How long is the path of Pluto?
Pluto takes 248 Earth years to orbit the Sun.
Easy math Average distance (ish) from Sun 4,436,824,613 km called perihelion
Math is: Pie are squared
3.14 X 4,436,824,6132 = circumference of 61,812,195,710,080,963,274.66 KM very approximately
Who took away Pluto's planet ship?
In 2006, the International Astronomical Union redefined the criteria for what constitutes a planet and reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet. This decision was influenced by new discoveries of similar-sized objects in the outer solar system and refined definitions of what characteristics a planet should possess.
How are Pluto and Mars the same?
Pluto and Mars are the same in the following ways:
- They both orbit the sun
- They are both ball-shaped
Daequan "Hootiie" Nix was a loving boy who got shot and killed. He is survived by his mother Renee Vail and his sister BreAna Nix. He was born on March 1, 1995 and died on July 15, 2010. He went to Indianola Math Science and Technology Middle School and attended Brookhaven High School where he played football and ran track.
Daequan Nix was found lying in front of a home in the 1400 block of North Fourth Street at about 11:40 p.m. on a Wednesday. A teen was arrested early Saturday and accused of fatally shooting another teenage boy. Police said they arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly shooting Daequan Nix, 15. Malyk Shelby pulled the trigger, police said.
Nix's mother told 10TV News that the shooting stemmed from a fight over a girl.
"That was my baby. My youngest," said Nix's mother, Renee Vail. "Can't bring his life back so they probably need to be locked up for a long, long time. Forever." Shelby's mother, Kimyatta Smith, said she wanted the Nix family to know she was sorry. Smith said her son told her he was no where near the area when the shooting happened.
"He just said 'mom, I never did it, I wasn't outside," Smith said. "I just want to get to the bottom of it. I want his family to know that my heart goes out to them."
Vail said she accepts Smith's apology.
"I accept her apology," Vail said. "It's not her fault and these teenagers are just making bad decisions."
Friends and family held a candlelight vigil in his honor on Sunday, July 18.
How long will it take to get to Pluto from earth going 65 miles an hour?
Spacecraft never travel in straight lines. But let's say you could.
The closest that Pluto can ever be to the earth is about 3.577 billion miles.
At 65 miles per hour in a straight line, you're talking 6,278 years! (rounded)
Be sure to take enough bottled water, M & Ms, and reading material for the trip.
because of the sun
What do you consider your major disappointments?
You mean beside being born? Nothing else could disapoint somebody that bad oh, wait we were all born so i guess it could...
It might depend on the state you are in, but if you are an hourly employee, and Over time exempt, you should be paid for all 96 hours. Again, over time laws differ by state, but typically you would be paid time and a half for about 16 of those hours.
Additional InfoHourly employees are usually compensated at time-and-a-half for hours worked over the normal 40 or 80 hours pay period. So you should get 80 hours pay PLUS 16 hours at the premium rate, which would equal 104 straight time hours paid. The caveat here is whatever your written contract as an hourly states - if it says there is no overtime rate of pay, then you would receive straight time for all hours worked.
Salaried employees would be compensated just 80 hours regardless of how many hours spent on the job.
If you are referring to planets, a year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one full orbit around the sun (i.e. one orbital period).
Ah yes ethics...Well ask yourself if it was ethical of the boss being conscious of her position, sleeping with your b.f??
I suppose its not ethical because the recommendation maybe contaminated with her personal feelings towards him but this also happens in most places. It is also possible that she simply gives the recommendation based solely on his work and skills. So it all depends on the recommendation itself.
What made the International Astronomical Union decided to take Pluto off the list of planets?
Because it only meets 2 of the 3 requirements to be a planet
How much space would 10 pounds of air fill?
The answer would depend on the altitude (or depth) of the air you're measuring. Because air can be compressed, the weight of the atmosphere (or atmosphere plus water if it is submerged) on top of the air you're measuring determines the volume, or space, the air takes up. The more the weight, the smaller the space the compressed air would take up. Temperature is also a factor as air becomes denser and compresses (the molecules become more tightly packed) as it gets colder.
What is the ice covering Pluto?
The ice covering Pluto is primarily composed of frozen nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. These compounds freeze on Pluto's surface due to its extremely low temperatures, reaching as low as -375 degrees Fahrenheit. The ice gives Pluto its distinctive white appearance when viewed from afar.
How much does a gas giant planet weigh?
Weight has little meaning in space. Gas giants vary considerably in mass. Uranus has a mass 0f 8.68*10^25 kilograms (14.5 times the mass of Earth) while Jupiter has a mass of 1.90*10^27 kg (318 times the mass of Earth). Gas giants may exist up to about 13 times the mass of Jupiter. Above that limit an object would generally be considered a brown dwarf, which is an intermediate category between a planet and a star.
~Well~Pluto's day is 6.4 Earth days, while Pluto's year is 248 Earth years.
When was the last time Pluto went around the sun?
Pluto last completed a full orbit around the sun on September 5th, 1993. It has not completed a full orbit since then.
