What else can I help you with?
Can a dwarf planet become a moon?
Yes, a dwarf planet can become a moon if it is captured by the gravitational field of a larger planet. This process can happen when a dwarf planet gets close enough to a planet and is pulled in by its gravity. Once captured, the dwarf planet would then orbit the larger planet as one of its moons.
A dwarf planet was discovered in 2005 where would it be placed in the solar system?
The dwarf planet discovered in 2005 is named Eris. This dwarf planet is located in the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune in the outer solar system.
Is Pluto a moon or a planet?
no it's a dwarf planet I would think that it is a dwarf planet, but its moon, Sharon, is nearly as big as it, so some MAY argue that Sharon is a dwarf planet and Pluto is the moon, but considering Pluto is slightly bigger than Sharon, I would think that Sharon would orbit Pluto rather than Pluto orbiting Sharon.
If you were 11 on earth how old would you be if you were on the dwarf planet Eris?
Since a year on dwarf planet Eris is about 557 Earth years, if you were 11 years old on Earth, you would be about 0.02 years old on Eris.
Is Pluto in the solar system?
Yes and no. It was decided on August 24, 2006 that Pluto be classified a dwarf planet. Because dwarf planets are a subclassification of planet, it would be accurate to call Pluto a planet, in a general setting (bearing in mind, though, that there are 10+ other dwarf planets in our solar system, some larger than Pluto).
What would happen if a dwarf star crashed into a planet?
If a dwarf star crashed into a planet,the planet would likely explode.
Can a dwarf planet become a moon?
Yes, a dwarf planet can become a moon if it is captured by the gravitational field of a larger planet. This process can happen when a dwarf planet gets close enough to a planet and is pulled in by its gravity. Once captured, the dwarf planet would then orbit the larger planet as one of its moons.
How big can a black dwarf planet get?
A black dwarf is not a planet; it is the remnant of a long dead star that has cooled. A black dwarf would range from about 7,000 to 17,000 miles in diameter.
A dwarf planet was discovered in 2005 where would it be placed in the solar system?
The dwarf planet discovered in 2005 is named Eris. This dwarf planet is located in the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune in the outer solar system.
Is Saturn giant or small?
It is giant. If it was small, it would be a dwarf planet instead of a planet.
How long would it take for a spacecraft to travel to a star located 40 lightyears away from Earth?
Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft 40 years to reach a star located 40 lightyears away from Earth.
Is Pluto a moon or a planet?
no it's a dwarf planet I would think that it is a dwarf planet, but its moon, Sharon, is nearly as big as it, so some MAY argue that Sharon is a dwarf planet and Pluto is the moon, but considering Pluto is slightly bigger than Sharon, I would think that Sharon would orbit Pluto rather than Pluto orbiting Sharon.
What planet takes the most to orbit the sun?
Neptune. It would be Pluto, but Pluto is a dwarf planet ( a planet that was a planet, but decided that it wasn't a planet)
What would classify Pluto as a planet?
It isn't a planet. It doesn't exist in the solar system anymore. As a dwarf planet, but not as a proper planet.
What is the common noun for Pluto?
The common noun would be "dwarf planet."
How big does a planet have to be to be considered a dwarf planet?
In order to be classified as a dwarf planet, an object has to be large enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium - that is, forced by gravity into a roughly spherical shape, unlike the odd shapes of asteroids. The lower limit to the size or mass of a dwarf planet is thus much more a matter of observation than formal definition. The size would thus depend upon its mass, the lower limit of which would be dictated by properties of matter. To be considered a proper dwarf planet it would also need to be in solar orbit and not, for example, a moon of another planet; it would further not have cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, as, for example, Pluto has not.
How much would you weigh on Haumea the dwarf planet?
you would weight about 6.4% of what you do on Earth.
