Dwarf Planet Pluto
A dwarf planet that was the 9th planet from the Sun in our solar system until 2006 when it was determined it did not satisfy the requirements of being a planet.

What gives planets heat other than the distance from the sun?
Another major source of planetary heating is from radioactive decay - primarily from such isotopes as uranium-238, uranium-235, thorium-232, and potassium-40. The gas giants of our solar system have an additional source: from internal pressure. Since gas can be significantly compressed, this compression leads to a significant source of heat (the terrestrial planets, being made of rock and metal, can only compress slightly). This is the main reason why Jupiter and Saturn actually give off more heat than they recieve.
Did Pluto complete a trip around the Sun as a planet?
While Pluto was discovered in 1930 and was considered fully a planet for 76 years, and it takes 248 years for it to complete one revolution, it did not complete one full revolution in the time those on Earth have known of it. But, Pluto has existed for about four and a half billion years, and in that time can be expected to have completed 18,145,161.3 orbits of Sol.
Where does the planet go if the gravitational pull is removed?
Leighton Baines is the best player in the world. He is better than everyone than the entire Liverpool stff and organization. He is almost tied with the players at Liverpool, but he isnt as good as them yet. He is way better than all the players at Manchester United. Manchester United are the conversation for one of the worst, if not theh worst football clun in the history of the world. There is also a new show on ABC called Lost, andn it is featuring all of the Manchester United staff andn organization
The dwarf planet Pluto has never gone missing. It's still there.
Is Pluto the 1st 2nd or 3rd largest planet?
Pluto is now considered to be a dwarf planet; prior to it's demotion, it was the smallest planet within our solar system.
What percent of the planets are smaller than the earth not including Pluto?
3 of the 8 planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) are smaller than Earth.
The answer for that is no. Pluto is now comsidered a dwarf planet. However, Pluto have many sisters and brothers. There are many dwarf planets that has been discovered. There maybe, some dwarf planets are still unknown because of the distance.
Why was the roman god Pluto considered so rich?
The earth and all that lay underneath it was considered part of Pluto's domain. That included the precious metals and gems that could be found there.
How do you work out how long radio waves take to get from Earth to Pluto?
Radio waves travel at essentially the speed of light in space, and that is a known value. So if you know the exact distance between Earth and Pluto, you can divide the distance by the speed to see how long a radio signal from Earth will take to reach there. Of course, during the year the time will vary, because the distance will vary.
Average distance of Pluto from the Sun: 5.874 billion kilometers
Average distance of Earth from the Sun: 149.6 million kilometers
Distance from Earth to Pluto ~ 5.724 billion kilometers
Speed of radio signal (light): 299792.456 kilometers per second
Dividing: 5.724 x 109 / 2.998 x 105 = 1.91 x 104 seconds = 5.3 hours
(and of course, to send it and receive a reply would take twice that time)
---
Absolute closest distance (4.285 billion km) -- 4.0 hours
Absolute farthest distance (7.463 billion km) -- 6.9 hours
Have many Space Probes have been sent to Pluto?
One space probe has been sent to Pluto: NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. It performed a flyby of Pluto in July 2015, providing the first close-up images and scientific data of the dwarf planet and its moons.
Does Pluto have a stronger gravitational pull than the moon?
No. Pluto is actually smaller then Our Moon, Therefor Less gravitational Pull.
Why did the inner planets not collect gas like gas giants did?
The Sun's gravitational force is theorized to have swept up so much gas in the area of the inner planets and prevented them from acquiring much additional material from their surroundings. Thus, the inner planets initially ended up with no satellites.
What is the colour code for siemens grey?
Seems that it is actually Pebble gray RAL 7032. See link below.

The preface from the pluto files?

What is the scientific notation of Pluto?
Scientific notation is used to show numbers raised to powers of ten. Pluto is a planet. Therefore, Pluto cannot be put into scientific notation because there are no numbers in Pluto to put to a power of ten...
Do the gas giants have volcanoes?
The gas giants have no volcanoes; they are composed entirely or almost entirely of gas, so there is nothing to erupt. However, it should be noted that some of the satellites of the gas giants do have volcanoes.
