How many Plutos can fit into the earth?
none Jupiter is larger than earth----Whilst it is true that Jupiter is large than the earth ( a lot larger!) it's not important hereAbout 170 Plutos would fit into the Earth (using the relative volumes to calculate)For completeness about 1320 Earths fit into Jupiter so 224400 Plutos would fit into Jupiter.Did we mention Jupiter is pretty big? And Pluto pretty small?
How did scientists figure out that Pluto has a moon?
They were able to see it through a powerful telescope.
Does the moons from Pluto has rings?
This is impossible to tell from this distance but probably not. A space craft is due to fly past Pluto in 2015 if Pluto's moon has rings then we will be able to see them.
Is charon a galilean moon?
Charon is a moon of Pluto. [See related question] To be a Galilean moon you have to be one of the four major moons of Jupiter.
How big is the moon and how big is Pluto?
Two questions in one - see related questions.
Which planet has a moon called charon?
Charon is so far away and so small that astronomers are unable to see it from Earth. It is therefore unsure whether Charon has craters but it is likely as every other planet and moon in the solar system has been bombarded by meteors in the past.
Why does Pluto take longer than earth to rotate on its axis?
Pluto is believed to be tidally-locked to its large moon Charon, so that not only does Charon always present the same face to Pluto (as with Earth's Moon), but Pluto's rotation has been slowed to match Charon's orbital speed. The same side of Pluto is always visible from Charon.If this occurred on Earth, where we never see the back side of our Moon, it would mean that the Moon would only be visible from one side of the Earth. Of course, the Earth and Moon are so far apart, and the Earth so much more massive, that this will likely never occur.
What would happen if Pluto rammed into Neptune or one of its moons?
Pluto hitting one of Neptune's moons would probably destroy that moon, leaving a bunch of debris scattered in the area. Over time, that debris would probably collect into a new ring around Neptune.If Pluto hit Neptune, Neptune wouldn't be destroyed. Neptune has 10,000 times the mass of Pluto. There would definitely be some effects on Neptune, probably spraying debris into orbit and creating a new ring or even moon of Neptune. Also, the weather patterns of Neptune would be quite changed, so we'd probably see a bunch of dark spots or other changes to the appearance of Neptune.
What are the names of Pluto's three moon names?
Pluto's three moons are Charon, Nix, and Hydra
Why is Pluto considered a binary system?
Pluto is sometimes referred to as a binary system, because the barycentre of Pluto and it's moon Charon, do not lie within either body. They revolve around a point in space determined by the mass of the planets. See related link for a pictorial
Why is the day longer on Pluto than on earth?
a day is how long it takes the object to revolve one time. Pluto is smaller than the earth but it rotates much slower. The moon revolves around the earth at the same rate it rotates. That is why we see the same side of the moon at all times;
Pluto is it still technically a Planet Its still larger than any moon right?
The term planet is based on a lot more than just size. Otherwise Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter would be a planet as it is bigger than Mercury and Pluto. Pluto is classed as a dwarf planet because it did not comply with the new rules. See related question for the classification.
