What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth if Earth were placed in Pluto's orbit?

The magnitude of the force would decrease greatly.


What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Pluto?

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the Sun and Pluto is determined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As Pluto orbits the Sun, its distance varies, affecting the gravitational force. If Pluto moves closer to the Sun, the gravitational force increases; conversely, if it moves farther away, the force decreases. However, since both the Sun and Pluto have relatively constant masses, the primary factor affecting the force is their changing distance.


Is Pluto visible from earth without a telescope?

Pluto's magnitude varies depending on its position in orbit, but is never brighter than 13.65. The dimmest objects visible to the naked eye under perfect conditions are about magnitude 6.5 (the lower the number, the brighter the object). Pluto is about 1000 times dimmer than this. The faintest objects visible with the aid of binoculars are about magnitude 9.5. Pluto is still over 50 times dimmer than this. A telescope would be necessary to see Pluto.

Are there white dwarfs past Pluto?

Yes. All white dwarfs are orders of magnitude farther away than Pluto is.

What is the difference between negative and positive degrees of brightness in stars?

Negative numbers are brighter. Our Sun has an apparent magnitude of -26.73, the Moon around -12. Sirius on the other hand has an apparent magnitude of -1.46, whereas apparent magnitude of Pluto's smallest moons Hydra and Nix is 23.


What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit?

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth would decrease if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit. This is because the force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, so as Earth moved farther away from the sun (as in Pluto's orbit), the gravitational force would weaken.

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.
