How many Ceres can fit in the sun?

Approximately 1.3 million Ceres can fit inside the Sun. Ceres is a dwarf planet in our solar system, while the Sun is a star, which is significantly larger in size and mass compared to Ceres.

How long can a person survive on Ceres?

Without any form of life support or technology to grow food, a person would not survive long on Ceres due to the lack of atmosphere, extreme temperatures, and low gravity. It would likely only be a matter of minutes to hours before succumbing to the harsh conditions.

Why weren't Ceres considered a planet?

Ceres was initially considered a planet when it was discovered in 1801, but as more similar objects were found in the same region of space, it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. This reclassification was due to the realization that Ceres shared many characteristics with other smaller celestial bodies in the asteroid belt, such as irregular shape and lack of dominance in its orbital path.

How much cost would it take to get to Ceres?

The cost to reach Ceres would vary depending on the mission design, spacecraft technology, and launch vehicle used. However, estimates suggest that current mission costs to Ceres could range from hundreds of millions to over a billion dollars.

Can Ceres hit earth?

It would all depend on the mass of the planets, their velocity and density.

If two planets of equal composition collided at medium velocity, then in all likely hood, they would destroy each other sending billions of rocky "asteroids" into the Solar System. However, if they were still molten - as in the beginning of the Solar System - it would most likely result in a slightly larger planet with a very dense core - and possibly one or more extra moons.

How heavy would a cinder block be on Ceres?

Cinder blocks come in different sizes and weights, so in order to answer this question let's assume that the cinder block is a "light weight" version, which weighs about 28lbs here on Earth. Ceres, which is a dwarf planet (or "planetoid"), has a surface gravity of 0.27 m/s^2. Thus, a cinder block would weigh 0.7706lbs on Ceres.

Is xena before Ceres?

Ceres is not a planet in our solar system but rather a dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt, while Xena, also known as Eris, is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt. Therefore, in terms of distance from the sun, Ceres is closer as it is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while Xena (Eris) is further away in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.
