Dwarf Planet Pluto

Pluto's temperature varies, depending on its distance from the sun. This is because its orbit is highly elliptical. Temperature can drop to about -250 celsius. However, the average temperature is about -378 F. to -396 F.

Yes, sort of, Pluto has been officially downgraded from a planet. The four farthest planets are now all "gas giants".

99 ten millionths of a second. It would take sound 8.85 seconds.

The two planets farthest from the sun are Uranus and Neptune. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, while Neptune is the eighth planet. Both planets are classified as ice giants due to their composition of mostly ice and rock.

It is debated whether Pluto formed with the other planets or if it was captured while passing through the solar system. If the second option is true it would explain why the orbit it so erratic through the concept that it came from outside the solar system. However the orbit itself does not follow the typical elliptical pattern the other planets follow which seems to support the outside capture theory, however, there is no way to know at this point until there are samples taken from the planet.

Pluto's volume is about 1/115th of Earth, but its mass is only 1/455th Earth's. The gravity there is one-fifteenth of Earth's so a person's weight on Pluto would be less than 7% of their weight on Earth. Example : man weighs 150 pounds on Earth, effectively 10 pounds on Pluto (push-ups not a problem) Example : rabbit weighs 1.5 kg on Earth, only 100 grams on Pluto (even in spacesuit, hops over houses)

Uranus is a gas planet, consisting mostly of hydrogen and helium with a small rocky core. It belongs to the category of ice giants, along with Neptune.

13 moons,

don't ask why,

just there are.

Mercury's period of revolution around the sun is about 88 Earth days, while Pluto's period is approximately 248 Earth years. The ratio between their periods of revolution is about 1:28. This difference is due to the much larger distance Pluto is from the sun compared to Mercury, causing it to take much longer to complete one orbit.

The region beyond the orbit of Neptune is called the Kuiper Belt. It is a vast ring of icy objects, including dwarf planets, comets, and other small bodies, that orbits the Sun beyond Neptune. The Kuiper Belt is believed to be a source of short-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system.

It is often just referred to as The Palace of Hades.

The last space probe launched was the Tianwen-1 mission to Mars, which launched in July 2020 by the China National Space Administration.

On February 11, 1999, Pluto resumed its position as the outermost planet in our solar system, surpassing Neptune. This event happens due to Pluto's orbit, which is elliptical and not always within Neptune's orbit.

The mystery planet refers to the hypothetical ninth planet in our solar system, sometimes referred to as Planet Nine or Planet X. It has not yet been directly observed but is believed to exist based on its gravitational effects on other objects in the Kuiper Belt.

I learned about this when I was in the seventh grade. Pumice is volcanic. It was made by nature when lava and gases was thrown out of a volcano. As the gas bubbles escaped from the lava, it become frothy. When the lava cooled and hardened, the result was a very light rock material filled with tiny bubbles of gas.

Yes, circumlocution is a tactic used to evade directly addressing a question by using vague language or talking around the subject. It is often employed when someone wishes to avoid giving a clear or straightforward answer.

Uranus is the planet that takes a turn facing the sun during its 84-year revolution due to its extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This causes its poles to alternate in facing the sun during its orbit around the sun.

Pluto was named after the Roman god of the underworld. It was considered a fitting name due to its dark and distant location in the solar system. However, the decision to classify Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006 has led to some debate over its official status.

What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.

The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.

The small dark planet named after the god of the dark underworld is Pluto. In Roman mythology, Pluto is the god of the underworld, equivalent to the Greek god Hades. Pluto was also the name of the ninth planet in our solar system until it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

A planet has to be a certain size to become a planet. Pluto is under that size so it is not a planet. It is infact a unnaturally big peice of rock.

This is not correct. First, the planetary status of Pluto is still very much a matter of debate. Many astronomers still consider Pluto a planet in spite of the controversial demotion by four percent of the International Astronomical Union. That decision was rejected in a formal petition by hundreds of professional astronomers led by New Horizons Principal Investigator Dr. Alan Stern.

Stern and like-minded scientists favor a broader planet definition in which a planet is defined as any non-self-luminous spheroidal body orbiting a star. If an object is large enough to be pulled into a round shape by its own gravity--a characteristic of planets and not of shapeless asteroids and "big rocks," then it is a planet. When an object is large enough that its shape is determined by gravity rather than by chemical bonds, it is said to be in a state known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

So from this viewpoint, if an object is in hydrostatic equilibrium and orbits the sun (or another star), it is a planet. That most certainly qualifies Pluto.

Latin and Roman are the same thing: it is Pluto.

There have been no human explorations to Pluto. The only missions to Pluto have been unmanned spacecraft such as New Horizons, which made a flyby of Pluto in 2015 and provided valuable data and images of the distant dwarf planet.

Pluto rotates much more slowly than Earth so a day on Pluto is much longer than a day on Earth. A day on Pluto is 6.4 Earth days or 153.3 hours long.

Neptune takes about 165 Earth years to orbit around the sun once. This means Neptune's year is equal to approximately 165 Earth years.
