Pluto Five Moons

You are too much for this world. It was not meant to contain a vagabond who wishes to touch all of the universe’s walls and visit all the stars upstairs. I know tomorrow's only a concept, but tomorrow is actually hump day and I want to hear your unseasoned incessant giggles  (for the umpteenth time). Monotony would become the new tyrant if you fastened Mercury to your heels and flew and I know that I am only Pluto, but friend

Pluto shouldn’t be described and identified or labeled a dwarf planet because it has the same features as other planets, it does everything the other planets do and more, most importantly each planet is different making pluto the same. Pluto should be considered a planet it’s not fair! According to, Charles Q. Choi, Space.com Contributor, Pluto has 5 moons. According to Nine Planets, Pluto has an atmosphere consisting of mainly nitrogen extending to 1,600 km above the surface. According to Business Insider, scientists estimate that smooth patch on Pluto is only about 100 million years old, as

It was discovered in Arizona, USA and an eleven year old girl from England won the naming contest, naming the new planet "Pluto" after the Roman god of the underworld. Astronomers are not certain, but they think that the composition is similar to Triton's with 70% rock and 30% ice. It has a low pressure atmosphere containing nitrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide. It is about one sixth the mass of Earth's moon and has five natural satellites, it's most famous moon being Charon. The other four moons were discovered in the 21st century, named Nix, Hydra, Kerberos, and Styx. There is a spacecraft called New Horizons that has just made it to Pluto. This fairly recent discovery, however, did not even make a full revolution around the sun before it was demoted to a dwarf planet for not complying with the last of the three planet requirements: "It has cleared the neighborhood of its orbit of any other space debris." It has now been named a dwarf planet, a title given to celestial bodies what are missing just one of the three requirements to become a

Secondly,what is pluto,a planet,a planet oid or a comet? The outward-bound voyager one and two spacecraft were both launched in 1977,which started the drama about Pluto. Pluto is twice the size of Ceres and the largest known asteroid.

If you are interested in planets, then Pluto’s history, similarities the sun, and fun facts are for you!

Pluto should be given the title “planet” for a number of reasons. Pluto was classified as a planet in 1930 until the International Astronomical Union altered the definition of a "planet" and stripped Pluto of the title. Some Astronomers say the International Astronomical Union’s planet definition is fundamentally amiss. The new definition requires that a planet has to gravitationally clear its orbit. What about the Trojan asteroids at Jupiter? What about space dust? That rule could dwindle the number of planets to zero. David Aguilar of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics asserts, “If we can adjust the definition of planet, just slightly, then Pluto can be included in our solar system.” Most astronomers say Pluto is too small,

planets. If Pluto isn't a planet then how does it have three moons? I think that if something has a

Astronomers have found that Pluto is 2.66 billion miles away from earth . They used the reflective telescope to find this out.

New Horizons has visited Pluto before.Pluto once considered the ninth and most distant planet from the Sun is now the largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System.There is virtually no chance that Pluto has a life living on its surface.Composition is rocks,water ice, methane, carbon monoxide.Appearance’s is very icy and rocky.The color

I believe Pluto should still be viewed as a planet I grew up learning about the solar system and it’s nine planets. It made a significant impact when our teacher taught us an mnemonic to help us remember the order of the nine planets.Then a couple of years passed then the educators told us pluto is not a planet any more it had the entire class confused. Now after reading this article by Robert Roy Britt and learning only 424 astronomers was permitted to vote out of the numerous expert astronomers we have around the world. I feel that the change is even more bogus now then it was when the change was made in

Pluto is two thirds the size of Earth's moon. Pluto was discovered by an astronomer from the United States named Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. It takes Pluto 248 Earth years for it to make a full orbit around the sun. One day on Pluto is 6 1\2 days on Earth. Pluto is so cold and icy because it is around 40 times farther away from the sun than Earth is. Also, it is so cold on Pluto that oxygen Pluto is in a part of the Kuiper belt which is full of thousands of icy objects smaller than Pluto. Pluto also even has its own moons. Pluto has 5 of its own moons. Those moons are named Charon, Kerberos, Styx, Nix, and Hydra. Pluto’s largest moon is Charon. Charon is approximately half the size of Pluto.

Pluto 's life as a planet was very short, lasting only 75 years—which is less than a third of its orbital period. While Pluto independently orbits the sun in a spheroidal shape—two classifications for being considered a planet—Pluto lost its title with the discovery of Eris. Pluto also travels on a different plane than the rest of the planets, and because it has an extremely elliptical orbit, it occasionally crosses Neptune 's orbital path and, therefore, is occasionally closer to Earth than Neptune (Countdown, 2011). As a dwarf planet Pluto is the only binary planet in the system due to one of its five moons being half of its size.

Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet, due to its small size. Pluto is also known as the King of the Kuiper Belt (Dunford, "Pluto: Overview: King of the Kuiper Belt"). Pluto has five moons. There are no rings on Pluto. Here are some more facts about Pluto: • One Rotation: 6.2 Earth days • One Revolution: 248 Earth years • Distance from Sun: 39.48 AU (3.7 billion miles) • Distance from Earth: 2.66 billion miles • Equatorial Diameter: 1,474 miles C.

Pluto used to be considered the ninth planet of our solar system, but in 2006 Pluto 's planetary classification was changed to a dwarf planet (Choi). Pluto is located in the Kuiper belt and it orbits beyond Neptune, which makes Pluto a trans-Neptunian object, or TNO (Schneider and Arny 380-381). Pluto’s elliptical orbit of the sun takes 248 years, and on average it is approximately 3.6 billion miles from the sun (Dunbar). Pluto has an extremely cold atmosphere since it is so far away from the sun. On average, Pluto’s atmospheric temperature is -390 degrees Fahrenheit, or 40 K (Schneider and Arny 380). NASA recently launched a new mission to explore Pluto and its atmosphere with the New Horizons spacecraft, and we have also learned new information about Pluto’s topography. Pluto has many mountain ranges, lands with deep craters, frozen plains, and flowing nitrogen ice. The frozen plains on the eastern side of Pluto are believed to be younger than its deep-cratered, western areas. The eastern plains of Pluto are only thought to be 100 million years old, and the western area may be billions of years old (“NASA’s New Horizons Finds”). Pluto also has five moons that are being explored as part of the New Horizons mission. Pluto’s moons are: Charon, Hydra, Nix, Styx, and Kerberos – all of which have variable spin rates (“Last of Pluto’s Moons”).
