Pluto

The Moon has not always sat in the sky watching over the Earth and all its inhabitants. No. In fact the Moon used to wander the earth just like any creature or human does now - as did the Sun. This is the story of what she did before she sat up in the sky. This is the story of the Moon and her only friend. The Sun was loved by all. His heart was warm and his smile was bright. His hands were strong hands that as they touched the earth could make bright green plants sprout from even the driest…

Ray Bradbury’s story, “All Summer in a Day,” takes place on the planet Venus, where it rains heavily all the time. The protagonist, Margot, recently arrived to Venus from Earth. Margot remembers what all the other children living on Venus can’t, the sun. Because Margot is the only one who remembers the light and joy the sun brings, the children grow jealous of her. One lesson that this story suggests is that if you get caught up in your own jealousy, you can end up hurting others. In the…

“Linnéa, would you be kind to solve 14.5 + 2.2.” Her teacher asks, stopping her thoughts. Wanting to make a good first impression on her classmates, Linnéa confidently walks up to the board, careful of not tripping on the extension cord lying across the mat. She doesn’t have to try, she is confident in herself and math. Linnéa is also erudite on the subject of math, but the sudden change and feeling of being so different has made her take a step back and not wanting to draw attention to her.…

Proserpina was but a young girl, with a curious mind, warm-hearted attitude and a will for adventuring into the unknown. She resided in the town of Pleio, with her mother who tried to keep her from wandering off and causing trouble. However, she couldn't quite manage it this time. Proserpina was prancing down the street of Pleio when she saw a man, who was in torn rags, crying on the side of the cobble road. She didn't like seeing people sad, so she went over and asked what was wrong. "Sir, what…

been a NASA spacecraft, called New Horizons, that flew to Pluto to do some studying. The spacecraft took off 9 ½ years ago from Cape Canaveral, Florida and its flight has spanned 3 billion miles. The spacecraft is operated from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. New Horizons has taken pictures of Pluto and has revealed a variety of landscapes. From soaring mountains to dunes to frozen ice. “Pluto is showing us a diversity of landforms,” said Alan Stern,…

Thesis: Pluto is a dwarf planet, dwarf planets are just like regular planets but much smaller, dwarf planets do not clear the path around the sun. The fascinating dwarf planet Pluto is much more petite than the other planets in our Solar System, which makes it a dwarf planet but that is not the only reason why. In the solar system the dwarf planet does not complete the neighborhood around Pluto’s orbit which means it doesn’t clear the path around the sun, this is another reason why Pluto is a…

Pluto, the most puzzling world in the solar system, is the second largest dwarf planet made of ice and rock. It is 5.9 billion km from the Sun; it has the width of North America. It is a very cold place with minimum temperature of -370 degree Fahrenheit on the surface. One year on Pluto is equal to 248 Earth’s years; it takes a very long time to orbit the Sun. In addition, a day in Pluto lasts 6 Earth’s day. Pluto is a world that stands with light and shade, what causes this contrast may be that…

mass, but has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and is not a satellite. This is what we use to classify planets but we don’t have an actual definition for the word planet. Pluto has been a part of our solar system for a long time now, but the question is Pluto a planet is still upon us. Some consider Pluto a planet and some consider it a dwarf planet. By using Kepler’s Third Law we figured out that the mass of Object X is 1.476*10^22kg, and expressed it in Mearth which equals .00247,…

Pluto is known as “dwarf planet” in the planetary system. Also, it’s called the “Dwarf Planet” because of its size. It could be called a “plutoid” because it’s farther out into space. Pluto is occasionally closer to the sun than other times because of the oval orbit. Pluto has five moons, which are Kerberos, Styx, Nix, Hydra, and Charon. Because of the New Horizons information and pictures this data has helped scientists learn more about Pluto. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an astronomer…

Pluto We know Pluto as the dwarf planet that had its planetary status revoked. We know it as the distant 9th planet in our solar system. We know it as the planet billions of miles away from the sun. Even though all of these facts about pluto might be right, we do not know so much about this glorious planet. Pluto is a dwarf planet that was discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century. Over the years, there has been much debate over whether or not we should qualify Pluto as a planet,…
