Answer:

D.)it orbits near the Kepler belt

Explanation:

The Kuiper belt is an area similar to the asteroide belt extending from the orbit of Neptune to about 50 AU from the Sun. It mainly consists of icy asteroids and dwarf planets, which are rocky objects big enough to be defined as planet but that do not have enough gravity to clear their orbit from other obejcts.

Pluto was discovered in 1930 - initially it was classified as a planet, although it is much smaller than the other 8 planets of the Solar System. However, it has been recently de-classified to dwarf planet because its gravity is not enough to clear its orbit from other objects (asteroids). Pluto is located inside the Kuiper belt, so option D is correct. Other dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt are for instance Haumea and Makemake.

Answer:

<h2>D.) it orbits near the Kuiper belt.</h2>

Explanation:

You mean the Kuiper Belt, not the Kepler Belt.

The Kuiper Belt refers to the circumstellar disc that is border region of the Solar System, when Pluto it's present. Actually is from the Neptune's orbit to the outer Solar System.

The Kuiper Belt, we can define it as a larger asteroid belt, that contains three dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea and Makemake. Dwarf planets refers to "planets" that have little mass, but they are not satellites, however they don't domain its region. So, it's like a satellite but we some characteristics of planets.

As the moon revolves around the earth,it also rotated on its axis why is that the same side of the moon is always visible from e
Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Our lunar companion rotates while it orbits Earth. It's just that the amount of time it takes the moon to complete a revolution on its axis is the same it takes to circle our planet — about 27 days. As a result, the same lunar hemisphere always faces Earth.

How can u tell matched forces act on objects?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When

that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not

possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it
