier than its moon that the shared center is actually inside the planet, so it's correct to say the moon is orbiting around the planet. In the case of Pluto and Charon, the barycenter is in between the two bodies. This is the reason for calling it a double planet, because neither one really goes around the other, they circle that common center.
