Pluto is colder than any of the planets in our solar system because it is further away from the sun than the planets are. However, Pluto is the second warmest dwarf planet, after Ceres.

Why does the dwarf planet Pluto have a lower temperature than the eight major planets?

Pluto has a lower temperature because it is further from the sun than any of the eight planets.


Which planets has the greatest gravity?

Greatest GravityIn our solar system, the planet with the greatest gravity is Jupiter.and lowest gravity planet is Mercury. (Pluto's gravity is lower than that of Mercury, but Pluto is no longer considered a planet.)Jupiter.


What is Pluto's position in the solar system?

PlutoOut of the "nine" planets that used to make up the Solar system, it was believed that Pluto was the farthest, though it periodically switched places with Neptune... In 1992 astronomers found some small icy objects beyond Neptune, that were similar to Pluto in orbit,size and composition. And thus Pluto is considered the largest member of the Kuiper belt, a somewhat stable ring of objects located between 30 and 50 AU from the Sun.(source -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto#Relationship_with_Neptune)In 2006 the IAU decided to demote Pluto (coined the phrase 'pluto-ed' to lower in value) because it didnt meet the criteria of real planet.


What planet has a temperature of 400 degrees below 0?

Neptune is the planet with an average temperature of about -400°F (-240°C) in its upper atmosphere, making it the coldest planet in our solar system. This extreme cold is due to Neptune's distance from the Sun and its composition of mainly hydrogen, helium, and methane gases.


What is the temperature of other planets when compared to Jupiter's temperature?

Jupiter is very very cold. Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto are all extremely cold. Mars is also cold. Venus is hot and Mercury is very hot. Earth is the only planet we know of where life exists or is likely to exist

Is Pluto weak or strong?

In terms of its physical characteristics, Pluto is relatively small and has a lower gravitational pull compared to the planets in our solar system. Therefore, it could be considered "weak" in that sense. However, Pluto's status as a planet or dwarf planet is not based on its strength but rather on its orbit around the Sun and other criteria defined by the International Astronomical Union.

What is the lightest planet in solar system?

The least massive of the 8 major planets is Mercury. However, Saturn, with its large, deep atmosphere, is the least dense of the planets, and would actually float in water (given a really big container of water).


What is the energy that flows from one object with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature?

It's the heat energy. "The energy can neither be created or nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another". If one system is with higher temperature and if another system of lower temperature is placed, the temperature gradually moves from higher to lower.


Which would lower reaction rate?

Decreasing the temperature of the system


Why are planets closest to the sun largely devoided of lighter elements?

The lighter elements turn to gas at a lower temperature and because of their lack of atmosphere are released from the planets out into space


Why does triethylamine water system has lower consolute temperature?

triethyl amine in water system,it was cool in ice bath,when it cooling temperature is decreases so misibility occurs so graph will come lower consolute temperature


What are earth and the gas giant planets from hottest to coldest?

Venus has the highest average temperatures of any planet in our Solar System, regularly reaching temperatures over 460°C. Mercury is second while the temperature on Mercury can reach 465°C, it can also drop to frigid temperatures of -184°C. Third is Earth the average temperature on Earth is 7.2°C. Fourth is Mars its temperatures can vary by as much as 30°C during the summer in the northern and southern hemisphere. Jupiter At the top of Jupiterâ??s clouds, the temperature is around -145°C.Saturn Like on Jupiter, the temperature in the upper atmosphere of Saturn is cold â?? up to approximately -175°C â?? and increases closer to the center of the planets. Uranus is the coldest planet with a lowest recorded temperature of -224°C. Neptune temperatures dropping to -218°C.
