Pluto orbits the Sun at a distance of 4.4 to 7.4 billion kilometers (29 to 39 AU). At its closest positions (approximately 8% of its elliptical orbit) it is closer to the Sun than the planet Neptune. This wide spherical expanse of space is called the Kuiper Belt, and contains many objects of asteroidal size (some are mostly frozen gases). (see related question)

What is The acceleration due to gravity on Pluto is less than that on the Earth. The mass of a person on Pluto will be .?

The mass of a person on Pluto remains the same as on Earth, as mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location. However, the weight of that person, which is the force of gravity acting on their mass, would be less on Pluto due to its lower gravitational acceleration. Consequently, a person would weigh significantly less on Pluto compared to Earth.


What is the temperature of Pluto in Fahrenheit degrees?

The average temperature on Pluto is about -375 degrees Fahrenheit. However, temperatures can vary depending on factors such as location and time of year.


Is Pluto farther than infinity?

Pluto is somewhere around 6 billion kilometers from Earth. 6 billion is less than infinity. Pluto is much closer than any of the stars you see at night, and those are much closer than the other galaxies. On the scale of the universe, Pluto is pretty close.

What is the location and distance of Pluto?

Firstly, Pluto actually has an oval-shaped orbit so you can not determine the the distance from the Sun because it will be different. Secondly, because of the egg-shaped orbit Pluto crosses over from Neptune making Neptune the 9th planet and Pluto the 8th planet. Hope this helps! :)

Why is Pluto in a class of it's own?

there are many reasons. -pluto is way smaller -pluto has a very elliptical orbit that crosses Neptune's path. -pluto has an orbit that is tilted about 17 degrees. these are only a few of the reasons. hope it helps!
