Dwarf Planet Pluto

When Mercury's iron core cooled off it made Mercury shrunk half a mile and when it shrunk it made cliffs and from space it looks like its wrinkly its from the cooling episode.

The statement is incorrect. The Earth orbits around the Sun in approximately 365 days, while the Moon orbits around the Earth in about 28 days.

As planets are found in orbits further out from the Sun, these will take longer to complete an orbit - basically they have further to travel to complete an orbit. However to stay in orbit they do not have to travel as fast (to stay in orbit) as planets closer to the Sun. This is because the force of gravity falls of with the square of the distance the two bodies are apart.

The Suns outermost planet is Neptune (Pluto is no longer a planet) and it takes 164 Earth years to orbit the Sun!

The plant named after the god of the underworld is the "Hellebore" (genus Helleborus). It is also known as the "Christmas Rose" or "Lenten Rose" and is said to be named after Helleborus, the Greek god of the underworld, due to its toxic properties.

Pluto has an elliptical orbit like all the planets, etc that orbit the Sun. It's the

result of the Sun's gravity affecting Pluto. Pluto has an orbit that is not nearly

circular. This is called having a very "eccentric" orbit. This is probably because

of its origin in the "Kuiper belt" region of the solar system.

Jupiter has a surface area of 23.71 billion sq miles (61.42 billion km sq). Earth has a surface area of 200 million sq miles (510.072 million km sq). So to find the answer to your question we take Jupiter's surface area and divide it by Earth's surface area.

23.71 billion / 200 million = 118.55

So, it would take approximately 118.55 earths to stretch across the surface of Jupiter!

Due to Plutos' distance from the sun and abnormal shape of it's orbit it is likely that Pluto would no longer be effected by the sun's gravitational pull. Pluto would either drift slowly away into the galaxy or spin wildly out of control and shoot through the solar system causing havoc.

Earth would have to nuke Pluto if this were to the case.

Hope this helps

Four of the moons of Jupiter (Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa) are larger than Pluto, but there are only 7 moons in this solar system that are larger than Pluto.

reflect light from the sun, making them visible in the night sky. By observing the way a planet moves and changes position relative to the stars, astronomers can track its orbit and study its physical characteristics. Telescopes and other advanced technology help astronomers gather more detailed information about planets in our solar system and beyond.

Each planet has different characteristics, such as size, distance from the sun, and composition, that result in unique facts about each planet. Factors like gravity, atmosphere, and temperature also play a role in determining the specific features and conditions found on each planet.

Pluto orbits the sun on a different and inclined plane compared to the rest of the planets in our solar system. It is also no longer considered a planet because of its size, different orbit and composition.

Planets and moons remain in their orbits because of the gravitational pull other bigger planets or stars have on them, for example the Earth stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subjects to created by the Sun, and the moon stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subject to created by the Earth. It's all about gravity and force.

Pluto's composition of ice and rock, its location in the Kuiper Belt, and its similarity to other Kuiper Belt objects in size and composition suggest that it is one of many similar icy worlds that once existed in the outer solar system. Additionally, the discovery of other dwarf planets and trans-Neptunian objects further supports the idea that Pluto is just one of a large population of similar icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt region.

A common song to remember the planets excluding Pluto is "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles." Each word in the sentence represents the first letter of a planet in order from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Pluto is mostly composed of rock and ice, so it is classified as a combination of solid and icy materials. Its surface temperature is extremely cold, averaging around -375°F (-225°C), which keeps the majority of its constituents in a frozen state.

Other dwarf planets in our solar system include Eris, Haumea, and Makemake. These dwarf planets are similar to Pluto in that they are smaller than traditional planets and do not meet all criteria to be considered full-fledged planets.

The outer reaches of the solar system, which extends to nearly a light-year away from the sun, likely contains (mostly) small comet type (maybe some asteroid type) objects composed mainly of water/methane/ammonia ices.

You're referring to an orrery, a mechanical model that demonstrates the relative positions and motions of planets in the solar system. It helps visualize the orbits of planets around the sun and their interactions with each other. Orreries are educational tools used to teach about celestial mechanics and planetary motion.

No. Methane is only present in small amounts in the atmosphere; not nearly enough to support combustion. A setup in which it could support combustion would not be stable; a single spark would set the entire atmosphere on fire.

The inside core is solid ice and metal, which, believe it or not, is 1650 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. If you just brushed your finger against it, your arm would fall off from frostbite, and the blood would freeze in your veins.

The planets in our solar system all orbit (revolve) around the sun on a plane called the ecliptic plane but each of their individual orbits has a different perimeter ranging from small (which would be the closest to the sun) to big (which would be further away from the sun).

Since Mercury has the smallest perimeter of orbit, it is the closest planet to the sun and is thus more drawn by the suns gravitational force, both its small perimeter and strong gravitational pull make it revolve around the sun faster, and the bigger the planets orbital perimeter is the further away from the sun it is and the slower its orbit is.

It affects the characteristics of the planets by the highs and lows of the temperature of the planet. It also would affect, if there was, the life on the outer planets. If there were life on the outer planets, they would freeze.

[Jupiter mostly heats itself by it's core.

Jupiter was going to be a star, but it didn't weigh enough or wasn't hot enough to become a star.]

Neptune. It's largest moon Triton orbits Neptune a direction opposite to the direction Neptune orbits the Sun. So either Triton orbits Neptune in a clockwise direction whilst Neptune orbits the Sun in a counterclockwise direction.. or vice versa.

Hope this is what you meant! :D
