Dwarf Planet Pluto

1. The surface of Pluto, in comparison, can range from a low temperature of33 Kelvin (-240 degrees Celsius or -400 degrees Fahrenheit) and 55 Kelvin (-218 degrees Celsius or -360 degrees Fahrenheit). The average surface temperature on Pluto is 44 Kelvin (-229 Celsius or -380 Fahrenheit). Now, this is just the regular temp. of Pluto. This is because, Pluto rotates on its axis every 6.39 days and takes 247.8 years to revolve around the Sun.

Pluto is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt. It has a thin atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen, with traces of methane and carbon monoxide. It has a complex geology, with features such as mountains, valleys, and plains on its surface.

Pluto does not have earthquakes because look at the word earthquakes.So,earth is in the word so earth is the only planet that has earthquakes.Not Pluto.Pluto doesn't have earth quakes.there is no such word of Plutoquakes.

Yes, most everything in the universe has an orbital path around another large body.

The sun revolves around the center of the milky way galaxy, which is a supermassive black hole. Many suns revolve around black holes or other large bodies with large gravitional pulls.

It was named after Roman God of Underworld

At the Shuttle's maximum speed of about 30,000 km/hr, it would take more than 16 years to reach Pluto. The "New Horizons" spacecraft was launched by NASA in 2006 and reached a new record velocity for spacecraft, more than 58,000 km/hr. It was further accelerated by a gravity assist from Jupiter in 2007. Even so, it will be June, 2015 before it reaches Pluto, a total mission time of 9 1/2 years.

As pluto has no atmosphere, its color must come from the terrain directly. The probe New Horizons is set to fly by Pluto later this year (2015) and early pictures show it being a relative uniform brown. To be honest, astronomers aren't exactly sure why it's so brown, considering Pluto is mostly made of ice. We'll find out soon!

There is a solitare game called "pluto" in a set of games; reference

From Wiki:

New Horizons has both spin-stabilized (cruise) and three-axis stabilized (science) modes, controlled entirely with hydrazine monopropellant. Seventy-seven kilograms of hydrazine provides a delta-v capability of over 290 m/s after launch. Helium is used as a pressurant, with an elastomeric diaphragm assisting expulsion. The spacecraft's on-orbit mass including fuel will be over 470 kg for a Jupiter flyby trajectory, but would have been only 445 kg for a direct flight to Pluto. This would have meant less fuel for later Kuiper Belt operations and is caused by the launch vehicle performance limitations for a direct-to-Pluto flight. There are 16 thrusters on New Horizons: four 1 lbf (4.4 N) and twelve 0.2 lbf (0.9 N) plumbed into redundant branches. The larger thrusters are used primarily for trajectory corrections, and the small ones (previously used on Cassini and the Voyager spacecraft) are used primarily for attitude control and spinup/spindown maneuvers. Two star cameras (from Galileo Avionica) are used for fine attitude control. They are mounted on the face of the spacecraft and provide attitude information while in spinning or in 3-axis mode. Between star camera readings, knowledge is provided by dual redundant Miniature Inertial Measurement Unit (MIMU) from Honeywell. Each unit contains three solid-state gyroscopes and three accelerometers. Two Adcole Sun sensors provide coarse attitude control. One detects angle to the Sun, while the other measures spin rate and clocking.

McBurney's incision is a surgical technique used to access the appendix during an appendectomy. It involves making a small oblique incision in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen at the McBurney's point, which is one-third of the distance between the right anterior superior iliac spine and the umbilicus. This incision allows for efficient removal of the appendix while minimizing scarring and postoperative complications.

No. Charon is tidally locked to Pluto such that one side always face toward Pluto and once side always faces away. Since Charon orbits Pluto (or rather the common center of mass between the two) the far side of Charon experiences daylight while it is night on the side facing Pluto.

NO! It would take a massive bomb to do that. It is just no longer a planet due to it's size.

No. It is a Dwarf planet, it is impossible to blow up a planet it would cost way to much money.

Alpha Centauri is 4.365 light-years from the Sun. One light-year is 9.46*1012 kilometers.

So: 4.365*9.46*1012= 4.13*1013 kilometers

Depends on whether or not you call Pluto a Planet.

If so, yes Pluto. Which takes around 248 earth days to orbit the sun.

If not, it's Neptune. Which takes 165 earth days to orbit the sun.

5.906 billion km, or 39.5 AU, where one AU is the Earth to Sun distance. Plutos distance from the sun varies a lot throughout its 248 year orbit, ranging from 7.375 billion km (49.3 AU) at its furthest to 4.436 billion km (29.7 AU) at its closest.

Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet based on specific criteria set by the International Astronomical Union, not because of its gravity. Gravity is present on all celestial bodies, including dwarf planets like Pluto.

well first i dont think uranus has any volcanoes one it. and second if it did there would probably be a lot.

I don't think so because we are discovering more Pluto like bodies in the solar system and we either have to make these planets or put Pluto into a new category (of Dwarf Planets) along with these.

You can't drive to another planet. Cars don't leave the ground, so you would never leave the planet Earth. You would need to use a rocket to get to Pluto, but nobody's ever done it.

Certainly more than your lifetime. I've read in a book at measured by driving but it seemed ridiculous. It also depends on how fast you drive. Are you planning to do that? ;D

they would die becaue its freezing and the person would smell gross!no bath in days!!!they would die becaue its freezing and the person would smell gross!no bath in days!!!they would die because its freezing and the person would smell gross!no bath in days!!!

Pluto orbits the sun, as does Saturn, but Saturn is closer to the sun than Pluto is, so Pluto has much further to go to orbit the sun. Pluto's orbit is longer than Saturn's.

Earth is between Venus and Mars. Venus is closer to the sun than Earth, and Mars is farther away. The order is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

The path of Pluto is an elliptical orbit around the sun, taking approximately 248 Earth years to complete one orbit. Its orbit is highly inclined compared to the plane of the other planets, causing it to sometimes be closer to the sun than Neptune, and other times farther away.
