Does Pluto have the biggest moon?
No. Pluto's main moon, Charon at about half of Pluto's diameter, is the largest moon in proportion to the object it orbits. Several moons in the solar system, including our own, are actually larger than Pluto. The solar system's largest moon is Ganymede, which orbits Jupiter.
Is Pluto in an orbit with another solar system?
No. Pluto orbits in our solar system.
Does the solar system have any planets farther away from the Sun than Pluto?
No, Pluto is the last object in normal rotation around our Sun, although it has been determined that Pluto is not technically a planet.
Why did Pluto get pushed so far away?
It is not clear that Pluto has been pushed anywhere, it is a large Kuiper belt object with an orbit that is not in the plane of the other the Solar System's planet orbits which indicates it is orbiting where it always did. It is Uranus and Neptune that have moved out in their orbits.
Is Pluto really the most distant solar system object?
Sedna is the most distant solar system object discovered so far. It is about three times farther away than Pluto currently is. Because it is so far away, scientists are not sure if it has enough mass to be classified as a dwarf planet.
Which planet is before Pluto?
the planet farther than Pluto is Eris the planet farther than Pluto is Eris the planet farther than Pluto is Eris the planet farther than Pluto is Eris the planet further than neptune is nothing in our solar system but out of our solar system it,s Eris
Does Pluto move with the solar system?
Yes, it hasn't been left behind! Pluto orbits the sun, so as the sun moves, Pluto goes with it.
What is the biggest and the smallest object in the solar system?
The biggest object in the solar system is the sun, and the smallest is Pluto
Is Pluto really clarified to be a member of the solar system?
Pluto is a member of the solar system because any object in the solar system is a member of the solar system. However, if you were asking if Pluto is a planet in the solar system then the answer is no. Pluto used to be a planet but is now considered a dwarf planet.
When did sarah malcome discover pluto?
Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh.Astronomers noticed that the orbits of Neptune and Uranus were being affected by the gravity of an unknown object in the Solar System. Clyde Tombaugh carefully studied images of the night sky, and after a lot of hard work he finally discovered Pluto.
Is Pluto part of the solar system?
Yes. Pluto may no longer be considered a major planet but it is still part of the Solar System! The Solar System includes the Sun, planets, dwarf planets (including Pluto), moons, asteroids, comets, centaurs, trans-Neptunian objects and interplanetary dust particles amongst other things: basically the Sun and everything that orbits around it. Pluto orbits the Sun, so it's still part of the Solar System.
Does Pluto have people living on it?
There are no people on Pluto, or on any other object in our solar system except Earth.
