What is Pluto's distance from Earth?

Pluto is a minor planet (it is no longer considered one of the standard planets orbiting our sun) has a very eccentric orbit. Its distance from earth (and the sun) varies more than that of any of the planets. For a period of roungly 15 years it is within the orbit of Uranus, and for hundreds of years, its orbit is beyond that of Uranus.

At their closest, Pluto and Earth would be separated by 4.2 billion km.

At their most distant, Earth and Pluto would be separated by 7.5 billion km.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light. When the Spirit rover landed on Mars, signals were able to be sent from the Earth to Mars in 9 minutes 30 seconds. Unfortunately, the rover became stuck and hasn't sent a signal to Earth since March 22, 2010.

What is Pluto's position in the solar system?

PlutoOut of the "nine" planets that used to make up the Solar system, it was believed that Pluto was the farthest, though it periodically switched places with Neptune...

In 1992 astronomers found some small icy objects beyond Neptune, that were similar to Pluto in orbit,size and composition. And thus Pluto is considered the largest member of the Kuiper belt, a somewhat stable ring of objects located between 30 and 50 AU from the Sun.

(source -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto#Relationship_with_Neptune)

In 2006 the IAU decided to demote Pluto (coined the phrase 'pluto-ed' to lower in value) because it didnt meet the criteria of real planet.

Miles to Mars?

If someone weighs 55kg on earth what would their mass be on Pluto?

If you have a mass of 55 kg, then on the Earth at sealevel you would weigh 540 Newtons. However, we do not usually use Newtons in non scientific contexts, so we normalize the weight back to kg, so you would "weigh" 55 kg.

Why would power doorlocks self operate on an 1998 gmc Yukon?

How long would a car take to reach outer space?

A car would not be able to reach outer space as it lacks the necessary speed and propulsion to overcome Earth's gravity and atmospheric conditions. Outer space begins approximately 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth's surface, which is well beyond the reach of a car's capability.

Why do Muslims blow themselves up?

Not the majority of Muslims blow themselves up or blow others up. Those who who blow themselves up, although not encouraged to do so and not agreed with them to do so, but they do it out of despair.

What do you expect them to do when they feel no meaning of their lives and that those occupiers who are doing these oppressions to them live freely and luxuriously without even single blame or condemnation to them from any world community, organization, or country.

A planet size distance from its sun and composition of its atmosphere have great affect on its?

A planet's distance from its sun determines its temperature and the presence of liquid water, which is essential for life. The composition of its atmosphere affects its greenhouse gas effect and ability to support life forms. Together, these factors impact the planet's climate, surface conditions, and potential for hosting life.

Why should Pluto remain a planet?
