Dwarf Planet Pluto

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.

NASA believes Pluto may have an ice volcano.

Pluto is extremely far so therefore it would take over a decade to get there.

The gravity is probably very strong.Pluto is extremely cold due to how far it is

from the sun. Since Pluto is considered a dwarf planet, life there would be very

difficult. Maybe in a couple decades we might reach the peak of technology and

research Pluto and other planets more thoroughly. Hope this fixed any confusion.

===============

(Note regarding Pluto's gravity: The acceleration of gravity on Pluto's surface

is 0.583 meters/second2. That's 5.94% of its value on Earth's surface.

If you weigh 150pounds on Earth, you will weigh 8pounds 14.7ounces on Pluto.)

Not that we are aware of. Pluto is too cold to support Earthly forms of life, and has no atmosphere to speak of.

It is possible, in science fiction, to create the sort of life form that could exist on Pluto; SF legend E.E. Smith did, and called them "Palainians". But it will be a LONG time before we can actually see if anything is there.

I don't expect anyone.

Pluto is the second most massive dwarf planet. Initially it was considered 9th planet of our solar system but a debate raged for 75 years over its legitimacy as a planet. Discovery of Eris a much bigger body urged International Astronomical Union to describe in 2006 what a planet is. According to the definition Pluto was stripped of its planetary status.

Beyond the orbit of Neptune, there are uncounted numbers of small icy objects such as Pluto, Sedna, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea. They are similar to both planets and comets and are made largely of frozen gases.

The term "plutoid" is also used to describe these Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs).

Pluto's diameter is 2374 kilometers. or 1,475 miles. Pluto has about the same amount of land as Russia.

It is now widely accepted that Pluto should not be classified as a planet, because more bodies more massive than it were discovered beyond its orbit. Also, it seems that it has characteristics similar to other objects in the Kuiper belt.

No. Gas giants are made primarily of hydrogen and helium. Such an atmosphere could not support enough oxygen for human life, as even if enough could be brought together, it reacts with hydrogen as soon as enough heat is introduced.

Well, you can't go to Pluto, on foot, you have to go by rocketship, I would say..... there is ummmmmmm....... 6 month's, I don't know how many km that is so, don't ask me! Thank you.

Because it was way too small to be a real planet.

_________________

Some may be annoyed by my nit-picking. It is not that Pluto was singled out and redefined as a dwarf planet (and by the way it is not Pluto's size that is at issue). A definition of planet was decided upon, and according to the definition Pluto does not meet criteria to be considered a major planet. Pluto has not cleared its neighborhood (the Kuiper Belt) of debris. It may well be that Pluto's then-disputed place among the major planets fueled the need for a definition, but the definition was needed and the current one seems reasonable to most.

It doesn't follow the rules of a planet because there are hundreds like it. Humans didn't know it before because our technology has evoluted since the discovery of space. That is what my science teacher told me.

That is a great answer! and that about wraps it up.
