What will happen to Pluto if suns gravity decreased by half?
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
Which planet has four out 16 moons that are bigger than Pluto?
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.
Astronomers can see planets because planets they?
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.
Why does each planet have different facts?
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.
What Else is unusual about Pluto besides it size?
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.
A specific answer on why planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?
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.
Why did they named Pluto Pluto?
It was in the tradition of ancient people to name the stars and planets after their gods and goddesses; the Roman Empire lasted the longest and was the most well remembered and modern people have continued naming planets, moons, and stars after ancient deities.
As to why Pluto/Hades specifically... Pluto is a cold, dreary place, and in Greco-Roman mythology the underworld was similarly cold and gloomy. Also, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto were regarded by the Romans as a bit of a troika; Zeus ruled the air, Neptune the sea, and Pluto the Earth (as in the underground part of it). Pluto was therefore one of the most prominent/prestigious Roman gods not to already have a planet or other celestial object named for him.
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.
What is a song for remembering the planets by excluding Pluto?
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.
The state of matter for Pluto?
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.
What are the other dwarf planets called?
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.
What would you find in the Oort Cloud?
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.
The machine that show the orbits of the planets around the sun?
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.
Does atmospheric methane burn in a thunderstorm?
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.
Why are scientists interested in learning about the weather on other planets?
They study it for all kinds of reasons. For example mars has huge storms raging on this desert like planet, which makes it almost impossible to live there. Scientist are studying this to learn about what we can expect in the future (maybe the earths climate will change so we will have these storms as well). Also they would like to know what causes this and what to do to counter it. Mars is the only planet where we would have any chance of survival. They have to create an atmosphere first (without the extreme weather), but unlike every other planet the temperature on there is almost the same to the earth.
I'm dutch so excuse any mistakes. ;) hope this helps
What is Pluto's core temperature?
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.
Why do planets take different times to revolve around the sun?
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.
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect other characteristics of the planet?
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.]
Which planet has a moon that orbits backwards?
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

No, Pluto is not a star. Pluto is a dwarf planet located in our solar system, specifically in the Kuiper Belt. Stars are massive celestial bodies that generate light and heat through nuclear reactions in their cores.
What space vehicle do they use to explore Pluto?
u ned to build a space craft out of potato chips and poo. this flight will smell and taste good. once you get out of the amosphere, jump out of the space craft and u will float to pluto. itz only 900000000000000000000 light years away. make sure to bring ur kat!!!
Which terrestrial planet is farthest away from the sun?
Mars is the farthest terrestrial planet from the Sun.
How does your planet compare in size to the other planets?
Our planet is the third planet from the Sun and is considered a medium-sized planet compared to the other planets in our solar system. It is smaller than the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn but larger than the terrestrial planets like Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers.
How long would it take to drop your 40 time from 5.0 to 4.6?
It depends on the person. Some people are more consistent with their speed and strength training than others. Other factors like current training level and ability, weight, lean body mass percentage, and genetics (percentage of fast-twitch muscles) also come into play.
I'm assuming this question is from a football player. So off the top of my head, I'd say between 6 and 12 weeks for your average football player, depending on those factors I mentioned above.
For example it would be a bit harder (but possible) and take a bit longer for a 300-lb lineman to drop from 5.0 to 4.6 than 225-lb linebacker.
Relative strength (you strength relative to your body mass) has been linked to speed. So if you increase your strength (and later on, power), your technique, and actually get out there and run your 20's, 40's, hills, stadiums, etc., you will increase your speed.
How fast depends on you. If you want more info check out my website @ greatcornerback.com. Its aimed at cornerbacks there is some great info for increasing your speed.
