given the figures, another way to "imagine" how far it is\n IS that Light (at 186,000miles/sec)takes about 8.3 minutes to get to earth from the sun and takes 5.5 hours to get to pluto\n\nPluto is 40 times the distance away from the sun as the earth \n\nOver 11,000 earths will fit between the sun and earth if lined up so about 460,000 earths fit between the sun and pluto.\n\nAlso if the Sun was a beach ball, the earth would be a pea and Pluto would be A LARGE grain of sand.\n\n\n\nThe numbers are often useless unless we "translate them" into "concrete" terms because we have peas er I mean grains of sand for brains ;)))).

To begin with, pluto unlike the other planets does not orbit the same war around the Sun like the other planets. Pluto's orbit is oval. There will be a time where by pluto will be closer to the Sun then Neptune for every 22 years. So thats 1 point to think about. Also some scientist debate that Pluto is juz a passing by asteroid that got attracted to the solar system gravitational field. Pluto is also much smaller in size to be a gaseous planet comparing to Uranus or Neptune which is all gaseous planet.

It takes the earth 365.25 days to complete one revolution of the sun.

Pluto is the fartherest planet, there is some discussion about it being a planet or not but for this answer we'll let it be one, from the sun during most of it's orbit. It's 5,913,520,000Km from the Sun.\nThe Main asteriod belt lies between Mars and Jupiter, roughly 374,172,480Km from the sun, the planets run Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto.\nThe Kuiper Belt, made up of comets instead of asteriods, lies outside of the orbit of Pluto and some think Pluto is just a comet from this belt. Then going way on out past the Kuiper Belt you run into the Oort Cloud roughly 22,450,348,800,000Km from the Sun and made up of trillions of cometary bodies.

The distance between Earth and Pluto varies as the two planets move around their orbits. When they are closest, they are about 29 A.U. apart; at most, the distance is about 51 A.U. Since light travels about 300,000 kilometers each second, it would take light anywhere between 8 hours and 14 hours to make the round-trip journey to Pluto from Earth.\n\nRadio signals travel at the same speed as light. If you were using radio signals to control a robot on Pluto, you would have to be very patient. If you sent your robot a command to move, the command would arrive at least 4 hours later. Then, if your robot took a picture and sent it back to Earth, it would take at least 4 more hours before you could see that picture! \n\n\n\nAU\n\nAU, which stands for "astronomical unit", is a unit for measuring distance. One AU is the average distance from the Sun's center to the Earth's center. It is equal to 149,597,871 km (92,955,807 miles).\n\nAUs are often more convenient to use than kilometers when measuring large distances such as those in space. In this case kilometers are just too small - it would be like measuring the distance from Boston to San Francisco in inches. AUs simply make a measurement easier to understand and give you something to compare it to.\n\nFor example, Saturn's orbit around the Sun has an average radius of 9.5 AU, which means that Saturn is about ten times farther from the Sun than Earth is. The average distance from the Sun to distant Pluto is about 40 AU. Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun, orbits at an average distance of 0.39 AU.\n\nAUs are generally used for measurements of distances within our Solar System. Distances to stars are much larger, and are expressed in terms of light years. One light year is equal to more than 63,000 AUs. The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is just over 4 light years away.\n\nAlthough Pluto was discovered in 1930, limited information on the distant planet delayed a realistic understanding of its characteristics. Today Pluto remains the only planet that has not been visited by a spacecraft, yet an increasing amount of information is unfolding about this peculiar planet. The uniqueness of Pluto's orbit, rotational relationship with its satellite, spin axis, and light variations all give the planet a certain appeal.\n\nPluto is usually farther from the Sun than any of the nine planets; however, due to the eccentricity of its orbit, it is closer than Neptune for 20 years out of its 249 year orbit. Pluto crossed Neptune's orbit January 21, 1979, made its closest approach September 5, 1989, and will remain within the orbit of Neptune until February 11, 1999. This will not occur again until September 2226.\n\nAs Pluto approaches perihelion it reaches its maximum distance from the ecliptic due to its 17-degree inclination. Thus, it is far above or below the plane of Neptune's orbit. Under these conditions, Pluto and Neptune will not collide and do not approach closer than 18 A.U. to one another.\n\nPluto's rotation period is 6.387 days, the same as its satellite Charon. Although it is common for a satellite to travel in a synchronous orbit with its planet, Pluto is the only planet to rotate synchronously with the orbit of its satellite. Thus being tidally locked, Pluto and Charon continuously face each other as they travel through space.\n\nUnlike most planets, but similar to Uranus, Pluto rotates with its poles almost in its orbital plane. Pluto's rotational axis is tipped 122 degrees. When Pluto was first discovered, its relatively bright south polar region was the view seen from the Earth. Pluto appeared to grow dim as our viewpoint gradually shifted from nearly pole-on in 1954 to nearly equator-on in 1973. Pluto's equator is now the view seen from Earth.\n\nDuring the period from 1985 through 1990, Earth was aligned with the orbit of Charon around Pluto such that an eclipse could be observed every Pluto day. This provided opportunity to col

365.256366 Earth days around the Sun, if that's what you mean. Or 24 hours around its axis.

its probably half way to pluto by now. you could write the plutonians and ask them to email it back to you, this may take a few days though.

To answer your second question first (I'm just an ornery cuss), Pluto is still a member of the Solar System. It's no longer considered a planet, though. It is now called a dwarf planet because of its size and extremely anomalous orbit (so look it up already).Just like the moon. asteroids, etc. it is still part of the Solar System.\n\nAs to the 1st part of your question-------Usually, as long as Mickey gives him table scraps instead of that crap from the can.Woof!Woof!

Earth revolves around this shinning star called a sun and it takes about 365 to 366 days to make a round trip around the sun.\n\n60 minutes and not 100 minutes --> Ever looked at a globe and the time zones? \n\nweek consists of 7 days --> Again with the Earth revolving around the sun.

At that rate, it'd take about 2 trillion years for the earth to reach the distance from the sun where Venus is.  The solar system is only about 4 or 5 billion years old.  Answer: Venus was almost certainly never where we are.

You mean solar system.\n\nIt's kinda up in the air. Something less than 400 members of the 10,000 member IAU voted under a veil of assumed authority to downgrade Pluto's status as a planet after they rewrote the rule book. Most of the new criteria they established that must be met in order for an object to be considered a planet is met by Pluto. It orbits a star, it has a moon, and it is generally spherical in shape. The disqualifying new rule was that Pluto has not cleared its orbital path around the sun and there are other objects sharing the same orbit. This would mean that if another object enters or is found to exist in the same orbital path of the Earth, the Earth would not be a planet. The IAU also failed to take into consideration as to whether or not Pluto is in the process of clearing its orbital path and just needs a few billion more years.\n\nAdd to this the unusual construction of some of the other so called planets and confusion continues to mount. Jupiter, for instance, gives off more energy than it absorbs from the sun and is gaseous being constructed more like the sun than the Earth. Some scientists believe that fusion is also taking place at its core. You could say that it is more like a colder star than a planet, whatever a planet is. \n\nSo, who knows how many planets there are?

Non have as of this date, NASA either did launch a probe or is about too that will visit Pluto because it is the closest to the Earth that it will be for another 300 years.\n\nfound this link after I answered.
