A satellite that is rounded by its own gravity but does not have enough gravitational pull to clear its region of other orbiting bodies is called a?
Minor planet.
Pluto was recently downgraded to one. IAU calls them "dwarf planets"
If a dwarf planet is outside the orbit of Neptune, guess what?Plutoids are celestial bodies in orbit around the Sun at a distance greater than that of Neptune that have sufficient mass for their self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that they assume a hydrostatic equilibrium (near-spherical) shape, and that have not cleared the neighbourhood around their orbit."
This sub-category includes Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris.

Therefore, minor planet is the answer. Under minor planet are "dwarf planets" which are rounded, but don't clear their neighborhood. Under "dwarf planets" are Plutoids. So if you refer to Pluto, it is all three.

What does Pluto do that no other planet does?
First of all, it's a dwarf planet: A celestial body orbiting the Sun that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but which has not cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals and is not a satellite. (Wikipedia) It has a greater semimajor axis (39.54 AU), is more steeply inclined to the ecliptic (17.15 degrees), and has a greater eccentricity (0.250) than that of any of the planets. In fact, Pluto's noncircular orbit sometimes takes it nearer the Sun than Neptune. ("Universe: The Solar System" Third Edition, Freedman and Kaufmann.)
Why do many rocks become rounded?
Erosion and weathering will cause rocks to become rounded.
What is gravitational pull and force of all the planets?
Usually the "pull" is given at the surface of the planet. The force reduces with distance. The units are Newtons (unit of force) per kilogram (of the object being pulled) The gravitational force is : (6.67x10-11)x(mass of the planet)x(mass of the object)/(distance between the planet and the object squared) (6.67x10-11 Newton's universal gravitational constant). Masses are measured in kilograms, and distance is measured in metres. Finally here's the answer, in Newtons per kilogram (rounded to the nearest whole number for the giant planets). Different sources may give slightly different numbers : Earth 9.81 Mercury 3.71 Venus 8.90 Mars 3.70 Jupiter 26 Saturn 11 Uranus 9 Neptune 12
What is the rounded factor of 5503?
5500
What is the estimation of 16999?
It can be rounded to 17,000
What makes a darf planet a dwarf planet?
is a celestial body orbiting the Sun that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but has not cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals and is not a satellite. it has to have sufficient mass to overcome its compressive strength and achieve hydrostatic equilibrium. It should not be confused with a minor planet.
What difference of a star and a planet?
A star is a luminous ball of plasma held together by its own gravity and produce energy through thermonuclear fusion. A planet is a body orbiting a star massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but not massive enough to conduct fusion.
What is the number for gravity?
9.80665 m/s2 this is usely rounded to 9.8 m/s2
What is Only 0.18 times that of earth's?
The gravitational acceleration on the surface of Mars is only about 0.38 times that of Earth's, while the gravity on the Moon is approximately 0.16 times that of Earth's gravity. Therefore, when you mention "0.18 times that of Earth's," it closely resembles the Moon's gravity but not exactly. The Moon's gravity is often rounded to 0.16 or 0.17 in various contexts.
What is the Sidereal Period of a geostationary satellite?
23hours 56minutes 4seconds (rounded)
Why all planets are sphare?
The reason planets appear to be spherical is because gravity compresses the planet into a shape that most evenly distributes the gravitational force among the planet's mass. Therefore, it must become rounded, or spherical.
Are stars rounded by gravity?
yes because they levitate in space gravity does hold stars up
How do stars keep their spherical shape?
Stars maintain their spherical shape due to the balance between internal pressure pushing outward from nuclear fusion reactions in the core and gravity pulling inward. This equilibrium creates a stable equilibrium that keeps the star from collapsing under its own gravity and helps to maintain its rounded form.
What is the magnitude of the gravitional force acting on an object?
Magnitude is a scientific way of saying size or number. The gravitational force is the force (measured by Newtons (N)) acting on an object. On earth, the gravitational force is 9.81 Newtons, this can be commonly rounded to 9.8 or even 10, depending on the accuracy required. In laymen's terms, the magnitude of the gravitational force is simply the strength of gravity acting on an object.
Is Mercurys gravity stronger or weaker than earth?
The acceleration of gravity ... and therefor the weight of any object ... on thesurface of Mercury is 37.698% of its value on the surface of Earth. (rounded)
What is the Gravitational Strength on earth?
The strength of gravity on or near the Earth's surfaceis 9.81 Newtons (2.205 pounds) per kilogram of mass.That force causes any freely falling body to accelerate verticallyat the rate of 9.81 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .
What does Pluto do that no other planet does?
First of all, it's a dwarf planet: A celestial body orbiting the Sun that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but which has not cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals and is not a satellite. (Wikipedia) It has a greater semimajor axis (39.54 AU), is more steeply inclined to the ecliptic (17.15 degrees), and has a greater eccentricity (0.250) than that of any of the planets.
