Dwarf Planet Pluto

charon has a gravitational pull that is equal to which earth has a gravitational field on charon. still the charon has a gravitational pull that can pull earth a centimeter distance away from the earth yearly but we all studied about law of conservation of center of mass you might have understood why i have taken this topic earth is not moving away from the sun...

Pluto was not exactly down graded, it was reclassified. The reason for this is since Pluto was discovered, we have learned more about our solar system and discovered more objects (some larger than Pluto) that orbit the Sun. This new knowledge means that it is more sensible to group Pluto in with these new discoveries than to classify it as a planet.

Pluto was the "Ninth Planet", and there was incredible competition among astronomers to find the "Tenth Planet". One team had even picked out a name - "Xena" - as being perhaps appropriate. (That the entire team were big fans of Lucy Lawless and the "Xena - Warrior Princess" TV program probably goes without saying.)

Several candidate bodies had been identified, but the International Astronomical Union decided to come up with a formalized definition of "planet", which had never existed before. Each of the potential "Tenth Planet" candidates were as large as or larger than Pluto, so the IAU devised a definition that excluded them all, and stripped Pluto of its planetary status at the same time.

The first two requirements are pretty obvious; it has to orbit the Sun and be massive enough for gravity to have crushed it into a more-or-less spherical shape.

But the third criteria, that it have cleared its orbit of other objects, could exclude the Earth from planet-hood as well. As we've seen over the past few years and especially on February 15, 2013, there are a LOT of other objects in our orbit. Case in point; the asteroid Apophis, which comes fairly close to the Earth every seven years.

Astronomers are enormous geeks, as you can probably tell. "Apophis", in addition to being a minor Egyptian diety, was the prime villain in the TV series "Stargate - SG1", which was a favorite of the team that discovered it.

The ice covering Pluto is primarily made of frozen methane and nitrogen, giving it a bluish tint, while the ice covering Charon is mostly composed of water ice. Additionally, the surface of Pluto undergoes seasonal changes due to its elliptical orbit, while Charon's surface remains more stable.

The planet Neptune is the coldest planet in our solar system, apart from Pluto. It has an average temperature of -353°F (-214°C) and is located far from the Sun, which contributes to its frigid conditions.

No, dwarf planets like Pluto are too small and lack the necessary conditions for human habitation. They are typically cold, have thin atmospheres, and lack liquid water, which are crucial for sustaining life.

The discovery of other similar objects to Pluto in more recent years has meant that astronomers either had to keep adding planets to the list, or we had to redefine what a planet actually was.

In 2006, a new definition for a planet was established. It had to be approximately round, it had to orbit the sun and it had to have cleared its neighbourhood of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there were no other sizable bodies.

Pluto is not large enough to have done the latter, while all other remaining planets have, so it was downgraded to a dwarf planet. There are now eight planets recognised and five Dawrf planets, of which Pluto is one.

An Earth year takes approximately 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the Sun. This is also why we have a leap year every four years to account for the extra quarter of a day.

No, being 5 feet tall does not classify someone as a dwarf. Dwarfism is a medical condition that involves short stature resulting from a genetic or medical condition. The average height for an adult with dwarfism is 4 feet 10 inches or shorter.

New Horizons is a NASA space probe that passed by Pluto in July 2015, providing close-up images and data about the dwarf planet. It is currently continuing its journey through the Kuiper Belt, studying other objects in the outer solar system.

Pluto was declared not a planet because it didn't obey one of the three rules that i needed to obey to be a planet. It had to clear its orbits, which Pluto didn't because of its minuscule size. Pluto is approximately the size of half the United States. Also Pluto wasn't the only Pluto floating around in our solar system, apparently there are other kuiper belt objects even bigger than Pluto that are not declared planets. If Pluto was a planet these other Pluto like objects would be too. I hope this helped you!

No, the orbits of planets in our solar system do not intersect in space. Each planet follows its own unique path around the Sun, and these paths are well separated and do not cross each other. Any apparent intersection of orbits is only in the two-dimensional view from Earth and not in three-dimensional space.

The time it takes to do 5000 sit-ups can vary greatly depending on individual fitness level, technique, and pace. On average, it could take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours to complete 5000 sit-ups in a continuous session. It's important to listen to your body and take breaks as needed to prevent injury.

No. Pluto is still perfectly intact. It was, however, demoted as it does not meet the new definition of a planet.

Eris is the largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System, and the ninth-largest body known to orbit the Sun directly. It is approximately 2,500 kilometres in diameter and 27% more massive than Pluto. It is named after the Greek goddess of strife and discord.

Astronomers have a specific definition of what separates a planet from a comet from a dwarf planet. The main thing I heard about Pluto is that it and its moon, Charon, orbit each other. One does not orbit the other. It's complicated and doesn't really matter.

The name of Pluto's newest moon is S/2012 (134340) 1. It was announced on July 11, 2012 that a team of astronomers, using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, discovered the new moon. The astronomers discovered the moon by using nine sets of images taken by the Wide Field Camera 3 fitted to the Hubble Telescope between June 26, 2012 and July 9, 2012. The moon is estimated to be an irregular shape and 6 to 15 miles across.

If someone swallows a quarter, it typically takes around 2-5 days for it to pass through the digestive system and be eliminated in the stool. However, the exact time frame can vary depending on factors such as individual digestion and any potential obstructions. It's recommended to seek medical attention if there are any symptoms of blockage or discomfort.

Most MBA's take about 6 years to complete. Some people take longer to get depending on your ambition and your financial situation. You should meet with the school's guidance counselor and set up a timeline to follow.

because it is to small like a asteroid so it not a planet

About 1.953125 x 1011 or 195,312,500,000 times.

The mass stays the same, only the weight changes.

Weight is a function of gravity so:

W=mg where W=weight, m=mass and g=gravitational acceleration.

An average giraffe weighs on Earth about 2,200lbs.

On the Moon is would weigh about 365.2lbs, whereas on Jupiter is would weigh about 5200.8lbs.

If you are referring to a high school diploma online, then there are some public and private schools that allow a person to take classes at their own pace. Each course needs to be completed within one year. If you are 16 or older, you can do GED prep work online and then take the GED test. This route could get you a diploma within 15 days.

Images of Pluto's surface were captured by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft during its flyby in 2015. The spacecraft used its onboard instruments, including cameras and spectrometers, to gather detailed information about Pluto's surface features. These images were then transmitted back to Earth for further analysis and mapping.

It is pronounced as \NEE-buh-roo\ or \NIH-buh-roo.
