How many months long is a year on Pluto?

Answer 1

First, we have to figure out what a "year on Pluto" means.

On earth, we call a "year" the time it takes our planet to revolve one complete trip

around the sun. It takes Pluto 248 of those to make one trip around the sun.

Next, we have to tackle the tougher problem of what a "month" means.

On earth, we used to call it a "month" every time the moon went through a complete

cycle of phases. That's about 29.5 of our days. We don't count months that way

any more, but they're still close.

If you want to count months the same way on Pluto, then you run into two serious

problems right away. 1). Pluto has two moons, and they take different lengths of time

to revolve around the planet, so which one are you going to use to count months ?

2). We don't know the orbital period of either one. So let's use earth months instead.

One year on Pluto is 2,976 earth-months long.

Answer 2

Pluto takes 248 Earth years to complete one orbital revolution around the sun.

Since its discovery in 1930, it has completed a little less than 1/3 of one orbit.

It shouldn't be too hard for you to tote up the hours in 248 years.

Answer 3

The length of a day on Pluto is 6.4 Earth Day The length of a year on Pluto is 248 Earth years.

Answer 4

6 days, 9 hours
