so it really isn't fair at all

Is Pluto still in your solar system?

Yes, Pluto is still part of our solar system, but it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union. Pluto orbits the Sun in a region called the Kuiper Belt, which is beyond Neptune.

Belt diagram 350 Chevy?

The belt diagram for a 350 Chevy engine can vary depending on the specific model and year of the engine. You can refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for the correct diagram or consult a service manual for your specific vehicle. Alternatively, you can search online for the specific belt diagram that matches your Chevy 350 engine.

How does a achondrialplasia dwarf get to be a dwarf when no one in there family is a dwarf?

Dwarfism is only expressed when both genes in the persons genome (that determines the trait) are of the dwarf type. Both parents can carry one 'dwarf' gene and one 'normal' gene and express a phenotype of normal. Their children can be either pure normal, half normal, or pure dwarf, with only the pure dwarf expressing the phenotype of dwarf.

The chances of being half normal are 1/2, the chances of being pure (normal or dwarf) are both 1/4.

What direction does Jupiter orbit?

Jupiter revolves around the Sun in a manner similar to the Earth, which is counter-clockwise as viewed from the arbitrary "north" or "above" the ecliptic plane.

Jupiter, however, is much farther out than Earth, with an elliptical orbit ranging from 740 to 816 million kilometers from the Sun. It takes about 11.86 Earth years to make one complete orbit.

How many degrees does Earth rotate in 24 hours?

The earth spins on it's axis, to face the sun. i.e.it takes 24 hours to do a whole rotation around it's axis.

Actually, the Earth is orbiting the Sun at the same time that it is revolving about its axis. As a result, the period of rotation of the Earth with respect to far distant stars (the sidereal day) is about 23 hours and 56 minutes, while the period of rotation of the Earth with respect to the Sun (the Tropical day) is about 24 hours.

How many rings do the packers have?

2 Superbowl championships have been won by the Green Bay Packers; Superbowl XXXI(1996) and Superbowl XLV(2010)

What planet does Pluto orbit?

Pluto doesn't orbit any planets, it orbits the sun. But if you mean what planet does Pluto share a orbit with is Neptune. Pluto sometimes is closer to the sun than Neptune because it cuts into Neptune's orbit.

Saturn's distance from the sun?

The distance from Saturn to Earth is 821,190,000 miles, or 9 AU (Astronomical Units).

Is neptunes atmosphere thick or thin?

Neptune's atmosphere is thick, composed mainly of hydrogen, helium, and methane gases. It has a complex layering structure with high winds and storm systems, including the Great Dark Spot and other large anticyclonic storms.

How do you clean ring around the toilet?

Bleach kills mold instantly. Try a cleaner with bleach and scrub with a brush. Pour bleach into the bowl and let it sit. Then scrub as usual. If your problem is also with rust in the bowl, nothing I have found works better than Iron Out. You can purchase this in most grocery stores and department stores. I have seen it work on toliets that would simply not come clean with any other product.

In most cases, it is not possible or desirable to sterilize an area; a background level of mold spores will remain - these spores will not grow if the moisture problem has been resolved. If you choose to use disinfectants or biocides, always ventilate the area and exhaust the air to the outdoors. Never mix chlorine bleach solution with other cleaning solutions or detergents that contain ammonia because toxic fumes could be produced.

Does Pluto have clouds?

Most of the planets in our solar system, including our own planet Earth, have clouds. They are not necessarily water clouds. Clouds on other planets in the solar system are made of substances such as sulfuric acid, methane, and ammonia.

Is Pluto or Neptune closer to Earth?

Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years. Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years.

The scientist who discovered more than 300 uses for peanuts?

George Washington Carver is credited with discovering over 300 uses for peanuts, including peanut butter, soap, ink, dyes, and wood stains. He was a prominent agricultural scientist and inventor who made significant contributions to sustainable farming practices.

Is anything being sent to Pluto?

No current missions are being sent specifically to Pluto, but the New Horizons spacecraft conducted a flyby of Pluto in 2015 and provided valuable data about the dwarf planet. There are no upcoming missions planned for Pluto at this time.

What are the names of Neptunes moons?

The first four moons of Neptune, Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, and Galatea, are so close to Neptune that they orbit within its ring system. Little is known about them. The next one out, Larissa, was actually discovered in 1981, when it blocked a star. This was attributed to the ring arcs, but later was found to be the moon, being re-discovered by Voyager 2 in 1989. Proteus is the second-largest moon in orbit around Neptune. It is so close to the planet that Earth-bound telescopes cannot see it. Triton is next (right), and is one of the strangest moons in the solar system. First, it is one of only three moons in the solar system that has an atmosphere (Jupiter's Io and Saturn's Titan are the other two). It is thicker than Io's, yet much thinner than Titan's. Its pressure is 1/100,000 of Earth's. Second, Triton has a retrograde orbit, which means that it orbits the opposite way the planet spins. This is a very strong indication that Triton was captured. This in itself is not strange; both of Mars' moons were captured. What is strange is that Triton is two-thirds the size of our moon. When two bodies have a close encounter, one does not automatically capture the other, especially if it is so big. One theory is that Triton must have actually hit Neptune, bounced off the atmosphere, and gone into orbit because it lost all of its momentum. Another way this could have happened is that Triton collided with one of Neptune's moons, smashed it to bits (possibly creating the rings), and lost so much momentum that it couldn't escape Neptune's gravity. Third, it is only 38 °C (100 °F) above absolute zero (the temperature at which all matter comes to rest). In such frigid a climate scientists did not expect to find active geysers. But, they did. They spew out a gaseous form of nitrogen, which is what creates its atmosphere. The eighth moon, Nereid, has a highly elliptical orbit that causes it to swing around Neptune at various distances. When closest, it is 1,342,530 km (834,210 miles) from the planet. At the farthest distance, it is 9,667,120 km (6,006,870 miles) from Neptune. The last five moons were discovered in the first few weeks of and throughout 2003. They have not yet been given official names by the International Astronomical Union. Very little is yet known about them.

Is Neptune's atmosphere thick or thin?

Neptune's atmosphere is thick compared to Earth's atmosphere, composed mostly of hydrogen and helium with traces of methane. The high pressure in Neptune's atmosphere causes gases to compress into liquid and solid forms in its lower layers.

What is earths diamiter?

The diameter of the planet Earth is about 8,000 miles. The equatorial diameter of the Earth is 12,756 kilometres, the North Pole to South Pole diameter is 12,712 km.
