Why is the diameter of iron rim kept slightly smaller than wooden wheel on which this rim is to be mounted?

The iron rim is kept slightly smaller than the wooden wheel so that when the iron expands due to heat, it will fit snugly onto the wooden wheel without causing any issues. This allows for a secure and stable fit between the two components.

How many satellites are orbiting Pluto?

As of 2012, there are 4 known natural satellites (moons) of Pluto.

Charon was discovered in 1978, Nix and Hydra in 2005, and the fourth moon, provisionally called S/2011P1, was found in 2011. Charon's diameter is over half that of Pluto, and the Pluto-Charon pair actually represent a co-orbiting binary system. Nix and Hydra are both much smaller, having diameters estimated at between 5% and 7% of Pluto's.

There are no artificial satellites orbiting Pluto. The unmanned NASA probe "New Horizons" will pass near Pluto in 2015.

How long does it take for neptune to rotate around the sun?

Neptune's year, or the time it takes to orbit around the sun, is a little under 165 of our Earth years.

What is Pluto nearest to?

Pluto is nearest to its moon, Charon, which is about half the size of Pluto. The two bodies are tidally locked, meaning they always show the same face towards each other as they orbit.

What are the key characteristics of Pluto?

Pluto is a dwarf planet located in the outer regions of the solar system beyond Neptune. It is small in size, icy, and rocky, with a highly elliptical orbit that takes it closer to the sun on occasion. Pluto has a thin atmosphere primarily composed of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane.

What planet has no moons?

Bothe mercury and Venus have no known moons. All of the other planets in ku solar system have at least one moon, the larger gas giant planets have many moons. It's partly due to the lack of debris in the inner part of the solar system and the fact that Venus and mercury are not very big, so can't easily capture or hold a moon.

What is clockwise?

Clockwise is the direction in which the hands of a clock move, going from the top to the right, then down, left, and back up. It is also described as the direction that is considered to be "rightward" of a circle or circular shape.

What is Pluto's atmosphere?

Pluto's atmosphere is mainly made of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide, but is less than 25-millionths the density of Earth's. The gases exist mostly as frozen solids on the planet's frigid surface, and only thaw when the planet is closest to the Sun.

Currently no human made objects are orbiting Neptune yet Neptune has eight satellites explain?

Neptune actually has 13 satellites,

Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, Proteus, Triton, Nereid, Halimede, Sao, Laomedeia, Pasamathe, and Neso.

Also, you may note that your question is incomplete, so I'll try to give a "shot in the dark" at answering your question.

Though Neptune has 13 known satellites, it likely has more that are beyond the detection capabilities of modern telescopes. Out there at the edge of the Sol System, lighting isn't too good, so it's harder to find those small moons. With the exception of Triton, Neptune's moons are rather small. Triton orbits Neptune counter-clockwise, as opposed to the rest of the moons which orbit Neptune clockwise. This is because Triton is believed to have been captured earlier in the history of the Sol System.

It's believed Uranus had a large collision or two that resulted in enough debris being shot into orbit to generate several relatively large moons, and provided Uranus with a ring system. Neptune isn't believed to have any such event. So Neptune's satellites (with the exception of Triton, again) are generally smaller.

How long does it take for Pluto to orbit around the sun?

Technically Pluto will never be in the eighth planet position again because it is no longer classified as a planet. However, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune starting every 228 years. The duration of this position lasts roughly 20 years.

What is Pluto's composition?

Pluto's composition is primarily made up of rock and ice, including water ice, methane ice, and nitrogen ice. It also has a thin atmosphere primarily composed of nitrogen, with some traces of methane and carbon monoxide. The dwarf planet's surface is covered with highly varied terrains, including mountains, plains, and icy plains.

What number planet is pluto?

It depends if you count all planets, or just dwarf planets:

  • On the list of all 13 planets including dwarf planets, pluto is the 10th from the sun.
  • If you only count only the 5 dwarf planets, it is the second dwarf planet from the sun (the first is Ceres).

Why would a 1993 Ford E350 keep stalling when warmed up?

Possible causes for a 1993 Ford E350 stalling when warmed up could include a faulty fuel pump relay, a clogged fuel filter, a failing ignition coil, or a malfunctioning mass airflow sensor. It may also be worth checking the idle air control valve or the throttle position sensor for potential issues.

Does Pluto orbit the sun?

Yes, Pluto does orbit the Sun. It follows an elliptical orbit, much like the other planets in our solar system, albeit with a more elongated and tilted path due to its unique orbit.

What is the surface temperature on Pluto?

Winter temperature: -400 F

Spring/Fall temperature: -380 F

Summer temperature: -361 F

Pluto is a VERY cold planet and it is about -369 degrees. In the winter temperatures range from about -411 F to -389 F on a good day. In spring and fall the temperatures range from about -395 F to -366 F. In summer the temperatures range from about -379 F to -343 F.

How many days does it take Neptune to go around the sun?

A year for Neptune is equal to 164.79 Earth years and a "day" is 16.1 Earth hours long. So a Neptune year is equal to 60,910 Earth days or 89,666 Neptune days. Interesting fact : there has not been one full Neptunian year since its discovery in September, 1846. In late June of 2011, we will mark one "year" since its discovery.

How long did medieval water travel take?

The water travel speed depended on the type of boat, and favorable conditions. Sail boats where much like today where the top speed is 1.34 times the length of the waterline for a single hull. From there you can figure out the distance, and research the desired ship. Labor powered ships could go just as fast, however it depends completely on the circumstances.

If Pluto were as large as mercury could it be classified as terrestrial?

No, even if Pluto were as large as Mercury, it would not be classified as terrestrial. Terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal, while Pluto is composed of ice and rock. Additionally, Pluto's orbit and location in the solar system would still make it more like a dwarf planet rather than a terrestrial planet.

How far away is Pluto from the Sun in Kilometers?

Pluto's orbit is highly 'eccentric' compared to the orbits of the other planets, meaning that
the sun is quite off-center, and Pluto's distance from it varies over a wide range during the
course of its complete orbit.

Averaged over a complete orbit, Pluto's distance from the sun is given as 5.91 billion kilometers.

Do Chevy v8 v6 engines turn clockwise or counter clockwise as if you were sitting in driver's seat?

Chevy V8 and V6 engines turn clockwise when viewed from the front of the vehicle, which is counterclockwise when viewed from the driver's seat.

Who was the silent dwarf?

The silent dwarf in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" is Gimli, a member of the Fellowship of the Ring. Gimli is a skilled warrior and master craftsman, known for his loyalty and bravery despite his quiet disposition.

What is granola considered?

Granola is a high-carbohydrate, whole-grain snack food and breakfast food. Today the ingredients are typically rolled oats, honey or other sweetener, nuts, and perhaps dried fruits. The mixture is stirred while baking, resulting in a fairly loose consistency. The rolled grains are not expanded by absorption of water as when oatmeal is prepared as a hot cereal, so granola is a more concentrated food. It is eaten dry, or in milk or with yogurt, or sprinkled on fruits or other cereals. As it keeps well, many hikers and campers carry it, loose or in the form of granola bars, as an energy food.

What is Plutos position from the sun?

Pluto is from 4.4 to 7.4 billion kilometers from the Sun, and its orbit is angled at 17° to the ecliptic , or plane of planetary orbits. This means, among other things, that although it approaches closer to the Sun than Neptune, they can never collide, and in fact are never closer than 17 AU (2.5 billion miles). Pluto's long orbit requires over 248 Earth years for it to circle the Sun.
