NO! it is in space and if you do not have no space helmet on you will freeze and have no oxegen so ....... YOU WILL DIE!
if you go to the space you see
What makes the planet Pluto special?
The planet Pluto may be considered because it's the smallest and farthest from the sun.
However, in actuality, Pluto is no longer a major planet and nor is it called Pluto. On 24 August 2006 the International Astronomical Union defined the term "planet" for the first time, and this definition excluded Pluto. The IAU reclassified Pluto within a new category of dwarf planets. After the reclassification, Pluto was added to the list of minor planets and given the number 134340.
Where can you find Pluto from the night sky on Earth?
Well it depends of where you are positioned and the date and time of course, for example if you are in Merida Yucatan MX, you can see it with a medium telescope in the nigth sky seeing to the south between Jupiter and the Moon, let's say a little more to the west.
Pluto was not found by accident. Scientists saw that Neptune did not always move in orbit as it should. Something was pulling it. So, scientists searched for a ninth planet for decades.
Clyde Tombaugh found Pluto in 1930 after nearly a year of examining photographs with a blink comparator which rapidly shifts between two images alowing the observer to see differences in the (astronomical) images as blinking dots.
How many days in 1 year has Pluto?
90,580.0653 earth days
there are 90,472 days in a year on pluto
What are the difficulties of a manned mission to Pluto?
One of the first concerns is that it's just so far away. We haven't even been to Mars yet, nor have we even got an unmanned probe to Pluto (yet; there's one on the way). Also, any time an astronaut goes into space, they are bombarded with high energy radiation, that over a long flight to Pluto would kill you.
It seems there is no general consensus about the exact definition of "Jovian planets." Depending on the definition used, Neptune is, or is not, a "Jovian planet"; as explained on Wikipedia: "Giant planets are also sometimes called jovian planets, after Jupiter. They are also sometimes known as gas giants. However, many astronomers apply the latter term only to Jupiter and Saturn, classifying Uranus and Neptune, which have different compositions, as ice giants. ..."
How long would it take to get to Pluto if you flew in a jet?
Pluto is closest to earth's orbit when it's 4,436,824,613 km from the sun. Earth is farthest from the sun when it's about 152,097,701 km out. That leaves a difference of about 4,284,726,913 km. There is an additional problem. Both planets are moving, so setting a straight course to Pluto from earth doesn't mean that the planetary body will be there when you arrive. But let's just calculate as if it will be. If the jet was the fastest manned jet ever, the SR-71 Blackbird, and flew at 3,500 km/hour, it'd take about 139 years and 9 months.
What is plutos most interesting moon?
Pluto's most interesting moon is Charon. It is particularly fascinating because of its large size in comparison to Pluto and its close orbit, which causes both Pluto and Charon to orbit a common center of mass located outside of either celestial body. Additionally, Charon's surface features, such as canyons and impact craters, provide valuable insights into the moon's geological history.
How long does it take light to get from one edge of Pluto's orbit to the other?
The long axis of Pluto's orbit is 11.8 billion km (79 AU), so the two farthest points in its orbit are 655 light-minutes (10.9 light-hours) apart.
Of a sort. Pluto is too cold and has too little of an atmosphere to support the formation of cloud, but cryovolcanoes eject cold material from Pluto's slightly warmer interio, resulting in a sort of "snow" of frozen nitrogen.
How long is one year on Pluto in earth days?
One year on Pluto is equivalent to about 248 Earth years, which is about 90,560 Earth days. This is because Pluto's year is much longer than Earth's due to its far distance from the Sun and its slow orbital motion.
Would the sun look bright or dim from Pluto?
The sun would appear dim from Pluto compared to Earth because of the increased distance from the sun. Despite being the same size in the sky, the reduced sunlight reaching Pluto's surface due to its greater distance leads to a dimmer appearance.
Pluto has no light, and thus never "got it". It does however radiate photons in a very low frequency (not visible) in accordance to the theory of black body radiation. If you meant, "why can we see Pluto in the visible light spectrum?" then the answers is simply that the light was reflected from the sun.
How long is a rotation of Pluto?
Rotation Period about Axis: (length of Pluto's day) 6.387 days (retrograde). A year on Pluto is 248 Earth years.
Pluto is believed to be 50% to 75% rock; the rest composed of ice.
It is a rugged planet which is very cold and has a temperature of
-230 degrees Celsius
What is pluto's period of revolution around the sun?
According to Wikipedia, on Pluto a "...year lasts 90,613.305 Earth days, 248.09 Earth years or 14,164.4 Pluto solar days."
One planetary year is the length of time it takes that planet to travel from one place all the way around the sun and return to the same place.
The temperature range of Pluto is 33 degrees Kelvin to 55 degrees Kelvin.
Is Pluto part of the solar system?
Yes. Pluto may no longer be considered a major planet but it is still part of the Solar System! The Solar System includes the Sun, planets, dwarf planets (including Pluto), moons, asteroids, comets, centaurs, trans-Neptunian objects and interplanetary dust particles amongst other things: basically the Sun and everything that orbits around it. Pluto orbits the Sun, so it's still part of the Solar System.
How many days does Pluto orbit the sun?
0.00403087 times in one year.
248 earth years.
Pluto revolves around the sun all the time. Even without ever stopping, it takes
248 years to complete one revolution. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has made
less than 1/3 of a complete orbit around the sun.
How long does Pluto revolve around the sun?
Pluto's orbital path is quite eccentric ... its minimum distance from the sun is only
about 61 percent of its maximum distance, and as we all know, a planet moves
fastest when it's nearest the sun, and slowest when it's farthest away from the
sun. But the online reference that I consulted lists Pluto's 'average' orbital speed
as 4.666 kilometers per second (2.9 miles per second), and I'm certainly neither
positioned nor motivated to dispute that.
What is the size and color of Pluto?
Pluto has a diameter of about 1,473 miles (2,370 kilometers), making it smaller than Earth's moon. Its color is reddish-brown due to the presence of tholins, complex organic molecules that form as a result of sunlight interacting with methane and nitrogen in Pluto's atmosphere.
What is the average density of Pluto?
The average density of Pluto is 2.03 g/cm3. This figure differs significantly from the 1.64g/cm3 density of Neptune or the 687.00 kg/m3 density of Saturn.
