Dwarf Planet Pluto

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and has a blue-green color due to methane in its atmosphere. It has an axis tilt of about 98 degrees, making it the planet with the most extreme axial tilt in our solar system.

Yes, they look like very bright stars. It has to be the right time though, no good of they are on the other side of the sun. Both Jupiter and Venus are very clear at the moment, Saturn can also be seen. Mercury is a little harder as it is close to the sun, so can only be seen just after or before sunset atthe best of times. Mars is also clear at certain times, you can see its red colour even with the naked eye. Uranus and Neptune are too far away to be seen with the naked eye.

Many scientists and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) believe that Pluto is too small to be considered a full-fledged planet. In 2006, the IAU reclassified Pluto as a "dwarf planet" due to its size and characteristics.

Sharon is a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto. It is one of five known moons orbiting Pluto.

It takes 5 hours 28 minutes and 30 seconds for light from the sun to reach Pluto.

Saturn is lighter than Pluto. Saturn is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with a density lower than water. Pluto, on the other hand, is a rocky dwarf planet with a higher density compared to Saturn.

A white dwarf is denser than a planet. White dwarfs are stellar remnants that have collapsed under gravity, packing a large amount of mass into a small volume. Planets, on the other hand, have much lower densities compared to white dwarfs due to their composition and structure.

As Pluto moves away from the sun, it would experience a decrease in temperature and sunlight. This could impact its surface features, potentially leading to changes in its atmosphere and surface composition over long periods of time.

The robots that explored the planet Pluto are called New Horizons. They launched in 2006 and performed a historic flyby of Pluto in 2015, providing valuable information and images of the distant dwarf planet.

The distance between Pluto and the sun is so vast that it is more practical to measure it in light hours rather than traditional units like kilometers or miles. Light takes about 5.5 hours to travel from the sun to Pluto, so using light hours helps to better represent the immense scale of this distance.

It's due to it's variation of distance from the sun. When it's orbit passes closet to the sun, more of it's surface evaporates. Due to it's small size, much of the atmospheric gasses that evaporate are lost by leaking out into space. It's thought that up to 18 miles of it's circumference has been lost this way.

The cost of zip lining can vary depending on the location and length of the course. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $100 per person for a standard zip lining experience. It's best to check with the specific zip lining company for accurate pricing.

A comet is an object that comes close to the sun in a highly elliptical orbit but can also be found far from the sun in its journey through space. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rock, and as they approach the sun, they develop a glowing coma and tail due to the heat.

Pluto, Eris, and Makemake are all dwarf planets in our solar system. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Eris is one of the largest known dwarf planets and is located in the outer solar system. Makemake is another dwarf planet beyond Pluto's orbit and was named after a creator deity in the Rapa Nui mythology.

The orbit of Pluto is about 39 times further away from the Sun than Earth's orbit. Pluto's average distance from the Sun is about 39.5 astronomical units, while Earth's average distance is about 1 astronomical unit.

No, Pluto is very far from the Sun and has a thin atmosphere, so temperatures on the surface can drop to around -375°F (-225°C). There is not enough sunlight reaching Pluto to significantly heat up the surface.

First they study the subject, then they come up with questions that other people may want to know the answer to. After that, they use their studies and knowledge of physics to come up with a believable and reasonable way that something could be what they think it is.

The dwarf planet Haumea is often described as being shaped like a potato due to its elongated and irregular shape, likely caused by a fast rotation period. Its shape is unique among solar system objects and makes it one of the most oddly shaped bodies in our solar system.

Pluto and other dwarf planets share similarities such as orbiting the Sun, being much smaller than the eight classical planets, and lacking the ability to clear their orbits of other debris. They are considered part of the Kuiper Belt, a region of the solar system beyond Neptune containing many small icy objects.

Nix is the bigger moon of the two, with a diameter of about 23 miles (60 kilometers), compared to Hydra's diameter of about 20 miles (50 kilometers). Both moons are relatively small compared to other moons in our solar system.

Not very well. There would be minimal sunlight so you would be unable to grow anything, the surface temperature varies between -235 and -210 degrees Celsius, there is no liquid water, the atmosphere when it is not frozen would kill you in seconds, and the gravity is only 7% that of earth.

Pluto was reclassified in 2006 as a Dwarf planet. This was due to other Pluto like bodies being discovered, so there had to be a rethink. Either we had to have more planets or we had to better define what a planet is. Pluto is round in shape and in direct orbit around the sun, but it has not cleared it's orbit sufficiently, so remains a dwarf planet rather than a planet.

The distance between any two celestial objects is constantly changing, because everything is moving and all in different directions, and at changing velocities. But because everything behaves in accordance with known laws, we can calculate the distance at any moment between any two objects.

As of Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 12:00 PM PDT, Pluto was 31.8185 Astronomical Units, or 2,957,716,910 miles. It's different now, of course.....

You can download the open-source planetarium program called Stellarium, to perform most of these calculations.

The travel time by the fastest human-built spaceship so far would be about 10 years. If we could travel at the speed of light, we could get there in 265 MINUTES.
