In what two ways is Pluto like a major planet?
Pluto is like a major planet in that it orbits the Sun and has a spherical shape due to its gravity. It is also composed of rock and ice, similar to the major planets in our solar system.
Two ways in which Pluto is different from the outer planets?
It is extremely small and it has no rings!
What are three ways the inner planets are different ftom the outter planets?
Inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, while outer planets are gas giants. Inner planets are smaller in size and have solid surfaces, while outer planets are larger and lack a solid surface. Inner planets have shorter orbital periods and are closer to the sun, while outer planets have longer orbital periods and are farther from the sun.
What happen to Pluto in the solar system?
Pluto was declared not a planet because it didn't obey one of the three rules that i needed to obey to be a planet. It had to clear its orbits, which Pluto didn't because of its minuscule size. Pluto is approximately the size of half the United States. Also Pluto wasn't the only Pluto floating around in our solar system, apparently there are other kuiper belt objects even bigger than Pluto that are not declared planets. If Pluto was a planet these other Pluto like objects would be too. I hope this helped you!

What is the difference between the gas giants and Pluto?
Pluto differs from the other outer planets in many ways, which is why it is no longer a planet. For example, it isn't a gas giant like the other outer planets. It isn't gassy and is relatively small. Pluto is made out of rock and doesn't have a thick gassy atmosphere like the Jovian planets; it has an icy atmosphere that melts only when near the sun to form an "atmosphere". Pluto doesn't have a quick, rapid spin on its axis like the gas giants. The Jovian planets take only a few hours to make 1 spin on its axis. Pluto takes a few days to spin 360 degrees on its axis. The gas giants all have rings, but Pluto does not. Pluto also has an elliptical orbit more like an asteroid or comet than a planet or gas giant. Pluto is considered a "dwarf" planet since it is small and found in the Kuiper Belt (asteroid belt). Finally, Pluto has only one moon, large compared to Pluto, and the gas giants all have a lot of moons which are small compared to the gas planets.
Ways to remember the order of the planets?
there are many ways to learn the planets or better yet memorize them. The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn. Uranus, Neptune, and pluto. So what YOU have to do is make up a little saying, for instance, Mary Visits Emily Monday and Saturday Under Nicki's Porch. Therefore you can say the saying trying to memorize the planets and there meanings. Whenever you have to remember the saying just think of little sayings or think of a song, anything to help you know the planets. So I think that you should try something a little deifferent each time you have to memorize something like the planets. -elycia Williams-

How are planets different?
There are many ways the planets are different. One way is that they all have different gravity levels, they are all different shapes and sizes. Lastly that they are different temperature, and different material.
Does Pluto exerts a noticeable gravitational influence on Uranus?
no. Edit: It depends what you mean by noticeable, of course. Astronomers have very accurate ways of measuring orbits these days and the effect will be measurable, I'm sure. But it probably isn't very important.
What are the two major ways that the terrestrial planets and the jovian planets differ?
Terrestrial planets are small, rocky, and have solid surfaces, while jovian planets are large, gaseous, and lack solid surfaces. Jovian planets also have thick atmospheres composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, while terrestrial planets have thinner atmospheres with varying compositions.
Describe two ways earth is like the other planets in our solar system?
it is a planet and it has a similar shape like the rest of the planets.
Why was Pluto disqalified?
I assume you mean "as a planet".The main reason is that the more you study the solar system the more obvious it becomes that Pluto just doesn't deserve the name. Everything else that was considered to be a planet was by far the largest thing anywhere near its orbit.Earth shares its orbit with its satellite the Moon, about two orders of magnitude less massive, and that's the closest any of the actual planets get to having something else of significant relative mass near their orbit. Pluto's orbit crosses that of Neptune, which is about three orders of magnitude more massive. Neptune is just behind Earth with something in its orbit that's about 2.5 orders of magnitude smaller... not Pluto, but its own moon Triton, which is noticeably larger than Pluto is.Not only does Pluto's orbit cross Neptune's, it turns out there's a lot of rock that spends most of its time out beyond Neptune, and Pluto is just the biggest chunk we've happened to find so far (and not by much at best; Eris is roughly the same size, and may even be larger).Lumping Pluto in with the planets when we thought it was the size of Earth made sense.Calling it a planet when we discovered it was maybe as big as Mars stilll made sense.Calling it a planet when it became clear that not only was it not as big as Mercury, but not as big as the Moon? Ludicrous.The IAC definition of "planet" seems a bit arbitrary in some ways, but realistically planets are kind of like pornography: it's hard to define, but we know it when we see it, and Pluto ain't it.
