Give 10 facts about pluto
Hellas Planitia includes the word "planitia" which is the latin word for "plain" in its name.
The name would seem to indicate thats Hellas Planitia is a low lying plain, yet it is clearly a crater, and a very large one at that.
The most probable reason for this discrepancy in its name is because:
a. It is a simple naming error that for some reason has so far escaped correction.
b. There is a disagreement among astronomers about the true nature of Hellas Planitia.
c. Its true nature was not apparent over 100 years ago when it was observed using ground based telescopes.
d. Astronomers really know its true nature and misconceptions among the public among the public are not of great concern to them.
a) What are the characteristics of a terrestrial planet? b) What are the characteristics of aJovian planet?

Why or why not?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is least reasonable regarding impact craters? Group of answer choices The size and shape of the crater and the amount of material excavated depends on factors such as the velocity and mass of the impacting body and the geology of the surface. Craters are most often are circular but more elongate craters can be produced with impactors striking the surface at very low angles. The Moon has more craters than the Earth because of its strong tidal force on the impactors. Objects from space typically hit Earth at about 20 km/s ande produce craters that can be approximately 20 times larger in diameter than the impacting objects. The faster the incoming impactor, the larger the crater.arrow_forward
- You have read all the material you could find about The Howler and about The Cylinder of Fate . Based on this reading and some information about the sea floor and tides in the area where The Howler was thought to have sunk, you suggest that the team start by taking the search boat 65 meters due east of shore. At this distance the angle of depression between the shore and the hypothetical location of The Howler and its treasure should be about. The search boat will be at the vertex of a angle between the shore and the treasure below. Use this information and what you know about solving triangles using trigonometric functions to explore the questions below. What is the straight-line distance between the treasure and the shore?
