Does the solar sytem have any more planets?
some scientist have an answer they say that Pluto is not an planet but a comet also they say there are eleven planets
How do you say Pluto in Hebrew?
Pluto is Pluto in Hebrew פלוטו
Why does Pluto orbit the sun differently?
Like the planets, Pluto's spin axis stays pointed in the same direction as it orbits the Sun. But unlike all planets except Uranus, Pluto is tipped on its side. The planets' axes of rotation stand more or less upright from the plane of their orbits.
How Many planets are there that are known?
Nobody knows. There is no estimation of how many stars there are and how many stars have planets. In our Solar System, since Pluto got downgraded to a 'dwarf planet' there are eight. Pluto was always weird -- an eccentric orbit at a weird tilt, way off from the others. So it mostly makes sense to say eight. A lot of people got upset, but we haven't heard a word from Pluto. In recent years, many planets were discovered orbiting other stars, they are known as exoplanets. There are about 350 known exoplanets, and the number is growing all the time.
Is it true that the orbits of Pluto and Neptune overlap each other at times?
Despite the fact that Pluto and Neptune temporarily change places in their distance from the Sun, they will never collide. This is due to two reasons: First, Pluto's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic by 17 degrees. So even though we say their orbits "cross," Pluto is actually quite a distance "above" Neptune. Secondly, Pluto orbits the Sun twice for every three orbits of Neptune. The two planets are said to be in a "resonance orbit." For such orbits, the two bodies never get close to each other. In fact, the closest the two planets come to each other is 2 billion kilometers.
Why do scientists say Pluto is usually the ninth planet?
No scientists say that. Scientists know that Pluto is a dwarf planet, and not one of the 8 major planets of our solar system.

What is the outer planets not a gas giant?
Pluto is not a planet so you cant really say that all of the outer planets are made of gasses the inner planets are made of solid materials
Is there other planets in this solar systems?
there is more planets in our solar systems but scientist do not say they are real for example there is one farther then pluto called setna
Which two planets have one known moon?
An answer from an old textbook would say that those planets are Earth and Pluto. Now only Earth fits that criterion as Pluto is no longer considered a planet and is now known to have five moons.
What are the names of the planets behind the sun?
We are constantly orbiting around the sun, so there are no planets behind the sun. If you want to know the names of the planets in our solar system, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. However, some people do not consider Pluto to be a planet, because of its odd intersecting orbit with Neptune. Some scientists say that Pluto is a stray asteroid that came into orbit with our sun. - Robbie
Are planets made of cheese?
No. The planets Mercury through Mars are rocky, and are solid. Planets Jupiter through Neptune are huge balls of gas. Pluto (Which I will always regard as a planet regardless of what other scientists say), is also a rocky planet.
How do you say Pluto in Hebrew?
Pluto is Pluto in Hebrew פלוטו
Which planets have not been visited by a spacecraft?
Depends on whether you say Pluto is a planet or not. If you say it isn't, then there are no planets that haven't been visited by a spacecraft. If you say it is, then there is one that hasn't been visited yet, but one is on the way.

Is Pluto just a rock that got caught in the orbit?
Pluto is not a planet.scientists say it is dead but it is only a rock that got caught in the solar system.followed to charon and 2003 UB they are all known as dwarf planets,but before we go that farther, for now the awnser is NO.
Why is there only 8 planets now?
As Pluto, a dwarf planet, is no longer counted as a planet, there are now only 8 known planets in our solar system.It remains to be seen if the discovery of extra-solar planets affects how we classify objects within our solar system. Several hundred likely planets have been detected orbiting other stars, with the possibility that there are other solar systems like our own. By late 2011, a total of 599 exoplanets had been identified and another 1235 were pending corroboration.Status of PlutoPluto is a dwarf planet in the solar system and the prototype of a yet-to-be-named family of Trans-Neptunian objects. From its discovery in 1930 until 2006, it was considered the ninth and smallest of the planets of the Solar System, both by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the general public. After much debate, the IAU decided on August 24, 2006 to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, requiring that a planet must "clear the neighborhood around its orbit." Further observations may also affect the definition of Charon as a moon of Pluto, possibly the classification of the two as a binary planet.
