Dwarf Planet Pluto

Venus has the highest average temperatures of any planet in our Solar System, regularly reaching temperatures over 460°C. Mercury is second while the temperature on Mercury can reach 465°C, it can also drop to frigid temperatures of -184°C. Third is Earth the average temperature on Earth is 7.2°C. Fourth is Mars its temperatures can vary by as much as 30°C during the summer in the northern and southern hemisphere. Jupiter At the top of Jupiterâ??s clouds, the temperature is around -145°C.Saturn Like on Jupiter, the temperature in the upper atmosphere of Saturn is cold â?? up to approximately -175°C â?? and increases closer to the center of the planets. Uranus is the coldest planet with a lowest recorded temperature of -224°C. Neptune temperatures dropping to -218°C.

The cat was frightened and bit him

Because he considered Pluto to be an icy body rather than a planet.

The scientific 'community' made the decision. Pluto is considered to be too far away from the Sun to be classed as a planet of the solar system. It is now accepted to be part of the Kuiper belt.

Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial planet

This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more moons. Thusly, no.

A full rotation of Pluto takes 6 Earth days, 9 hours, and some minutes; so the day part should be about half that amount (3 days and 5 hours), at least on average.

Pluto has a very large tilt of its axis, similar to Uranus.

So the details of when it's daylight on Pluto are complicated and depend on where Pluto is in its orbit around the Sun.

Of course, Pluto is so far from the Sun that the term "daylight" is a bit misleading

anyway.

Because of a due to lack of air, gravity, and because it is a dwarf planet and it is really away from the sun so it is really cold there.

Please note that a "light-year" is a unit of distance; NOT a unit of time, the way the question is posed, it indicates that possibly there is some confusion. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. The distance to Venus is MUCH less than a light-year; it takes light only a few minutes to get there. Depending on which side of the Sun it is, the distance (and the time required for a ray of light) can vary.

As to the time, that really depends on the speed. A ray of light, as mentioned above, takes but a few minutes. A rocket, using currently available technology, would probably take several months to get there.

Comets are often thought of as visitors from other solar systems. Solitary travelers in space. Asteroids can and do exist as "belts" and are usually found in groups that can orbit a central sun very much like planets. Composition can be very different for both objects. Both follow prescribed orbits, hence we are able to predict/know the returning date for Haley's Comet.

Am not familiar with any data about asteroids with orbits as far reaching as comets.

Because comets follow a predicted orbit, and visit our solar system at regular times, they could be considered part of our solar system the same way as band of asteroids.

However, comets can and do leave our solar system and pass through others, so they are more visitor than permanent part of our solar system.

i think that u should give the answers to peoples question without them having to sign up or sign in. About two minutes maybe 3 depending on the frog or how much they're moving.

Surprisingly, No! Several large asteroids in the belt between Mars and Jupiter were once included as planets. AnswerActually There were only 8 planets before Pluto since the asteroids were never considered planets, so technically Pluto IS the first planet to be demoted. Of course if you want to add to this you could say that the new body, discovered by Mike Brown (2003 UB313) was reclassified as a dwarf planet although it was never officially named a planet. Another wrinkle: The first answer probably comes closer to the truth. Remember that there was no generally accepted definition of planet until recently, so controversy and debate abounded. The reason there were 8 generally accepted planets prior to Pluto is because those that had at one time been considered by some to belong on the list, Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta and others, had been removed over time. These are among the bodies between Mars and Jupiter mentioned above. more detail The only planets visible to the naked eye were the first 5 planets. Asteroids and other bodies were not identifiable until the development of the telescope. Actually, by the time Ceres was discovered (Jan 1, 1801) Uranus' discovery was 20 years old so I don't believe Ceres was ever considered a planet. It is now considered a minor planet under new classification so Ceres has been promoted.

First, we have to figure out what a "year on Pluto" means.

On earth, we call a "year" the time it takes our planet to revolve one complete trip

around the sun. It takes Pluto 248 of those to make one trip around the sun.

Next, we have to tackle the tougher problem of what a "month" means.

On earth, we used to call it a "month" every time the moon went through a complete

cycle of phases. That's about 29.5 of our days. We don't count months that way

any more, but they're still close.

If you want to count months the same way on Pluto, then you run into two serious

problems right away. 1). Pluto has two moons, and they take different lengths of time

to revolve around the planet, so which one are you going to use to count months ?

2). We don't know the orbital period of either one. So let's use earth months instead.

One year on Pluto is 2,976 earth-months long.

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and it is the fastest to orbit the sun. It takes 88 days for the Mercury to completely orbit the sun.

By its movement. That means that more than one observation is required - for example, comparison of photographs made on different days.

Yes. While not considered planets, dwarf planets are still massive enough to be rounded by their gravity.

In Roman mythology Neptune (Greek: Poseidon) was the god of the Sea.

After the discovery of Uranus, it was noticed that its orbit was not as it should be in accordance with Newton's laws. It was therefore predicted that another more distant planet must be perturbing Uranus' orbit. Neptune was first observed by Galle and d'Arrest on 1846 Sept 23 very near to the locations independently predicted by Adams and Le Verrier from calculations based on the observed positions of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. An international dispute arose between the English and French (though not, apparently between Adams and Le Verrier personally) over priority and the right to name the new planet; they are now jointly credited with Neptune's discovery. Subsequent observations have shown that the orbits calculated by Adams and Le Verrier diverge from Neptune's actual orbit fairly quickly. Had the search for the planet taken place a few years earlier or later it would not have been found anywhere near the predicted location.

Yes it does get sunlight but only a very very very small amount - a lot less than we have on earth so Pluto will be a very cold place.

by calculating the time it takes to get to Pluto from Venus. THATS HOW MATH IS USED!!(in Pluto)

I believe that you are talking about a emergency brake symbol. Make sure that the parking brake is completely off. Good luck.

Zero trips pluto is a gass ball that orbits neptune actually pluto is no longer in orbit and is no longer a planet

The little moons Nix and Hydra are about two to three times as far from Pluto as Charon and roughly 5,000 times fainter than Pluto. Eris, another dwarf planet even more distant than Pluto, has a small moon of its own, named Dysnomia. Haumea, another dwarf planet, has two satellites, Hi'iaka and Namaka.

Technically, the planetary status of pluto is no longer a planet, but the term "planet" is simply a name. Scientists have decided that Pluto is no longer a planet mainly because it is just too small. Larger planetary objects have been discovered, and those are not considered planets, so just to keep things simple, Pluto is not considered a planet but as a large planetary object.

There are so many zeros in the value of light years when talking about a few light minutes. 1 light minute is 0.000001901 light years

People do not like to talk about very small numbers and few know by heart that 1 year = 525948.766 minutes or that 1 year = 8765.81277 hours

No. Pluto may be considered a "dwarf planet" but it is still larger than most countries.
