How did Pluto finished?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pluto finished its position as the ninth planet in our solar system in 2006 when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined the definition of a planet. Under the new definition, Pluto did not meet all the criteria required to be classified as a planet, and it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. This decision was made due to the discovery of other similar-sized objects in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the solar system beyond Neptune.

Asked by Wiki User

False. Nothing actually happened to Pluto itself. All that has happened is that, after discovering several new Pluto-like objects, scentists came up with a new definition for a planet that excluded Pluto.

How long would it take to double 2000 at 6 percent interest rate compounded annually?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Using the compound interest formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years, we can solve for t when A = 4000, P = 2000, r = 0.06, and n = 1. Plugging these values in, we get:

4000 = 2000(1 + 0.06/1)^(1t) 2 = (1 + 0.06/1)^(1t) 2 = (1.06)^t

Taking the logarithm of both sides, we can solve for t: log 2 = t log 1.06 t = log 2 / log 1.06

Using a calculator, we find that t is approximately 11.90. Therefore, it would take approximately 12 years to double the initial amount of 2000 at a 6 percent interest rate compounded annually.

What makes pluto dwarf planet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it does not meet all the requirements to be classified as a full-fledged planet. According to the International Astronomical Union's definition, a planet must orbit the sun, be spherical in shape, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. While Pluto orbits the sun and is spherical, it has not cleared its orbit as it shares its path with other objects in the Kuiper Belt. Therefore, Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet.

What is a funfact about Pluto?

A fun fact about Pluto is that it was discovered in 1930 by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. It was considered the ninth planet in our solar system for nearly 76 years before being reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

Why do people protest against Pluto being a dwarf planet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some people protest against Pluto being classified as a dwarf planet because they believe it should still be considered a full-fledged planet like the others in our solar system. They argue that Pluto meets some of the criteria for being a planet and that the reclassification was arbitrary and unnecessary. Additionally, there is sentimental attachment to Pluto as a planet, as many people grew up learning about it as the ninth planet.

What does it mean to say that a dwarf planet neighborhood has not been cleared out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When it is said that a dwarf planet neighborhood has not been cleared out, it means that there are still other small celestial bodies present in the region. According to the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) definition, for a celestial body to be considered a dwarf planet, it must orbit the Sun and have sufficient mass to assume a nearly round shape. However, it does not have to "clear its neighborhood" of other objects, which means that there can still be other similar-sized objects in its vicinity.

What are some differences between Pluto and solid inner planets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One major difference is their size. Pluto is significantly smaller than the solid inner planets like Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Another difference is their composition. Inner planets are primarily composed of rock and metal, while Pluto is composed mostly of ice and rock. Additionally, inner planets have clear and defined orbits around the Sun, while Pluto's orbit is more eccentric and tilted.

Why can't humans live on Pluto?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a write-up i had to do for school on why we shouldn't live on pluto, even if we had the technology to. hope it helps :) WHY NOT TO LIVE ON PLUTO In my opinion, people should not live on Pluto. There are many reasons for why I think this, a few of them being the size, the temperature, the light, and the food. Pluto is so small, that if people were to colonize it, there would be no space! People wouldn't be able to have their own yard (not that they'd want one on Pluto) and everyone would be very cramped up. Now, you might say, well not everyone from Earth is going to live on Pluto. But, although this is true, it is most likely that the majority of people will go live on Pluto. This is because it is new, and adventure, and everyone would think it was great, so everyone would go there. And then everyone would be disappointed because they wouldn't be able to walk without running into someone. The next problem is the temperature. Although we may have the technology to live on Pluto, it doesn't mean that the technology would be ideal. For example, would you like to wear a space suit everyday? You would have no choice of what to wear, and it would be a pain having to go to the washroom! Plus, to keep our houses warm, we would have to use an enormous amount of energy to even get our houses to freezing point! Think of all the pollution! Our Earth has gotten polluted from only using our heaters in certain countries, at certain times of years. Think about how much pollution there would be if every house had its heater on everyday cranked up 1000 times the amount that it usually is! Some people would say, you could use a better type of energy, for example, solar energy. The problem with that is, there is no sunlight on Pluto! Pluto would be so incredibly dark, that there is no way you could get any sunlight to heat up your home with. Which leads me on to the next problem. There is no natural light on Pluto. It is so far away from the sun that it barely gets any of the Sun's heat, or light. Again, there would be a problem with the electricity. Not only would we have to light our homes, we would most likely need to light the streets! Otherwise, we would just live in the dark, we wouldn't be able to see outside, and there would be no walking the dog, going for a run, playing hockey on the street, or anything like that, because we wouldn't be able to see. All outdoor sports would be finished. It is possible though, that you could use technology to build huge lights that would light up great amounts of space outside. But, think of how much energy that would use! And you wouldn't be able to get it from any hydro lines, because there is no water, rivers, or waterfalls. Also, there would be no fossil fuels, because there are no plants or animals discovered that have lived on Pluto, to fossilize. The only possible source of energy is wind, but that is very select, because what if it wasn't windy? You wouldn't be able to see. So you could only go outside on windy days. And, that's a bit unfortunate, because windy days on Pluto are VERY windy., so would you really want to be inside anyways? Therefore, having no light would be a serious issue with living on Pluto. The last issue would be the food. Obviously fruits and vegetables would not be able to be grown on Pluto. Also, unless animals were somehow shipped to Pluto, and were kept in a heated building, we would also have no meat. Therefore, the only way to get food to people living on Pluto would be to take it by a spaceship. This would be kind of hard, considering it takes many years to get there, and all the food would go bad in a couple of days. This means the only food we would really be able to eat would be canned items that won't go bad too fast, like canned pasta, beans, or packaged foods like dry pasta, and chocolate. Therefore, we would not be getting a variety of food and would become unhealthy fairly quickly. Also, what would we drink? There is no water on Pluto, and milk goes bad really easily. So, the only thing we could do would be to ship soda and pop across the universe, and that is not healthy! So therefore, people living on Pluto would get no nutritional food. These are the reasons that people SHOULD NOT live on Pluto.

What material will you need on a spacecraft to trail to Pluto?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For a spacecraft to travel to Pluto, you would need a variety of materials. These would include a sturdy and heat-resistant spacecraft structure capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, a power source such as solar panels or nuclear generators, communication equipment to relay information back to Earth, scientific instruments for studying Pluto's atmosphere and surface, propulsion systems for maneuvering and propulsion, and provisions for the crew's survival, if there is one. Additional materials may be required depending on the specific mission objectives.

Why is Pluto sometimes eclipsed by Charon when seen from Earth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pluto and its moon Charon are tidally locked, which means they always show the same face to each other. When Pluto and Charon orbit around their common center of mass, sometimes Charon passes in front of Pluto from our line of sight, causing an eclipse. This alignment occurs due to their relative positions and orbital motions.

Why are polar bears struggling to survive in the desert?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A desert is not good for a polar bear because it can't help it live. For example polar bears eat fish and other animals so if they lived in the desert it would be most likely that they wouldn't be able to find food and soon enough they would be extinct. Hope I helped :)

ANS2:That question presumes that polar bears don't do just fine in a desert...The frozen wastelands of the north are a form of desert because they have little liquid precipitation and plant life is scarce. Polar bears aren't found in any large numbers in other habitats.
