Dwarf Planet Pluto

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.

all of the inner planets have no rings, while all four of the outer planets have a ring system. The inner planets, with no rings, are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The four outer gas giant planets (with rings) are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

You would be seven, no matter where you happen to be.

Jupiter's diameter is 11.209 Earth diameters
More than 1350 Earths would fit in the volume of Jupiter.

Ceres, Eris (formerly UB313) and Pluto are dwarf planets. Charon is Pluto's largest moon. The change in planetary classification was made in August, 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and the dwarf planets are defined as non-satellite Sun-orbiting bodies that do not "clear out their (planetary) neighborhood" as major planets do. As of January, 2009, the five dwarf planets include these 3 plus 2 more Kuiper Belt Objects, Haumea and Makemake.

the correct term for pluto is "dwarf planet".

The planets closest to the Sun: Mercury, Venus Earth and Mars are composed of rock. The planets beyond the asteroid belt Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are made up of gases. Pluto is composed of rock and ice.

Also, it has an elliptical orbit and at times crosses Neptune's path. There are periods of up to 20 years where it was the 8th body orbiting the Sun and Neptune 9th. (That is, if you do not count Ceres which is located in the asteroid belt) This leads scientists to believe it is an asteroid and part of the Kuiper belt.

They don't. What actually happens is that Pluto's orbit... well, it doesn't actually intersect Neptune's, but on a two-dimensional plot it looks like it does. This means that for a brief period on each of its orbits around the Sun, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune is.... they do not, however, "switch places."

(Also, despite what you might think if you looked at a graph, Pluto never gets anywhere near Neptune. The closest Pluto can ever get to Neptune is about 17 AU; it actually can get nearer to Uranus ... about 11 AU... than it can to Neptune. The reason for this is that Pluto is in a resonance orbit with Neptune; it makes three complete orbits for every two of Neptune's, so every time Pluto is at one of the "crossing points", Neptune is somewhere else in its orbit.)

The gravitational force on Pluto is approximately 0.62 meters per second squared (m/s²). This low gravity is due to its small mass and size compared to larger celestial bodies like Earth. To calculate the gravitational force on an object on Pluto, you can multiply its mass by this gravitational acceleration (F = m × g), where g is 0.62 m/s². For example, a 1 kg object would experience a gravitational force of about 0.62 newtons.

The biggest planet in our SOLAR system, is Jupiter. We have never explored outside of our own galaxy, so we do not know the size of other planets in space. I'm sure there are others though much much larger! Someday, we will get that far in space technology, but for now, all we know is what lies in our solar system. Outer galactic space travel is yet to come!

Well really now we have discovered a planet 1.7 times bigger then Jupiter whos name is tres 4

A planet is a celestial body that orbits a star, is spherical in shape, and has cleared its orbit of other debris. In our solar system, there are eight recognized planets, including Earth, Saturn, and Mars.

Pluto does have an atmosphere, but when this dwarf planet moves furthest from the sun, its atmosphere freezes. Scientists say that the majority gas of Pluto's atmosphere is nitrogen, but methane and carbon monoxide are also present.

Mercury (closest planet to the Sun) has two temperature extremes: extremely hot on the sunward side and extremely cold on the side facing away. These result in temperatures as high as 425 °C (800 °F) and then as low as -175 °C (-283 °F). The only permanently cold locations are deep craters near the poles.

Pluto, however, is so far from the Sun that it is permanently frozen, with a surface temperature as low as -233 °C (-387 °F), averaging only about 40 to 50 degrees above absolute zero. At that temperature, nitrogen and oxygen are solids.

Pluto takes 6.39 earth days to complete one full rotation on its own axis.
248.53 earth years

No. It is considered as a dwarf planet If you order a small Pepsi, you still get Pepsi, right? Pluto is a planet. It is a special class of planet; it is a dwarf planet. What it is not is a major planet.
