What is the diameter of Pluto to the sun?
The average distance between Pluto and the Sun is about 3.67 billion miles. Pluto's diameter is approximately 1,473 miles.
What would happen if planets didn't rotate?
Well this isn't a very hard question to answer. The Earth is spinning rapidly, now how fast? I'm highly unsure of, let's make a guess say, 16,000MPh-32,000MPh giver take. If the earth were to stop it's rotational orbit around the sun lots of different possibilities could happen.
If the Earth stopped slowly "in it's spinning rotation on it's axis for say" one side of the earth would become frozen to the cruel dark coldness of space, as the other side would become boiling balls hot. Which would make it unmanageable to live. Take one hand you'll boil or burn to death, or freeze it's a lose lose really.
Now if the Earth came to a screaching hault, and stopped on a dime it would have a semi truck effect with a trailer for say. Pretend the truck is the suns gravitational rotation pull which is draging us around. And a deer comes out in front of the truck as it's going 70MPh-90MPh and tryed to make an instent stop. The trailer, "Earth" would start violently moving left to right trying to keep up and everything in it will be violently throwen left to right, up and down, and other directions those boxes and items, "boxes being land, items being living creatures" would be deystroyed and the trailer would detach from the truck "the rotational pull" and go sliding else where.
Now hopefully ones of these options won't happen and it seems logical to me. But I hope this made sense and answered your question.
Is Lebanon bigger than New York City?
No, New York City is bigger than Lebanon in terms of population and area. New York City has a population of about 8.4 million people, while Lebanon has a population of around 6.8 million. New York City also covers a larger area than Lebanon.
Does the name 'Ellie' evolve or come from any of the Greek gods?
Where the name Ellie come from?
The name Ellie originates (comes from) the name Helen.
What is the length of one year compared to the earth in ganymede?
One year on Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, is equivalent to about 7.15 Earth days. Ganymede's orbit around Jupiter is much shorter than Earth's orbit around the Sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days.
Which planets are terrestrial planets and which planets are gas giants?
Earth's solar system has four terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Only one terrestrial planet, Earth, is known to have an active hydrosphere.
During the formation of the solar system, there were probably many more (planetesimals), but they have all merged with or been destroyed by the four remaining worlds in the solar nebula.
Plutoids, objects like Pluto, are similar to terrestrial planets in the fact that they do have a solid surface, but are composed of more icy materials
A gas giant (sometimes also known as a Jovian planet after the planet Jupiter, or giant planet) is a large planet that is not primarily composed of rock or other solid matter. There are four gas giants in our Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Many extrasolar gas giants have been identified orbiting other stars.
Planets above 10 Earth masses are termed giant planets.[1] Below 10 Earth masses they are called super earths or, sometimes probably more accurately for the higher mass examples, "Gas Dwarfs" e.g. as suggested by MIT Professor Sara Seager[citation needed] for Gliese 581c using a model where that exoplanet was mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. The term "gas dwarf" was also used previously by others.[2][3]
Objects above 13 Jupiter masses are called brown dwarfs and these occupy the mass range between that of large gas giant planets and the lowest mass stars.
Both Neptune and Pluto were discovered in the early 20th century. Neptunium and Plutonium were later named after these planets by scientists involved in the discovery of these elements, reflecting the trend of naming newly discovered elements after celestial bodies around that time. The names also carry on the tradition of using Roman mythology in naming elements.
no. Answer: This question cannot be answered without a visit and examination of Pluto. Life adapted to conditions on Pluto may exist. Life from Earth could not exist there without special protective equipment. A possible exception to this statement is the Water Bear or Tardigrade, a very small crittter that can: * at 151 C * at -200 C for extended periods
* at -272 C for minutes (almost absolute zero) * in a vacuum * dehydrated for at least 120 years
When will planets bump into other planets?
Planets in our solar system are on stable orbits and are not expected to collide with each other. However, in the broader universe, planet collisions can occur when two planetary bodies are on a collision course or if a disruption in their orbits leads to a collision. The likelihood of such events depends on various factors, including the density of objects in space and their trajectories.
Why Pluto is put out of solar system?
Pluto is still in our solar system. However it is not considered a planet anymore due to the fact that over the last few decades, powerful new ground and space-based observatories have completely changed previous understanding of the outer Solar System. Instead of being the only planet in its region, like the rest of the Solar System, Pluto and its moons are now known to be just a large example of a collection of objects called the Kuiper Belt. This region extends from the orbit of Neptune out to 55 astronomical units (55 times the distance of the Earth to the Sun).
Astronomers estimate that there are at least 70,000 icy objects, with the same composition as Pluto, that measure 100 km across or more in the Kuiper Belt. And according to the new rules, Pluto is not a planet. It's just another Kuiper Belt object.
How many times does Pluto rotate a day?
Pluto takes more than a day to rotate. It takes about 6.39 Earth days.
How is Pluto's discovery similar to that of Neptune?
Both Pluto and Neptune were discovered by observing deviations in the movement of other planets from what they were calculated to be, and from that calculating where something else should be that was causing those deviations.
What is the small outer planet that has a rocky core?
Mercury is considered the smallest rocky planet in our solar system. It has a rocky core and is closest to the Sun.
What invention helped early scientists discover more planets?
The invention of the telescope by Galileo Galilei in the early 1600s helped early scientists discover more planets. By using telescopes to observe the night sky, astronomers were able to see celestial objects more clearly and detect planets that were previously invisible to the naked eye.
When you say that a planet has a highly eccentric orbit you means that?
The orbit of a planet is highly eccentric when it is more elongated rather than circular. This means the planet's distance from the sun varies significantly throughout its orbit, resulting in periods of being closer and then farther away from the sun.
Which planet takes almost 2 earth years to orbit the sun?
the planet takes almost 2 earth years to orbit the sun is Jupiter
What do you mean when you speak of a substance composition?
A substance's composition is what it is made out of. Koolaid's composition is water and koolaid powder.
Alternatively, it could mean what someone makes, although that is much less common. By that I mean, a song would be a musician's composition.
How does Jupiter take to orbit the sun?
It takes Jupiter just 3 earth days to orbit the sun. Even though Jupiter is many millions of kms farther away than earth from the sun, the suns gravitational pull on Jupiter is more massive as Jupiter is thousands of times larger than the earth.
Which planet revolves very slowly around thesun?
Why does Pluto orbit the sun differently?
Like the planets, Pluto's spin axis stays pointed in the same direction as it orbits the Sun. But unlike all planets except Uranus, Pluto is tipped on its side. The planets' axes of rotation stand more or less upright from the plane of their orbits.
What are Pluto's minor and major gases?
Pluto's minor gases include methane, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen. Its major gas is nitrogen, which makes up the majority of its thin atmosphere.
What temperature in degrees Kelvin is 450 nanometer light?
I just learned this while researching grow lamps today.
The conversion from nm to K is:
SInce I'm typing this out on a computer, and don't really know how to turn on my funny math symbols, I'm going to rewrite the equation below, with everything in the same place, only replacing the funny symbols with other variable symbols that I can reproduce on a regular keyboard.
nm = 2,897,768 / K
In this equation:
nm = nanometers, or peak wavelength
K = Peak temperature, in degrees Kelvin.
2,897,768 = the number that needs to be in the equation according to some big science and math conference where a whole lot of nerds got together and decided things like the number that needs to be in that spot in the equation. I tried to understand it, but I don't know anything about math terminology and am not smart enough to learn about it tonight before I respond to this, so I can't explain why that number exists, only that it has to be there to complete the conversion.
This equation is called Wien's law, and it is actually a lot more complex than I'm making it here, but to use it properly would take more understanding than I have. This method is not as accurate as if you were to use the full equation, but it's so close that most people even simplify it further to nm = 3,000,000 / K, and still consider it accurate enough to be a practical reference tool.
I'll show a few examples.
A light bulb rated at 4500K translates to 644nm.
644 (nm) = 2,897,768 / 4500 (K)
A light bulb rated at 6500K translates to 446nm.
446 (nm) = 2,897,768 / 6500 (K)
A light bulb rated at 10.000K translates to 290nm.
290 (nm) = 2,897,768 / 10,000K
The sun puts out peak radiation at 5778K, which is approximately 502nm.
502 (nm) = 2,897,768 / 5778 (K)
Adversely, to convert the opposite direction, swap the position of the nm and the K to look like:
K = 2,897,768 / nm
The response to your question would look like this: K = 2,897,768 / 450
K = 6,439K
You'll notice that when you make it a little easier on yourself and use 3,000,000 instead of 2,897,768, the result is quite noticeably inaccurate, but I suppose if you needed that much accuracy, you'd be in a lab somewhere doing this yourself instead of asking a moron like me to explain it.
Is Pluto in hydrostatic equilibrium?
Yes, Pluto has been determined to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. Planets must orbit the sun (the first criterion for a planet), and must also be in hydrostatic equilibrium (which Pluto is). Pluto fails the third "planetary entrance test" set by the IAU in that it has not cleared its orbit of debris. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.
Who was Hebe in Greek mythology?
Hebe was the Greek goddess of youth and the cupbearer of the gods. She was the daughter of Zeus and Hera and was known for serving nectar and ambrosia, the food and drink of the gods. Hebe was also seen as a symbol of eternal youth.
What planet takes the longest time to complete one rotation around the sun?
Neptune. It was discovered in 1846, and will not complete its first orbit around the Sun since then until next year, giving it an orbit duration of roughly 165 years.
