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.
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.
Ceres orbits the sun at a speed of 12345km an hour.
NOT YOU JUST GOT OWNED YOU NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS! GO HUMP A COW!
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.
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:
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.
Which planet's orbit looks the least like a circle?
Mercury's orbit looks the least like a circle compared to other planets in our solar system. Its highly elliptical orbit is the most elongated, meaning it is more stretched out and not as round as other planets' orbits.
Which planet is not a frozen planet?
Well, obviously, Earth isn't a frozen planet. Neither is Venus. Mercury gets much bellow freezing in the night but at day it's temperature is around 400 celsius. Mars is almost always bellow freezing. The planets keep getting colder past Earth, as it gets further and further away from the sun.
How old is Pluto and why do they call Pluto a dwarf planet?
Pluto is about 4.5 billion years old, roughly the same age as the rest of our solar system. It is called a dwarf planet due to its small size and its location in the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond the orbit of Neptune where many similar small icy bodies are found.
In 2178 will Pluto be in the same place it was when discovered?
Pluto was discovered in 1930. Pluto takes 248 Earth years to orbit the Sun. So yes, in 2178 it will be in the same place in its orbit and will have completed one revolution around the Sun (its year) since it was discovered.
How many planets are there bweteen Pluto and the sun?
There are eight planets between Pluto and the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto used to be considered the ninth planet before being reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.
