Where is Pluto Now? | Info Family
Because ever since I started making videos on space, I have always said in my videos that there are eight planets in our solar system because if we are Google 2 planets in which Mercury is the first and Neptune is the last planet. The question is, where did Pluto go? This is the question that I am asked the most in the comments. Where is Pluto? Where is Pluto? Is Pluto not in our solar system? You may have forgotten about Pluto and brother, if it is in the solar system. If there are eight planets, then where is Pluto? So, I will only say this for you guys.
Don't take tension because in today's video you are going to get answers to all these questions. Although I get many comments daily, but the topic on which I have received the most comments is Pluto. Perhaps people We want to know what happened to Pluto and why it is no longer considered a planet. People have many questions about Pluto in their minds and if we want to know the answers to all these questions, then for that we have to read the story of Pluto. We will also have to start from the beginning, that is, we will have to go back in time and from the discovery of Pluto to its
We will have to discuss the complete story till the downgrade in detail, so like always this video will also be very interesting, that is why keep watching it till the end, I am Sidra and you are watching your own channel Info Family, so friends, if Talking about Pluto, Pluto was considered a planet for the whole 76 years, that is, when Pluto was seen for the first time in 1930, it was declared the ninth planet and then from 1930 to 2006, i.e. for the whole 76 years, it was considered a planet. It is understood that if you are from school before 2006 then you have
You must have definitely read in school books that there are nine planets in the solar system and Pluto is the last planet. Well, Pluto was in the list of planets for a long time, so perhaps it is difficult for people to digest the fact that Pluto is now one of the planets. It is not a planet. Friends, in 2006, Pluto was removed from the list of planets and it was declared a second planet, that is, understand that Pluto is no longer a planet but an asteroid. If you google3 4340, now how did all this happen, why did it happen? Let us understand in some detail, friends, this story started in 1905 because 1905
There was a scientist named Perceive Lowe. He believed that Neptune is not the last planet but there is another planet behind it which is still hidden from our eyes because when he observed the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. When they studied it thoroughly, they realized that something was disturbing the orbit of these two planets and that thing was nothing but a very big planet which they named Planet But Natalie dies and her discovery remains incomplete. Friends, Perceive.
Laval also had an observatory named Laval Observatory. He died in 1915 and Astronova, who worked in his observatory for 14 years from 1915 to 1929, failed and he did not discover Planet Well, 14 years passed like this and then in 1929, a new Astronova joined, whose name was Clyde Tommo. Friends, Clyde Tommo, a young astronomer could do nothing in 14 years and that work was to find Planet X. Yes friends, Clyde Tom. Bock discovered Planet
And keep trying to see a star which is moving because if a star moves then it means that it is not a star but a planet because the star remains fixed in its place. But planets do not exist, so Clyde Tomo observed the stars carefully for a whole year and in January 1930, he finally found a star which was moving from its place. At first he thought that maybe it could be a mistake. But when he took images of that star for several days continuously, he got confirmed that it was not a star.
(Rather, it is a planet because it was not fixed at its place but it was moving from one point to another, so finally they found a moving star and this is how Planet X was discovered. Friends, Planet X is now discovered. It was done but the problem was that astronomically like Cronus Atlas Array just Persephone and Prometheus etc. etc. Well they had a lot of names but they did not think that any of these names would be perfect for this planet so after a lot of suggestions came The name he liked best was Plu
The name was suggested by an 11 year old little girl whose name was Venetia Berne Venetia felt that the name Pluto would be perfect for this planet because friends, in Roman mythology, Pluto was the name of a god who ruled the underworld. If we look at Planet X, then Planet Starts where trillions of objects form a circle around the sun
They are orbiting around the world, which includes many asteroids, comets Dwight and Icy Rocks, etc. So friends, we call this region of space the Kuiper Belt and if any object is the biggest in the Kuiper Belt, then it is Pluto, so perhaps it is wrong to say this now. It would not be that the Kuiper Belt is an underworld and Pluto is the secret of the underworld, so this was the reason why Planet But no one knew what the size of this planet was.
[Music] So friends, if we talk about the size of Pluto, then initially the scientists thought that Pluto is much bigger than the Earth and its size is probably equal to that of Uranus and Neptune, but friends, it was not so, friends, as Pluto was studied. As this was done, it came to light that Pluto is neither bigger than Earth nor is it the same size as our Earth, but in fact it is smaller than our Moon. Yes friends, Pluto is almost half the size of our Moon and if If we compare the size of Pluto with Earth then the width of Earth is six times more than Pluto and if Pluto is placed inside Earth then
If filled, about 170 Plutos will fit comfortably in it, so you can guess for yourself how small Pluto will be, so this is the size of Pluto, let's now talk about the distance of Pluto, so friends, if we talk about the distance. So Pluto E is so far that even today's modern telescopes are not able to capture its images properly. Friends, Pluto is 7.4 billion kilometers from the Sun or 49.
It is 4 astronomical units away and if you do not know astronomical units then let me tell you that the distance between the Sun and the Earth is called one astronomical unit in the language of science, that is, for example, Pluto is 49 astronomical units away from the Sun. This means that it is 49 times more distant from the Sun and the Earth and as I said, Pluto is so far from the Sun that even today's modern telescopes are not able to capture its images well, so these are the images of Pluto which Hubble In these pictures taken by the telescope, you can see that Pluto
It looks so fuzzy, neither the color of Pluto can be seen properly nor its details are visible, this was the reason why scientists were having difficulty in studying Pluto and they had understood that if they If they want to study Pluto well, then they will have to send a special spacecraft to Pluto and thinking this, they design a special spacecraft whose name was New Horizons [Music] Friends, New Horizon is the only spacecraft till date which can go to Pluto. But it was specially made because it was Pluto
Go and show us its clear images and at the same time study Pluto. As soon as New Horizon reaches Pluto and takes its images, those images are like this. Now in these pictures you can see how clear the colors of Pluto are. And how are all the details of Pluto visible? Friends, New Horizons was launched in 2006, which then reached Plut in 2015, that is, it took 9 years to reach Plut and in this long journey of 9 years, What did he see in this is a very long topic on which we
We will discuss in detail in a next video, so let's move ahead friends. Although New Horizon is the only spacecraft to go to Pluto, before New Horizon, Verger One and Verger T were also launched which were used to study the gas giants of our solar system. What was to be done was that Vajra One had studied Jupiter and Saturn and Vajra Two had studied Uranus and Neptune. Now the fact is that if the scientists wanted, they could have sent Vajra V and T2 to Pluto also but till then this thing came to their mind. And instead of sending these two spacecraft to Pluto,
Friends, as we know that Pluto is 7.4 billion kilometers away from the Sun, then this distance is so much that it is equivalent to no sunlight on Pluto. Friends, the sunlight reaches Pluto on less than 1 km and This is the reason why the sky of Pluto is so dark that you can easily see the stars there even during the day and similarly, if we talk about the temperature, then the temperature of Pluto is colder than all the planets where the lowest temperature of Uranus is - 224 degree Celsius and Neptune has the lowest temperature - 224 degree Celsius. Ka - is 214 degrees Celsius, while Pluto's
Temperature - goes up to 233 degrees Celsius, which makes it colder than all the other planets. Friends, you will be surprised to know that the orbit of all the planets in our solar system is not round but elliptical, that is, all the planets are in a circle. They do not orbit but orbit in an egg shape path, which we call elliptical orbit, so the orbit of all the planets is slightly elliptical, but if we look at Pluto, then Pluto's orbit is not slightly elliptical but extremely elliptical, in fact it is so much so.
Elliptical is that sometimes Pluto comes ahead of Neptune in its orbit and Earth becomes planet and how this happens, let me explain friends, when Pluto is at the farthest point from the Sun in its orbit, then its distance It is 7.4 billion km which we call Aflin and similarly when Pluto comes to the closest point to the Sun, its distance is 4.
4 billion kilometers remains which we call peri helium and at this point Pluto comes ahead of Neptune because friends, the distance of Neptune is 4.5 billion kilometers but Pluto is 4.4 billion kilometers away at this point and this can happen even once. Friends, from February 1979 to February 1999 i.e. for 20 years, Pluto was ahead of Neptune and was the eighth planet of the solar system, which is a very interesting thing. Similarly, friends, if we talk about rotation, then Pluto also rotates like Venus and Uranus. Rotates clockwise While all the planets rotate anti-clockwise, these three rotate clockwise.
Roam Wise Friends, although Pluto is much smaller in size than both Mercury and Venus, but both Mercury and Venus do not have one thing which Pluto has and that thing is the Moon. Yes friends, where Mercury and Venus have their own. There is not even a single moon, whereas Pluto has five moons which are Nix Stix Hydra Care Brus and the most special Charon because friends, Charon is the biggest moon of Pluto which keeps dancing with Pluto, that is, it orbits around Pluto. but at the same time it also orbits Pluto around itself.
And all this happens because of the large size of Charon. Friends, the size of Charon is almost half of Pluto and this is the reason that the gravity of Charon has a lot of effect on Pluto, due to which both Pluto and Charon keep revolving around each other. Well friends, when I was reading all this, I read one more interesting thing and that is that if Pluto had not been a planet then today it would have been a moon of Neptune, because many scientists believe that there was a time when Pluto and Triton both passed near Neptune, Pluto passed by Neptune but Triton
It was captured by Neptune's gravity and made it one of its moons, that is, if Pluto had also come into Neptune's orbit, then today it too would have been a moon of Neptune like Triton. Well friends, there is still a lot to tell about Pluto. But I think the video will be too long and you guys will get bored, so now I will not talk much and will answer your question that why is Pluto not a planet, so now let's talk about the downgrade of Pluto. [Music] Friends, Pluto remained a planet for 76 years from 1930 to 2006.
But in 2006, Pluto was removed from the list of planets and why did this happen? Let's understand friends, the thing is that apart from Pluto, there are many other objects which could have been made planets like this Dwight named Ceres. Look, this Dwight is present between Mars and Jupiter i.e. in the Asto Belt, so it too could have become a planet. Apart from this, friends, there are many objects and dust planets in the Kuiper Belt too which are orbiting around the Sun like Eris Hamia and Make Make Make etc etc. So now if all these objects are made planets
Had it been given, there would have been so many planets in the solar system that perhaps it would have been difficult to even remember their names, so considering all this, in 2006, according to the IU i.e. International Astronomical Union, if any object fulfills all those conditions astronomically, then that object will become a planet and that The conditions were that the planet should be a satellite body and should orbit around the Sun, which Pluto does. The planet should have enough mass that it can mold itself into an almost round shape, then Pluto also fulfills this condition. If the planet should not have a moon then
Pluto is not a moon, the fourth and last condition is that the neighborhood in the orbit of the planet should be clear. Now what does this mean? Well, at first even I did not understand its meaning, but after studying a lot, I understood, friends, it means that the planet. The planet must have enough gravity to keep its orbit clean, that is, it can push any object coming in its orbit out of the orbit with its own gravity, whether it is an asteroid or a dwarf. Unfortunately, Pluto Could not fulfill this condition, Pluto does not have that much gravity.
That it can keep its orbit clean and this is the reason why Pluto was removed from the list of planets in 2006 itself and it was declared a Dwight, i.e. a planet which is missing one or the other of all these conditions. So if you read Pluto as a ninth in your books
