Dwarf Planet Pluto

Technically, since Pluto is no longer a planet, but a dwarf planet, Uranus is the planet that takes the longest to orbit the sun.

In Greek mythology, Pluto, the god of the underworld, fell in love with Proserpine, the daughter of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, after seeing her beauty while she was picking flowers. Pluto later abducted Proserpine and took her to the underworld to be his queen.

Mercury is a terrestrial planet, which means it has a solid rocky surface like Earth. It is composed mostly of metal and rock, with a large iron core. It has a thin atmosphere primarily consisting of oxygen, sodium, and helium.

No, plants would not survive on Pluto as the extremely low temperatures (around -375°F or -225°C) and lack of sufficient sunlight would prevent photosynthesis and plant growth. Additionally, the lack of a substantial atmosphere or liquid water would make it impossible for plants to survive on Pluto.

Pluto is made of mostly ice. It probably also has a small rocky core which might contain some metals. The ice on the surface of Pluto is made of frozen nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide. The ice covering Pluto reflects a lot of sunlight making it appear brighter than it would if it had been covered with a darker rocky material.

No, Pluto is a dwarf planet in our solar system, not a white dwarf star. White dwarfs are remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and collapsed. Pluto is too small to undergo nuclear fusion and become a star.

No, the moon is not a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits Earth. The eight planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

I know a lot! For example there are 8 planets and I believe 6 Plutaroids, there may be more.

The Plutaroids that I know about a Pluto, Eris, Makemake, Ceres ( Not sure if spelled right), Quaoar, and Sedna. There is lots to know about planets, so if this gets you interested your welcome.

Kepler discovered that the planets orbit the Sun in elliptical shapes. This means that their orbits are not perfect circles, but instead are stretched out ovals with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.

Yes.

It was sent in 2006 and will get there in 2014.

The probe that is headed to Pluto is called New Horizons. It was launched by NASA in 2006 to study Pluto and its moons.

There are no known animals on Pluto as it is a small, cold, and distant dwarf planet located in the outer regions of our Solar System. The extreme conditions on Pluto, such as its low temperatures and lack of atmosphere, make it inhospitable for animals or any form of complex life.

I do not understand your question, but I can tell you that Neptune has 13 moons and Pluto has 3.

Planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets all orbit around the sun in our solar system. Moons also orbit around planets and some dwarf planets in the solar system.

No, Pluto is not the farthest planet from the Sun. It used to be considered the ninth planet, but is now classified as a dwarf planet. The farthest planet from the Sun is Neptune.

Pluto's equator has a circumference of about 4,547 kilometers.

Mercury: 0.387 AU

Venus: 0.723 AU

Earth: 1.000 AU

Mars: 1.524 AU

Jupiter: 5.204 AU

Saturn: 9.582 AU

Uranus: 19.229 AU

Neptune: 30.104 AU

No, it is not true that Pluto has 7 satellites. Pluto actually has five known satellites which are Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra.

Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it did not meet all three criteria defined by the International Astronomical Union for a full-fledged planet. Pluto's size, location in the solar system, and its inability to clear its orbit of other debris led to its reclassification as a dwarf planet in 2006.

Yes, Pluto is massive enough for its own gravity to pull it into a nearly spherical shape. Although it is not a perfect sphere due to its relatively small size and irregular composition, its gravity is strong enough to overcome its rigid structure and mold it into a round shape.

Vega is relatively close at 25 light years. At one tenth of the speed of light, it would still take 250 years to reach it from our solar system.

Pluto was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union due to its size, orbit, and inability to clear its orbital path of other debris in the Kuiper Belt. This decision was made to better define what constitutes a planet in our solar system.

Pluto is not considered a Jovian planet because it is much smaller and composed primarily of rock and ice, whereas Jovian planets are large gas giants composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, Pluto's orbit is more elliptical and tilted compared to the Jovian planets, which follow more circular orbits in the outer solar system.

Pluto was officially reclassified as a dwarf planet on August 24, 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) due to its size and its failure to meet all three criteria necessary to be classified as a full-fledged planet.

Pluto takes about 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun, so it will orbit the sun again in about 180 years.
