Dwarf Planet Pluto

Pluto's orbit interferes with Neptune's orbit due to their gravitational interactions. This causes their orbits to cross over each other at points, though they do not collide.

Dwarf Planets are bodies that both orbit the sun directly and which are large enough to be approximately spherical in shape. They are not the dominant objects in their orbit though, crossing other orbits of other large bodies. If they were to be found not to do this, being the dominant body at that orbit, then they would be classed as a planet.

The average distance between the Sun and Pluto is about 5.9 billion kilometers. Due to their elliptical orbits, this distance can vary significantly, with the closest approach being around 4.28 billion kilometers and the farthest distance reaching about 7.38 billion kilometers.

Yes, a rocket could theoretically reach Pluto, but it would require a significant amount of time and advanced propulsion technology due to the immense distance between Earth and Pluto. As of now, no spacecraft has been sent directly to Pluto, but the New Horizons mission flew by Pluto in 2015 after a journey of almost 10 years.

The travel time from Afghanistan to Japan can vary depending on the mode of transportation. For a direct flight, it typically takes around 7-9 hours. However, if you're considering other transportation options like train or bus, it could take significantly longer due to the distance and various stopovers required.

The average temperature on Pluto is around -375 degrees Fahrenheit (-225 degrees Celsius). Due to its distance from the Sun, Pluto receives very little sunlight and its thin atmosphere contributes to its extreme cold temperatures.

The New Horizons spacecraft explored Pluto. It launched in 2006 and conducted a flyby of Pluto in 2015, providing the first detailed images and data of the distant dwarf planet.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system. It has a reddish appearance due to iron oxide on its surface and is known for its distinctive polar ice caps and the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons.

In Roman mythology, Pluto, the god of the underworld, did not have children. However, in Greek mythology, Hades, the equivalent of Pluto, is the god of the underworld and his children, if they were mortal, could not come back to life once they entered the underworld.

Pluto was discovered in 1930 by American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. It was considered the ninth planet in the solar system until 2006, when the International Astronomical Union reclassified it as a dwarf planet.

Yes. The four inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars and smaller than the four outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Earth is largest inner planet, and Neptune is the smallest outer planet. Neptune is around 14 times larger in terms of diameter than the Earth. The dwarf planets are all smaller than any of the actual planets.

Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, not a terrestrial planet or a giant gas planet. It is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to terrestrial planets like Earth, but it lacks the characteristics of a true terrestrial planet or a gas giant.

Astronomers believe that Mercury might be the core of what used to be a much larger planet due to its large metallic core relative to its size and lack of a substantial mantle. This hypothesis suggests that a collision with another large body stripped away much of its outer layers, leaving behind the dense core that we observe today.

Uranus is closer to the sun than Pluto. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, while Pluto is considered a dwarf planet and orbits beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.

The larger the radius of your orbit from a common center, the farther the distance you would be traveling around that object as is the case with planets farther from the sun. Substantially, planets have lower masses than the sun, thereby weaker gravitational interaction, lower space velocity, which makes them "creep" slower in their orbits. If you place a star, say the same mass as the Sun in the orbit of Neptune, the time it takes for the two stars to complete one revolution around each other would be shorter.

Kepler-22b is about 620 light years or about 3.6 quadrillion miles away. It works out to the same whether you use Pluto or Earth as a reference point, as our distance to Pluto is tiny compared with our distance to Kepler-22b.

It is not considered a planet anymore, so yes, you could say that.

No.

This is a case of "correlation does not imply causation". In our solar system, the planets closest to the star are terrestrial planets and the planets farther from the star are gas giants. After the gas giants are the dwarf planets which are also terrestrial. That order can easily be changed. In other solar systems it is quite possible that the gas giants would be the planets closest to the star at roughly the same distances as the terrestrial planets are in our solar system.

The dwarf planet discovered in 2004 is Haumea. It was officially recognized as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in September 2008.

They are larger and so they have more gravity.

The first controversy over Pluto is that its orbit is not in the same plane (flat) as the rest of the planets. It also has different characteristics from the other planets. Some think that it is a comet that lost its moisture and was captured by our Sun's gravity.

Neither. A meteor is not a planet. A meteor is a piece of rock or metal falling through the atmosphere.

the closer the smaller orbit (a year is one complete orbit) so the year is smaller
