How many earth days are equal to 31 days on Pluto?
The sidereal rotation period of Pluto is about 6.39 Earth days.
Therefore, 31 Plutonian days is equal to (31 * 6.39) = 198.09 Earth days.
Also note that 31 Earth days would be equal to (31 / 6.39) = 4.85 Plutonian days.
How long to Pluto on a spacecraft?
On the Space Shuttle
The distance from Earth to Pluto is not constant, but averages to 3.57 billion miles. The Space Shuttle orbits at 17,500 miles per hour. Therefore 205,000 hours or 8,500 days or 23 years 105 days.
On the New Horizons probe
In January 2006, NASA launched the New Horizons probe on a mission to fly by Pluto. New Horizons is one of the fastest man-made objects ever launched, and is not scheduled to arrive at Pluto until July 2015 (it will not be entering orbit around Pluto. To do so it would have to slow down, significantly lengthening the travel time). So, as of now, it takes about 9.5 years to travel from the Earth to Pluto.
Why Neptune sometimes farther from the sun than Pluto?
Neptune is brighter than Pluto because it is larger and (usually) closer to earth. There isn't enough differences in the albedo or "reflectivity" of the two planets to offset Neptune's size advantage. Even when Pluto slides inside the orbit of Neptune, which the dwarf planet does during part of its orbit of the sun, its smaller size does not permit it to compete with Neptune for brightness.
No effence but i need more of an answer than this
The diameter of Pluto and Ceres and Eris?
2.9 AU or 257 million miles from the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Or for astronomy it's to the bottom left of Aquarius (very close to the sun). It's orbit is fairly circular and takes 4.6 years to move along.
What is the color Sailor Pluto outfit?
Colors are...
Red; Bows, earrings, gems on necklace and tiara.
Black; Skirt, shirt collar, cuffs on gloves, and boots
White; shirt, gloves, rim of boots
^^^^^
I think that's all
Is Pluto thhe ninth planet from the sun?
Pluto has been recategorised as a dwarf planet. Until its change in status it was considered to be the ninth planet from the sun. Though, on occasion, its orbit brought it closer than to the sun than Neptune, the eighth planet.
How long does it take the planets to make a complete rotation?
The earth takes 365.25 days to complete one orbital revolution around the sun. In one of nature's most astonishing coincidences, this happens to be almost precisely one year.
Compare and contrast Pluto with the outer planets?
Pluto is more like an inner planet and is very cold, the outer planets are gas. The outer planets are cold Pluto.
Aside from being, on average, the farthest planet from the Sun, Pluto and its orbit have several characteristics that make it unique. Its greater distance means its orbital period of 248 years is the longest of all planets. Its orbit has the highest eccentricity, which means that its distance from the Sun varies more than other planets. Its orbit is so far from circular that it can actually be closer to the Sun than Neptune at times.
The plane of Pluto's orbit is also tilted the most compared to the rest, taking it further north and south of the Earth's orbital plane than the other
planets.
In what two ways is Pluto like a major planet?
Pluto is like a major planet in that it orbits the Sun and has a spherical shape due to its gravity. It is also composed of rock and ice, similar to the major planets in our solar system.
How long does it take a message to travel from Earth to Pluto at its average distance from Earth?
The average distance from Earth to Pluto is about 3.67 billion miles (5.9 billion kilometers). Since light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), it would take a little over 4 hours for a message to travel from Earth to Pluto at its average distance from Earth.
What made planet Pluto disappear?
Pluto did not disappear, but rather was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union. This decision was made based on new guidelines that defined a planet as having cleared its orbit of other debris, a criteria which Pluto did not meet.
How long does it take for Pluto to do a 360 degrees spin?
Pluto takes about 6.4 Earth days to complete one full rotation on its axis, which is equivalent to a 360-degree spin.
When was Pluto disscovered not a planet?
It was not so much a discovery that Pluto wasn't a planet, so much as a general concensus that it shouldn't be called a planet anymore. Over the past decade, astronomers have discovered several bodies beyond the orbit of Pluto that are in fact larger (for example, Eris.) They realized that there were probably many more they hadn't discovered yet and that the term planet was impractical for Pluto since it was so small and there were so many similar sized objects orbiting the Solar System. Eris was probably the final blow to Pluto's status. It is larger than Pluto and for a long time astronomers called it the solar system's "tenth planet''. In the face of this discovery and the fact that many other similarly sized objects had been found, the International Astronomical Union decided to formally define the word "planet" for the first time in 2006 and in the process effectively demoted Pluto.
How do they know how far is a planet?
Within our solar system, it's really easy to tell each planet's distance from the sun.
From Newton's law of gravitation, we realized that the time it takes a planet to revolve around the sun only depends on the planet's distance from the sun, and if we know the distance of one of them, we can figure out all the others.
If we watch a planet move through the sky, we can see how long it takes for that one to revolve once around the sun. Then we need to know both the distance and time of one planet, and from that one we can calculate all the others.
The one for which we know both the distance from, and time to orbit, the sun, is ... our Earth ! With this information, plus watching another planet to see how long it takes to orbit the sun once, we can calculate how far it is from the sun.
Does the orbit of Pluto sometimes cross that of the planet Neptune?
Pluto has a highly elliptical orbit which is at a steep angle to the ecliptic.The ecliptic is the plane that contains the sun's apparent motion through the skies from earth's point of view. Pluto is a K.O. (Kuyper Object, an object from the Kuyper Belt, more like an icy comet than an asteroid). It does travel within the orbit of Neptune for a few years out of its long orbit, but never in a way that will bring it crashing down onto Neptune. Pluto is locked into a special harmonic relationship with Neptune which prevents that from happening. For every 2 orbits of Pluto there are 3 orbits of Neptune. They are never close enough to collide. Pluto spends the vast majority of its orbital time in the Kuyper Belt, beyond Neptune's orbit.
Why was Pluto removed from the planetary system?
Pluto does not follow the same orbit as all the other planets. That is to say it has a high eccentric orbit that does not follow the ecliptic. The ecliptic is an imaginary line taken from the Sun's equator and extended out across the solar system, like the rings of Saturn.
Pluto is small and probably a captured asteroid or Kuiper belt object(KBO ) and so was voted not to be an original planet formed at the birth of the solar system.
How much would an object weigh on earth if it weighed 100 ponds on Pluto?
An object that weighs 100 pounds on Pluto would weigh 262 pounds on Earth, assuming the same mass of the object. This is because weight is proportional to the gravitational force acting on an object, and the gravitational force is stronger on Earth than on Pluto.
What dwarf planet was considered an asteroid?
Ceres is a dwarf planet and it is registered in the minor planet center as asteroid number 1. However, it is a dwarf planet not an asteroid. Asteroids and comets are similar bodies that do not have hydrostatic equilibrium and are relatively small. Recent rulings by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) have reclassified it and justly so (though I personally don't believe dwarf planets and normal terrestrial planets are as different as they contend).
How long would it take to emancipate your self?
The process of emancipating oneself can vary depending on individual circumstances and legal requirements in the specific location. It typically involves demonstrating financial independence and the ability to make informed decisions, which can take several months to years. It is important to seek guidance from a legal professional familiar with emancipation laws in your area.

Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because?
It is considered a Dwarf Planet for many reasons. One reason why it is the a Dwarf is because it goes through the Kuiper Belt every time it rotates and as it rotates in the Kuiper Belt it gets hit!
How many earths can fit in vv cephei?
It is estimated that 2000000000 Earths could fit inside VV Cephei How do we know? It is known that one million Earths could fit inside the Sun, and VV Cephei is estimated at 2000 times bigger than the Sun.
Why do you weigh more on earth than on Pluto?
You weigh more on Earth than on Pluto because of the difference in gravitational pull between the two. Earth's gravitational force is much stronger than Pluto's, which causes you to weigh more on Earth.
Does Pluto orbit in the ecliptic plane?
No, Pluto's orbit is inclined relative to the ecliptic plane by about 17 degrees. This means that Pluto's path around the Sun is tilted compared to the orbits of the major planets in our solar system.
The Hydra was born from the blood of the monster Typhon when he was wounded by the god Hercules. It is a serpent-like creature with multiple heads that grow back when cut off, making it a formidable adversary in Greek mythology.
