How is Pluto's orbit different from other planets orbits?
Pluto's orbit is longer and slower than other planets.
What planets days last longer than its years?
Pluto(i think)
How is Pluto different from other planets?
It is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets.
Is Pluto closer to the sun?
Pluto is farther from the sun than any of the 8 major planets. There are other dwarf planets farther from the sun than Pluto though.
Why is Pluto very different from the other planets?
Pluto is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets. It also has a very irregular orbit.
What planet moon is larger than the planets Pluto and mercury?
Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter, it is bigger than mercury and also Pluto. Pluto is no longer a planet
How many planets are smaller than Venus?
The planets that are smaller than Venus are: Jupiter, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn. Pluto is no longer on the list
Why does it take Pluto the longest time to make a complete revolution around the sun?
Pluto has the longest orbit in length as it is further away from the sun than the other planets. If we model the orbit of all the planets as perfect circles, we can see that planets further from the sun give orbits which are larger circles, and larger circle have larger circumferences, which are the longer orbits. Even if the planets orbited at the same speed, Pluto would take longer to orbit as it has further to travel. Pluto doesn't orbit at the same speed as other planets - it orbits more slowly. This means it takes even longer to orbit the sun. It orbits more slowly as it is further out and the sun exerts less of a gravitational force on Pluto than on the other planets, and it is this gravitational force which causes objects to orbit around the sun. In fact, the sun exerts 1600 times as much force on Earth than on Pluto.
What planets is Mars larger than?
Mars is larger than Mercury and Pluto, theough the latter is no longer considered a planet.
How are the outer planets similar?
Other than Pluto, they are all made of gas.
Is it true that Pluto properties more closely resemble than of the other planets?
no
Do any of the major planets ever get further away from the sun than Pluto does?
Yes. Sometimes Neptune is father away from the sun than Pluto. Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune's. None of the other seven planets ever get farther away from the sun that Pluto.
