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.

How many Pluto's fit in Uranus?
Well about 63 Earths could fit in Uranus and 157 Plutos would fit in earth. So basic multiplication gives you approximately 9891 Plutos could fit in Uranus.
Americans associate Pluto with the Disney character of the same name.
apex got it right
The interview contains run-on sentences and "filler" words while the preface uses complete sentences in an unemotional way.
He considered Pluto to be an icy body and not a planet (apex 1.1.6)
Because it displayed the characteristics of an icy body
Have humans or human made objects traveled on by or on Pluto?
Humans have never gone farther than the moon. In 2015 the New Horizons space probe made a flyby of Pluto. It was the first time any man-made object has come close to Pluto.
What reason does Dr. Tyson give for excluding Pluto from the museum exhibit?
Dr. Tyson explains that Pluto was excluded from the museum exhibit because it no longer fits the scientific definition of a planet. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union redefined what constitutes a planet, and Pluto was reclassified as a "dwarf planet" due to its inability to clear its orbit of other debris. Tyson emphasizes the importance of adhering to current scientific standards and definitions when presenting astronomical information.
I don't know what "captured asteroid" means in this sense (though I can't imagine any scenario in which it might conceivably be applied to Pluto). The opinion of the International Astronomical Union is that Pluto is not a planet, because it has not "cleared its orbit". That's not a "hypothesis", it's a fact.
What are some attractions about Pluto?
Pluto is the furthest planet in the solar system from the sun. No astronauts have ever been actually on Pluto. THERE ARE NO TOURIST ATTRACTIONS ON PLUTO!
What factors make Pluto different from the major planets?
There is only one factor that makes Pluto different from major planets:
Pluto has not cleared its "neighborhood" of asteroids and debris.
What is night and day like on the planet Pluto?
The surface of Pluto, in comparison, can range from a low temperature of 33 Kelvin (-240 degrees Celsius or -400 degrees Fahrenheit) and 55 Kelvin (-218 degrees Celsius or -360 degrees Fahrenheit). The average surface temperature on Pluto is 44 Kelvin (-229 Celsius or -380 Fahrenheit).
Does earth have more volume than Pluto?
Yes, it does. Earth has a diameter of 12,756km, whereas Pluto has a diameter of 2,390km. Assuming that they are perfect spheres, the Earth has a volume of about 8,694,250,468,781 km^3, and Pluto has a volume of 57,185,025,428 km^3. As such, the Earth has a volume that is more than 152 times greater than that of Pluto.
Pluto is thought to be made up of mostly ice it is the furthest planet from the sun in our solar system. The outer layer what we call Pluto's crust is made of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and methane gases.
How does the distance of the sun affect the velocity of a planet?
From Kepler's laws it can be shown that the orbital speeds of the planets are proportional to the inverse square root of their distances from the Sun.
Thus a planets at four times the distance would travel at half the speed.
Is Phobos terrestrial or gas giant?
Neither. Those terms apply to planets. Phobos is a small moon, likely an asteroid that got caught in Mars' gravity.
What robot has visited Pluto and what year?
there has not been a landing on pluto but will be in 2015
What has been composed of ice frozen gases and rock and has been described as a dirty snowball?
comets
Is Pluto less than two thrids of the size of the earth?
Yes, Pluto is significantly smaller than Earth, with a diameter less than half of Earth's. It is about two-thirds the size of Earth's moon. Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet rather than a full-fledged planet due to its size and characteristics.
What are the most common methods of identity theft?
the two most common ones are the physical theft of identification documents and information and computer-based, cyber-space theft. In addition, there are organized crime schemes aimed at stealing personal information
Neptune takes how much time to complete one revolution around sun?
Neptune takes around 165 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Ice. Pluto, Charon, and pluto's other moons are not known to have any internal processes capable of generating sufficient heat to melt ice at their distance from the sun.
Pluto has gone from being called a planet to being called a dwarf planet. That is the only change. Charon is much smaller than Pluto, they are tidally locked to each other always facing each other, and the barycenter is outside of Pluto, but it is not likely to have a name change in the near future as there are not enough people who insist that Charon is a co-planet, the binary Dwarf planet Pluto-Charon. For now it stays as Pluto the dwarf planet.
The reason for the change in status is because of the change in the definition of a planet.
A "planet" is a celestial body that:
(a) is in orbit around the Sun,
(b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and
(c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.
A "dwarf planet" is a celestial body that:
(a) is in orbit around the Sun,
(b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape,
(c) has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, and
(d) is not a satellite.
What are 2 different ways that the 9 different planets can be classified?
terrestrial or Jovian
The terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal and have relatively high densities, slow rotation, solid surfaces, no rings and few satellites.

The terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal and have relatively high densities, slow rotation, solid surfaces, no rings and few satellites.
The Jovian or gas planets are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium and generally have low densities, rapid rotation, deep atmospheres, rings and lots of satellites.
