Pluto is believed to be tidally-locked to its large moon Charon, so that not only does Charon always present the same face to Pluto (as with Earth's Moon), but Pluto's rotation has been slowed to match Charon's orbital speed. The same side of Pluto is always visible from Charon.
If this occurred on Earth, where we never see the back side of our Moon, it would mean that the Moon would only be visible from one side of the Earth. Of course, the Earth and Moon are so far apart, and the Earth so much more massive, that this will likely never occur.
What else can I help you with?
Pluto how many time needed to rotate on its axis?
Pluto rotates much more slowly than Earth so a day on Pluto is much longer than a day on Earth. A day on Pluto is 6.4 Earth days or 153.3 hours long.
How long for it to rotate on axis for Pluto?
Pluto rotates on its axis once approximately every 6.4 Earth days. This slower rotation period is one of the contributing factors to its unusually long day length.
How many times does Pluto rotate a day?
Pluto takes more than a day to rotate. It takes about 6.39 Earth days.
How much longer is the major axis of Pluto orbit than the majior axis of earth orbit?
The major axis of Pluto's orbit, which is its semi-major axis, is approximately 5.9 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles), while Earth's semi-major axis is about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles). This means Pluto's orbit is significantly longer, roughly 39 times the length of Earth's orbit.
