Why do planets take different amount of time to orbit the sun?
Because that's the way gravity works.
If you take Newton's formula for the gravitational force, and if you know enough
geometry and calculus to be able to massage and manipulate and excercise it,
you discover that if the central body's mass is huge enough (like the sun), then
the time it takes smaller things to revolve around it depends only on the distance
of the orbit, nothing else. The farther an orbiting object is from the central body,
the longer an orbit takes.
If the orbit of a comet is 5000 times distance between Pluto and sun which region is it in?
If the orbit of a comet is 5000 times the distance between Pluto and the Sun, it would be in the Oort Cloud region. The Oort Cloud is a theoretical sphere of icy bodies that surrounds the solar system beyond the Kuiper Belt, and it is where long-period comets are believed to originate from.
What important property of a planet do you learn by studying its moons?
By studying a planet's moons, you can learn about the planet's composition, mass, and possibly its history. The moons' orbits and sizes provide clues about the planet's gravitational pull and overall structure, while their surface features and composition can give insights into the planet's geology and environment.
Pluto's reddish hue is likely due to the presence of tholins in its atmosphere. Tholins are complex organic molecules formed when ultraviolet light and cosmic rays interact with methane and nitrogen. These tholins give Pluto its reddish color.
When and who reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet?
In the year 2006.
Pluto was demoted because it did not have an orbit of its own, but shared its orbit with other Kuiper belt objects (KBOs).

What was the name of Hades garden?
The name of Hades' garden was the Elysian Fields. It was a peaceful and beautiful place in the underworld where heroes and virtuous individuals were believed to go after death.
How do astronomers observe planets that are too far away to see?
Space Telescopes
Planets that are orbiting stars that are far away creating fluctuations in the light that we see coming from the star. Astronomers can observe those planets by measuring the fluctuations of that light.
What is a internal composition?
Internal composition refers to the structure or makeup of something from within. It describes the arrangement of components or elements that form a particular object, entity, or system. Understanding the internal composition of a structure is essential for analyzing its properties and behavior.
How long to Pluto in a spaceship?
10 X 100000000 light years if the space ship is moving with a speed of 10000000000 km per minute.
What can you learn from studying the gas giants?
Studying gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn can provide insight into the formation and evolution of planetary systems, as well as the physics of gas giant atmospheres. By examining their structure, composition, and magnetic fields, scientists can better understand the dynamics of gas giants and their influence on the surrounding environment. Additionally, investigating moons and rings around gas giants can offer clues to the processes that shape and interact within planetary systems.
What happens if you take ice cream on Pluto?
it will freeze because Pluto is too far away and too cold to eat the ice cream. plus what flavor is the ice cream
How long does it take radio signals to travel from the sun to Pluto?
At its closest, Pluto is about 4.4 billion km (2.7 billion miles) from the Sun. Light travels at about 300,000 km/sec, so it takes about 15,000 seconds, or about 4.2 hr, for light to travel from the Sun to Pluto. At its most distant, Pluto is about 7.4 billion km away, so light takes about 6.8 hr to reach it from the Sun.
What planet is brighter than any planet?
The brightest planet in the night sky is Venus. And this is due to its highly reflective atmosphere, and the fact that it's the closest planet to the Earth.
How do plutons become visible at earths surface if they are formed underground?
Plutons become visible at the Earth's surface through erosion. Over time, the surrounding rocks are weathered away, exposing the once-buried plutons. This process can reveal the igneous rocks that make up the plutons, giving geologists insights into the Earth's subsurface.
force = mass x acceleration
force = mass x (distance/sec2)
force x distance = mass x (distance2/sec2) force x distance= work done (energy)
energy = mass x velocity2 10km/h = 10000m/h = 166and 2/3 m/s
energy as ball hits person on ice = 20 x 166.672 = 555577.778Joules
now energy is neither created nor destroyed it is simlply transferred from one form to another
assuming ice has no friction then
555577.778= newmass x velocity2
velocity2 = 555577.778/80 = 6944.722225
velocity = 83.335m/s = 5000.1m/h = 5km/h
Which scientist speculated that magnetism hold planets in their orbit?
No scientist speculated it because scientists know that electric and magnetic attraction is polarised, i.e. some objects attract and others repel. Also magnetism does not have poles, so it is impossible to generate a 'central force' which is necessary for an orbit as we know it.
On the other hand gravity is a weak force but all objects attract all other objects and it is possible for a massive object to provide a central gravity force to set up orbits.
Why should scientists should discover more planets?
Discovering more planets helps scientists to better understand the diversity of planetary systems in the universe. This can provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of planets, as well as clues about the potential for extraterrestrial life. Additionally, expanding our knowledge of planets outside our solar system can inform our understanding of Earth's place in the cosmos.
Space probes have crossed Pluto's orbit but never have visited the planet Why?
Space probes like New Horizons have only performed flybys of Pluto because it is very far away from Earth and the journey would require a significant amount of time and resources. Additionally, the spacecraft would need to carry enough fuel for the long journey and for entering Pluto's orbit, which adds complexity and cost to the mission.
Is a year how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun?
Yes, a year is the time it takes a planet to complete one orbit around the sun. This is also known as the orbital period. Different planets have different orbital periods based on their distance from the sun.
How scientist know stars have planets?
Scientists know that stars have planets through various methods, including measuring the wobble of a star caused by a planet's gravitational pull, observing the dimming of a star's light as a planet passes in front of it (transit method), and direct imaging using powerful telescopes. These methods have helped identify thousands of exoplanets orbiting distant stars.
If you were 12 years old on earth how old would you be on the sun?
It's not possible to be on the sun due to its extreme temperatures, but if you mean how would age be calculated on the sun, you would not have an age in the same way as on Earth since time is not experienced in the same manner due to the sun's conditions.
The length of a "solar day" on Pluto is determined by its axial tilt.
The planet takes 6.38 Earth days to rotate, and 249 Earth years to go around the Sun. But the tilt (60 degrees to the plane of its orbit) produces exaggerated seasons with some polar areas of the planet spending many Earth years in either the constant dim sunlight or constant darkness.
What supports the idea that Pluto is not a planet?
Pluto does not clear its orbit of debris, a key criteria for planethood, as defined by the International Astronomical Union in 2006. Additionally, Pluto shares characteristics with other objects in the Kuiper Belt, suggesting it is more akin to a dwarf planet or large asteroid than a full-fledged planet.
What supports the idea that Pluto is A PLANET?
The fact that Pluto has hydrostatic equilibrium (a roughly spherical shape caused by gravitational influence) as attested to via the Hubble images. One could argue that it is a double planet with Charon which also maintains hydrostatic equilibrium and is bigger than the dwarf planet Ceres. This reviewer happens to believe that the idea of a planet completely clearing it's orbit of debris as a prerequisite to be a planet is silly and in many cases involving lagrange points is impossible.
