Is there life on Eris the dwarf planet?

Eris is way too cold for life to exist. Life needs energy, and there is very little energy on such a small object so far from the sun. In fact, the same gases that make up earth's atmosphere are frozen solid on Eris.

What is the difference between a bound orbit and an unbound orbit around the Sun?

A bound orbit is a closed path around the Sun where an object is gravitationally bound to the Sun, like the planets in our solar system. An unbound orbit is when an object travels past the Sun once and does not return, like a comet that enters the solar system from afar and leaves after its close approach to the Sun.

How long has Twitter been around?

Twitter was launched in March 2006, making it around 15 years old as of 2021.

What were the names of all the probe sent to Pluto?

Actually, no probes have ever been sent to Pluto. Even Voyager 1 and 2, which flew beyond the orbit of pluto in 1989, didn't do a fly-by of the planet (it was elsewhere in it's orbit at that time, and there were no plans to visit Pluto anyways).

How the planet alignment will affect planet earth?

Nobody actually knows what is actually going to happen on 12/21/2012 but most believe nothing but what the myans belevied was a solar allingment will change the poles.

Why is Pluto called a dwarf planet andnot a real planet?

Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet because it has not cleared its orbit of other debris, unlike the eight classical planets that have. Also, its size and characteristics are more similar to other objects in the Kuiper Belt rather than the traditional planets in our solar system.

Why do planets moons have moons rotation?

I will assume you mean "why do the moons of planets rotate?"

this is because the moon has mascons (mass concentrations). these mascons are attracted by the planet more than the rest of the moon, so these parts of the moon always face towards the planet, meaning that the moon rotates

IS it really 146 km from the earth to sun?

The average distance from Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). This distance can vary slightly due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Described as a dirty snowball what is composed of ice frozen gases and rock?

A dirty snowball is a comet, which is composed of ice, frozen gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia), and rock. When a comet travels close to the Sun, the heat causes the ices to vaporize, creating the tail that we see from Earth.

Does Pluto exit or not?

Yes Pluto is considered a planet. but some people belive otherwise stupid billy

If the sun was a beach ball how big would Pluto be?

If the Sun were the size of a beach ball, Pluto would be about the size of a small pea or a grain of sand, located over 30 meters away from the beach ball. This size comparison showcases the vast difference in dimensions between the Sun and the dwarf planet Pluto.

What is the highest and lowest temperature on Pluto?

The surface of Pluto can range from a low temperature of 33° Kelvin (-240° C or -400° F) to a high temperature of 55° Kelvin (-218° C or -360 °F). The average surface temperature on Pluto is 44° Kelvin (-229°C or -380° F).

How does Neptune rate in terms of other planets in terms of sizes?

Neptune is the fourth largest planet in our solar system, after Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. It has a diameter of about 49,244 kilometers, making it slightly smaller than Uranus.

What is the name of the cloud with frozen comets that is by Pluto?

The cloud of frozen comets that surrounds Pluto is called the Kuiper Belt.

How did the greek gods choose which god ruled the air water and the underworld?

Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were the three sons of Kronos. After defeating their father, they drew lots to pick their territories. Zeus won and chose the sky, Poseidon got second and chose the sea, and Hades was left with the underworld. Zeus and Poseidon were pleased; Hades felt unlucky.

What planet is likely to have a frozen atmosphere?

Pluto is likely to have a frozen atmosphere due to its distance from the sun, resulting in extremely low temperatures that can freeze gases like nitrogen and methane in its thin atmosphere.

What was Johannes Kepler's nickname?

1. planets travel in elliptical orbits around an off-centre sun. 2. the speed of a planet's orbit depends on its distance from the sun. when a planet's close to the sun it, orbits faster. when it's further away from the sun, it travels slower 3. the farther a planet or dwarf planet is from the sun, the longer its orbit *note: did this because there weren't any fricken answers on the web that was specific, easy and in point form answer. Have fun!!!!! (you probably won't) lol :P

Does Pluto have liquid or water?

Pluto is believed to have a subsurface ocean of liquid water beneath its icy surface due to the presence of geysers, but this has not been confirmed. More research is needed to determine the extent and nature of any liquid water on Pluto.

How far is one trip around the sun?

Depends how close to the Sun you are. On the surface of the Sun it is approximately 4,366,813 kilometers (2,713,406 miles). At the distance of Earth is is about 939,889,369 kilometers (584,020,178 miles).

Who said that electrons orbit an atom like planets orbit the sun?

This description of electrons orbiting an atom like planets orbiting the sun is commonly associated with the early atomic model proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913. Bohr's model suggested that electrons move in circular orbits around the nucleus similar to how planets move around the sun. However, this model was later replaced by the more accurate quantum mechanical model.

What is Eris orbital speed?

Ceres orbits the sun at a speed of 12345km an hour.

NOT YOU JUST GOT OWNED YOU NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS! GO HUMP A COW!

Has Voyager 2 reached Pluto?

Voyager 2 never went to Pluto. Given the positions of the planets in their orbits at the time, we could not send it on a trajectory to get there. Currently Voyager 2 is well beyond the orbit of Pluto and will soon enter interstellar space.

Name given to a distant sun?

A distant sun can be referred to as a star. Stars are luminous celestial bodies composed of hot gases that emit light and heat energy. They play a crucial role in the universe by providing light and energy to planets like our own Sun does for Earth.

What are some facts about the moons of Pluto?

Here are some facts about Pluto:

  • In 2006, got reclassified from a "planet" to a "dwarf planet".
  • Pluto gets closer to the Sun than Neptune about 10% of its orbit.
  • The temperature is around -230°C (-382°F).
  • Pluto is smaller than the Earth's Moon.
  • New Horizons was the first spacecraft to visit Pluto and sent back very good images of the surface.
  • Pluto is 3,670 million miles away from the Sun.
  • It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to orbit around the Sun.
  • One day on Pluto is about 6 and a half earth days.
  • Pluto has 5 moons: Charon, Hydra and Nix Kerberos and Styx.
  • Pluto and Charon spin on an axis of about 123 degrees.
  • Pluto has a large rock core, an icy mantle and an icy surface.
  • Pluto and Charon orbit together so both of them only see one side of each other.
  • Because of Pluto's weird orbit, it is sometimes closer to the earth than Neptune.

How long for it to rotate on axis for Pluto?

Pluto rotates on its axis once approximately every 6.4 Earth days. This slower rotation period is one of the contributing factors to its unusually long day length.
