Dwarf Planet Pluto

Pluto's mass is estimated at only 1/155th of Earth's. The gravity there would be 1/15th Earth gravity.

246.04 years to make one orbit of our sun.

Check out the New Horizons space probe if you're interested in Pluto - its on its way out there now to take close up pictures and other data. We shold know a lot more about this place in 2015.

Mercury because it is the planet closest to the sun.

Orbital period: ‎248.00 years; 90,560.0653 days; 2,173,441.5672 hours.

Triton is composed of approximately 13% ice.

Neptune's other moons also show signs of ice on their surfaces and potentially in their cores too.

It is too cold for any liquid form of water to exist that far out in space.

No. Pluto is a dwarf planet, not a star, and is not visible to the naked eye.

Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet it is not likely to be able to determine equally the gravitational pull. On planets where the pull of gravity is greater than that of Earth, say Jupiter for instance, everything is heavier. A can of pop on Jupiter could weigh over 40 pounds. It is not likely that our bone structure could survive such a difference in gravity, but imagine being a Jupiter native visiting Earth. You'd feel light as a feather.

-229 degrees Celsius

Jupiter is an inanimate object, neither male nor female. It was named after the male Roman god of the sky.

To orbit a stellar body is to be circling around it in an "orbit," captured by its gravity, but still traveling fast enough to maintain distance without falling onto the surface of the body being orbited.

Pluto's thin atmosphere mainly consists of nitrogen, with minor amounts of methane and carbon monoxide. It is not considered a gas giant like Jupiter or Saturn due to its small size and low gravity, which prevents it from holding onto thick layers of gas.

Actually, yes it does. Pluto, because of its lopsided orbit, crosses paths and goes in front of Neptune once every 288 years. It probably is once every 288 years because Pluto orbits the Sun once after 248 years.

To my knowledge, no clear imagery of Pluto's surface has ever been achieved. It is likely, considering the body of evidence throughout the rest of the solar system, that Pluto indeed has some sort of topography and relief on its surface. This is especially likely due to the assumed composition of Pluto: conglomeration of rocky materials and frozen volatiles (frozen gases and liquids).

Pluto still exists. It has not been destroyed. It has only been excluded from the list of planets.

it is a planet and it is in the milky way and its in are solor system

When Pluto has an atmosphere, at its closest approach to the Sun, this thin layer is comprised of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. The problem with percentages is that it changes constantly. The irregular heating of the surface, the greenhouse nature of methane that causes inversion layers, and the sheer distance Pluto is from our ability to observe it make determining the average level of any of these three gases extremely difficult at best. We didn't even know for certain until 1985 that Pluto even had an atmosphere.

The measurement of the planet's weight is derived from the gravitational attraction that the Earth has for objects near it.
To make their measurements, the researchers are using a device called a torsion balance. This records nearly imperceptible accelerations from the gravitational effects of four eight-kilogram stainless steel balls on a gold-coated Pyrex plate about the size of a matchbox but just 1.5 millimetres thick. The device, operating inside an old cyclotron hall in the UW nuclear physics laboratory, is similar to one used 200 years ago to make the first measurement. But it is computer controlled and contains numerous mechanical refinements that make the more precise measurement possible. Hope this helps!

Some where outside the solar syatems. It can be just floating over thmilky way. No one can pin point where it is roght now on a map of the universe!!!

Voyager 1 and 2 are now in what is called the"Heliosheath". This is the outermost layer of

what is known as the Heliosphere. We are still receiving information from both spacecrafts. In March of 2012 Voyager 1 was at an approximate distance of 17.9 Billion kilometers away from our sun. Voyager 2 was at an approximate distance of 14.7 Billion kilometers away from our sun.

Pluto apparently rotates clockwise, with its major moon Charon circling in the same direction. The clockwise spin is also true for Venus, which probably began with a counter-clockwise spin and was turned backward by a collision. The planet Uranus has been tipped over onto its side, so that from above the ecliptic plane it appears to turn clockwise. But it is still spinning in the same direction that it initially did, which is the common counter-clockwise spin of the Sun and most of the solar system.

Pluto's interior is thought to be rocky with a possible core made of metal. It likely contains a mantle of water ice and a surface covered in nitrogen ice and other frozen substances. Its exact composition is not yet known, as no spacecraft has landed on or orbited Pluto for a close-up study of its interior.

•The surface of Pluto can range from a low temperature of 33 Kelvin (-400 degrees Fahrenheit) and a high temperature of 55 Kelvin (-360 degrees Fahrenheit). The average surface temperature on Pluto is 44 Kelvin ( -380 Fahrenheit.

Pluto is mostly reddish-brown in color. It is safe to observe from a distance as it is too cold and far away to pose any direct threat to us on Earth. However, it does not have an atmosphere suitable to support human life.
