Dwarf Planet Pluto

The surface of Pluto can range from a low temperature of 33° Kelvin (-240° C or -400° F) to a high temperature of 55° Kelvin (-218° C or -360 °F). The average surface temperature on Pluto is 44° Kelvin (-229°C or -380° F).

1) nobody really knows.

2)presumedly it is as old as the rest of the stuff in the solar system ... so 5 billion years.

3) we have no idea when it was captured by Mars.

Pluto orbits the sun at an average speed of about 10,500 miles per hour (17,700 kilometers per hour). It takes approximately 248 Earth years for Pluto to complete one orbit around the sun due to its distance and elliptical orbit.

Nothing, the atmosphere of Pluto is made of of mostly methane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. Human science has yet to discover life on a planet other than Earth and believe that water and oxygen must be in the atmosphere to sustain life giving properties. Even if Pluto had atmospheric conditions similar to Earth its distance from the Sun would not allow for a climate to sustain life. Pluto is basically a very large ice rock where temperatures drop well well below 0.

The classification of Pluto as a planet impacts how we categorize objects in our solar system. Understanding Pluto's status helps us understand the characteristics and evolution of celestial bodies. It also affects our perspective on how we define and study planets.

Light years aren't the best, since it is only about 0.000624 light years away. Saying that the distance is 39 AU would be better. On the other hand, it's a much better unit than saying the distance is 3,229,510,630,000 fathoms.

Pluto does not have a significant amount of oxygen in its atmosphere or composition. The atmosphere of Pluto is primarily composed of nitrogen, with traces of methane and carbon monoxide. Oxygen is not a major component of the dwarf planet.

Pluto was once considered the ninth planet in our solar system, but in 2006 it was recategorized as a dwarf planet. The mean radius of Pluto is 715. 2 miles and the equatorial circumference is 4,493. 7 miles.

Yes, Neptune is larger than Pluto. Neptune is the fourth-largest planet in our solar system by diameter, while Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet and is much smaller in size compared to the eight recognized planets.

Pluto's diameter is 1,430 miles (2,310 kilometers).

Pluto is unique because it is classified as a dwarf planet, it has a highly elliptical orbit that takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune at certain points, and it has five known moons, the largest of which is named Charon. Additionally, Pluto has a thin atmosphere of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide.

NASA launched the New Horizons mission to go to Pluto and it will collect data in 2015. (This is not a "landing", just an observation.) Until then, our best data from Hubble Space telescope observations give only a general idea of what Pluto's composition.

It appears that Pluto has a rocky core making up 50% to 70% of its mass. The rest (30%-50%) is thought to be a mantle of water ice. There is also a very thin outer layer of 98% solid nitrogen. Methane and carbon monoxide have also been detected.

Below Pluto's tenuous atmosphere is its icy surface, composed primarily of frozen nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. This surface is covered in mountains, plains, and vast areas of frozen water ice. The dwarf planet also has a rocky core believed to contain metals and silicate rocks.

Pluto is unique in our solar system as the only dwarf planet. It has a highly elliptical orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune at times. Pluto is also known for its large moon, Charon, which is so large in comparison that they orbit each other, creating a binary system.

No. Planet X was a proposed planet believed to orbit somewhere beyond Neptune based on an anomaly in the orbit of Uranus believed to be caused by the gravity of an unknown planet. Searches for planet X led to the discovery of Pluto, but later studies found that Pluto is not nearly massive enough to have caused the anomaly. It was later discovered that the apparent anomaly was due to a small miscalculation in the mass of Neptune.

To be considered a planet, an object must orbit the Sun, be spherical in shape due to its gravity, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. It should also not be a satellite of another object.

The outer planets of the solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto was also included as an outer planet from the time it was discovered in 1930 until being reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

Pluto was originally classified as the ninth planet in our solar system in 1930 but was reclassified as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2006. It has five known moons, with the largest moon, Charon, being about half the size of Pluto itself. Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical, meaning it is not a perfectly circular path around the Sun.

The average temperature on the surface of Pluto is around -375 degrees Fahrenheit (-225 degrees Celsius). Pluto is located very far from the sun, resulting in extremely cold temperatures on its surface.

Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it has not cleared its orbit of other debris, which is one of the criteria for being classified as a full planet. Additionally, its small size and location in the Kuiper Belt make it more similar to other objects in that region than to the eight recognized planets in our solar system.

Pluto is the name for the Greco-Roman god of the underworld. The name is Ancient Greek in origin meaning "wealthy one".

In astronomy Pluto was formerly considered the 9th planet in the solar system. Due to reclassification it is now considered to be a dwarf planet.

In astrology Pluto represents transformation, hidden motivations, the will, occult knowledge, mysteries of all types, power , destruction, sex, and death. In mundane astrology, the branch of astrology that deals with events of earth that affect humanity, it rules government and politics. It is considered to be the co-ruler of the zodiac sign Scorpio.

the volume is 1.33 x pi x (1150x1150x1150)

Jupiter is much larger than Pluto. Jupiter has a diameter over 11 times greater than that of Pluto and is significantly more massive. Pluto is considered a dwarf planet and is much smaller compared to Jupiter.

No, Pluto does not have a global magnetic field. This is in contrast to planets like Earth, which do have magnetic fields generated by their cores. Without a global magnetic field, Pluto is not able to deflect solar winds or create auroras like planets with magnetic fields can.

Pluto's late discovery precludes a historic or folk tradition. Ancient peoples were unaware that it existed. The planet was named after the Roman god of the dead, the underworld, and the outer regions. Pluto was the son of Saturn, grandson of Uranus, and brother of Jupiter and Neptune. Mortals generally viewed him with dread.
