Which planet in the solar system has the moon Pandora orbiting it in the movie Avatar?
Pandora is a small moon of Saturn discovered by Voyager 1 in 1980. It is about 100 kilometres in diameter, without an atmosphere and nothing like the one depicted in the movie Avatar. That Pandora is a fictional lush, Earth-like moon of the fictional planet Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri star system.

RafaPandora's atmosphere is similar to Earth's in the fact that there is an oxygen-nitrogen base, but other gasses make the air toxic to humans. Pandora's air contains over 18% more carbon dioxide, as well as a concentration of hydrogen sulfide; both make the air unsuitable for humans. There is also a 5.5% concentration of xenon in the atmosphere, a heavy gas which contributes to Pandora's air being about 20% denser than Earth's. Humans out on the surface make use of an exopack which filters out the toxic gasses.

What is the setting in avatar?

In the movie 'Avatar' how long does it take to get from Earth to Pandora?
In the fictional universe of Avatar, the moon Pandora orbits the planet Polyphemus, located in the Alpha Centauri star system. The moon is about 4.4 light years from Earth. Using the developed interstellar ships utilizing hybrid fusion and matter-antimatter power sources, the travel time from Earth to Pandora is about 6 Earth years.

What causes the Hallelujah Mountains to float in 'Avatar'?
The system in which Pandora is located in is quite different than our own. Many things affect the magnetic fields on Pandora. Massive amounts of the superconductive element Unobtainuim is located beneath the surface; this element can both repel magnetic fields and trap them within itself. With the presence of this element, along with the proximity to the gas giant Polyphemus, the planet Pandora orbits, and the interaction of their respective magnetic fields, Pandora is home to erratic and intense magnetic field activity. The Hallelujah Mountains themselves are thought to be volcanic rock that was repelled from the surface by very high amounts of magnetic field activity, and cooled in midair. The chunks themselves are rich in Unobtainium and are constantly caught in a magnetic flux between the field from the Unobtainium in the craters on the surface and the mutual magnetic repulsion of the Unobtainium within the broken away pieces. This causes them to hover in midair.
