Dwarf Planet Pluto

Neptune is confirmed as a planet because it is partly made of gas much like other planets.However Pluto is made of ice and rock has no atmoshpere and because of its short distance to the Kuiper belt and its size makes astronomers wonder if this is a planet. Plus it doesn't clear it's path of objects that are in it's way.

All planets have very different temperatures at the surface.

Mercury's Maximum Temperature 465°C (870°F)

Mercury's Minimum Temperature -184°C (-300°F)

Venus' Average Temperature 449°C (850°F)

Earth's Average Temperature 7.2°C (45°F)

Mars's Maximum Temperature 36°C (98°F)

Mars's Minimum Temperature -123°C (-190°F)

Jupiter's Average Temperature -153°C (-244°F)

Saturn's Average Temperature -184°C (-300°F)

Uranus' Maximum Temperature -184°C (-300°F)

Neptune's Average Temperature -223°C (-370°F)

Eris is a dwarf planet, because it is sufficiently massive that it's formed into a spheroid due to its own gravity, but it has not cleared its orbital path, as it would need to in order to be considered a planet.

Eris is the largest known object in the Kuiper Belt.

The distance of the earth from the sun is 150 kilometres.

Despite the fact that Pluto and Neptune temporarily change places in their distance from the Sun, they will never collide. This is due to two reasons: First, Pluto's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic by 17 degrees. So even though we say their orbits "cross," Pluto is actually quite a distance "above" Neptune. Secondly, Pluto orbits the Sun twice for every three orbits of Neptune. The two planets are said to be in a "resonance orbit." For such orbits, the two bodies never get close to each other. In fact, the closest the two planets come to each other is 2 billion kilometers.

Pluto the planet?

Pluto was not destroyed, it was downgraded. The celestial object known as Pluto still does exist at the outer edge of our solar system. It is now known as a dwarf planet.

Pluto is about 5,913 million km from the sun (on average).

Earth is about 150 million km from the sun.

Earth is about 5,763 million km from Pluto.

Pluto is distant from the Sun, which results in limited sunlight reaching its surface, contributing to its cold and dark conditions. Additionally, its thin atmosphere is unable to trap heat effectively, further contributing to its frigid temperatures.

I found that on Google. Hope it helped(:

Pluto is a dwarf planet that is supposed to be no longer a planet (It is still considered a planet because of its history in the solar system. Some astronomers want to prove that Pluto is still a planet even though it is more likely known as an asteroid). It is the planet farthest from the sun.

No. It takes over 248 years for Pluto to complete its orbit around the Sun (astronomers have just been observing Pluto for 80 years so far).
It takes over 6 (Earth) days and 9 hours for Pluto to revolve around its axis.

Much of what scientists know are observations made from Charon eclipsing Pluto and Pluto's chance encounter in occulting (covering up) a star. When Pluto occulted a star, a haze was revealed suggesting that Pluto likely has an extremely thin atmosphere. This atmosphere is probably made up of a blend of nitrogen and methane.

These elements may exist as a gas when Pluto is closest to the Sun (at perihelion), but would then freeze as Pluto moves further away. Analysis indicates that the surface of Pluto is composed of about 98% nitrogen with small amounts of methane and carbon monoxide.

There is some evidence that Pluto's tenuous atmosphere may be slowly escaping into space, possibly moving to Charon. When Pluto occulted the above mentioned star, the haze layer was also theorized to indicate that Pluto has a temperature inversion, possibly indicating that Pluto has some weather.

The surface temperature of Pluto has been estimated in a range from -378 to -396 degrees F. In short, there is insufficient data to give a greatly defined answer, but the gathered data supports that the weather on Pluto is extremely cold and has only minor fluctuations in temperature.

Pluto has three moons and there names are Charon, Hydra, and Nix

Pluto revolves round the sun all the time.

It is 17.18 Astronomical Units from Uranus to Neptune.

One AU equals approximately 93,000,000 miles (92.95580727 million miles)

So 17.18 AU equals 1.57 billion miles.

17.18 A.U.'s

There is undoubtedly some water ice on Pluto, because water is found in comets and moons within the solar system. But Pluto is far too cold for liquid water. It is so cold that gases such as oxygen and nitrogen are frozen there as well, moreso when Pluto is at its farthest from the Sun.

Mercury has a diameter of 2,439.7 km

Pluto has a diameter of 2,306

So that means that Mercury is a little bigger

Pluto has craters and so do some other planets.

Pluto has some craters and some of the planet is just rocky because of the rock and ice it's made of.

If you'll go to http://orie-technologies.weebly.com by this afternoon there will be reference to several scientific published papers from scientists and scientific articles from sources like the on line scientific journals like :" Science-Daily" that show Pluto, and its moon Charon, have craters on them.

On this same web site there will be new images and slide show demos (never seen by any human until now).

Using a new space exploration technology named ORIE (Optical Remote Imaging Enhancement.) which (5-7 yrs.) ahead of time can show you what Pluto, Charon, and Nix look like before the New Horizons Spacecraft gets to Pluto.

The scientific evidence, images, and slide demos may give evidence of this. All of this data and evidence will show Pluto, Charon, Nix to not only have 'craters' on them but a considerable amount of ice and and rock as well. There will also be new images and slide show demos showing new possible dwarf planets or moons beyond Pluto and what they also may look like.

For more reading on this within the next few days you may also want to check out the peer-reviewed science journal named :"Journal of Science" that will have a new scientific paper on all of these things discussed above. Which may also be found at: http://journalofscience.weebly.com .

Yes, it still exists. The only thing that happened to it was it got renamed. It used to be called a planet, now it's a dwarf planet. Nothing about Pluto itself changed, just our word for it.
yes

I kilometre = 1,000 metres.

i kilometre = 0.62 miles

1 kilometre = 3,280.8 feet

Pluto has been scientifically proven to be pink. scientists say that the color comes from the zinc located inside Pluto.also Pluto is know to be the bigest planet in our solar system.kdhgllsdh i5hjfaj i like apple pie. idsy uest and this theory is most spicifally proven to be true. and notify everyone you know so they may be updated by this new discovery by mark twain. thank you for reading this article from nasa.

It's not known for definite, but is generally regared as being rocky, uneven with small mountains and crevasses, and with no atmosphere. It may well harbour masses of ice as well, with frozen wastes of ancient frozen water that are billions of years old.

From Pluto, our own Sun would look like a very bright star, so far is it from Earth.

The surface is currently thought to be rock, covered in ices of nitrogen, with smaller quantities of ethane, methane and carbon monoxide ices. The "New Horizons" space craft was launched in January 2006. It is expected to reach Pluto some time in 2015 if nothing goes wrong, and a great deal more will be learned about Pluto and its moons.
