Pluto was discovered by the astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in February 1930. It was given the status of the ninth planet of the solar system.
As telescopes, particularly in on satellites, improved, more objects were discovered which caused a problem that they were quite small and some astronomers didn't think they qualified as being planets.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) had a vote which was very close. They defined three criteria which a planet must satisfy.
It must be large enough for gravity to overcome structures of materials and make it spherical. Most bodies are flattened spheroids due to rotation.
It must orbit the Sun.
It must have cleared its orbit of other bodies other than moons.
The IAU created a new definition of an object called a dwarf planet which only satisfies the first two criteria. Pluto fails the third criterion, so it was demoted to a dwarf planet.
Many people, including myself, still consider Pluto to be the ninth planet.
To be pedantic, Jupiter has a lot of asteroids in its orbit at its two Lagrange points. They are called trojan asteroids. So, this means that Jupiter fails the IAU's third criterion and should be a dwarf planet, which it is certainly not!
Answer:Ek het geen idee nie jammer :(
Explanation:
PE equals KE when KE is 50%.
Like below:
E = PE + KE
E = 50 + 50
E = 100.
Remember, both KE and PE always have to add up to 100 so that is why PE is equal to KE when KE is 50% of energy.
Hope I helped. :)
Answer:
Electron shell
Nucleus
Neutrons
Explanation:
An atom is made up of three fundamental subatomic particles which are the protons, neutrons and electrons.
- Protons are the positively charged particles. Neutrons do not carry any charges.
- Both protons and neutrons are found in the tiny nucleus at the center of that atom.
- The electrons are negatively charged.
- They are found outside the nucleus in electronic shells.
Smoother because it will increase energy and when the energy increases it’ll create heat also . Example: A car racing on a smooth road it’ll go faster than a Car speeding on a bumpy and rough road , Hope that helps .
