its still a planet...its just a dwarf planet

kind of like this guy is still a person....just a dwarf one

 

in all seriousness though......















how was he ever considered a planet?

 

Pluto is nothing but ice. Well, thats what they say anyway, not like I can drive out and check.

 

damn expensive gas

 

LOL, not to mention I would be about 40 years old by the time I got thier

 

How the hell is it a dwarf planet? It's either a planet or it's not.

 

ummmm 40? try 400000

pluto is over 3,669,895,260 miles away... LOL

so in other words 58252.30 LIGHT years away... LOL and the speed of light is 186,282.397 miles per second....


so ya basically you aren't getting there.... lol

 

not even with a gt35r? and Nawz? lol jk

 

so like how many planets are we down to now?

 

8...

 

this will convert miles to light years
http://www.calculateme.com/Astronomy...LightYears.htm

In its rotation Pluto is 2.7 billion miles from earth (at its closest point)
3.7 billion is somewhere in the middle of its minimum and maximum distance from earth.

So, here we go....


2,700,000,000 miles = .0004595137420718816 light years
3,700,000,000 miles = .0006297040169133192 light years

The space shuttle orbits at 18,000 mph or 432,000 miles per day
432,000 /day x 365 days of the year = 157,680,000 miles per year
3.7 billion miles divided by 157,680,000 = 23.465 years

2.7 billion miles = 17.123 years

these figures are for as the crow flies so the numbers could easily be doubled or tripled ( once you found the correct orbit to allow you to meet with the planet in a certain time and space) since fuel would be an issue but assuming that we did not have fuel constraints AND considering that you would have to time your arrival to pluto correctly or it would be in a differnt part of the galaxy.

 

according to wikipedia a light year is 5,878,482,164,161 miles away...

so it would be closer to 1/2 a light year away, which would make it 34 years away

 

hmmm interesting dillemma

 

I took this from another website:

Pluto is 6,000,000,000 km from Earth. If you travel at 100 km/hr, just how long would it take you to reach our most distant planet? 60,000,000 hrs. There are only 8760 hours in a year. How many years would it take you to reach Pluto? 6849.3years

So,
18,000 mph = 28968.192 kmh
x 24 = 695,236.608 km (per day)
x 365 = 253,761,361.92 km (per year)
6,000,000,000 / 253,761,361.92 = 23.64 years

 

1 light year is the distance travelled by light in one year.

the distance light travels in 1 year = 5,878,482,164,161 miles (at the speed of light)

Pluto distance is 3.7 billion miles vs. 1 light year which is 5.878 trillion miles so the calculations above are correct.
