Wait, can someone confirm, is pluto really this small? level 2 According to Wikipedia, Pluto's mean radius is ~1200 km, whilst Earth's moon is ~1700 km. The distance between Sydney and Perth is ~3300 km. level 2 Pluto’s diameter: 2400km Length of Australia: 3300km So, yes it is that small. No wonder people were questioning if it was a planet. level 2 No, Australia is just that big. level 2 Errmm well you still have to unwrap it since it's a sphere and then it's about 5 Australias or if you're from America 38 texases or slightly smaller than Russia. level 2 There's a reason it was downgraded to a dwarf planet. level 1 Pluto being slightly more habitable than Australia. level 2 Because there are no Australians on Pluto level 1 So you're telling me we calculated how to send a satellite to a small planet that's smaller than a country on our planet with accuracy? Edit: thanks for all the karma! level 2 At several billion kilometers after a 9-years flight using the gravity of jupiter to assist the trip using small corrections. Shit's crazy yoh level 2 Yes. Crazy what you can do with math and money. level 2 Amazing what we can do with science considering only a few hundred years ago we we still figuring out how to travel to a specific country by boat. level 2 We’ve sent probes to asteroids level 2 They also did the same with Ceres, which is much smaller (less than half the diameter) than Pluto. level 2 Yes but we also sent this same satellite to Ultima Thule which is half the length of Rhode Island. level 2 edit: disregard, I was wrong What country is Pluto bigger than?As a result, Pluto's surface area is slightly larger than Russia's surface area of 17,098,246 km2 (6,601,670 sq mi). However, Russia fits the surface area of Pluto, emphasizing the fact that Russia is the massive giant on the planet Earth.
What is Pluto smaller than?Pluto is smaller than Earth's moon. This dwarf planet takes 248 Earth years to go around the sun.
Is Pluto bigger than Asia?So while Pluto may be 10X bigger than Alaska, it actually has slightly less surface area than Russia, which in turn has about half the area of Earth's moon, but yet the Moon still has less surface area than Asia. All that's to say that Pluto is actually pretty big, just not as big as some other really big places.
What is Pluto the same size as?With a radius of 715 miles (1,151 kilometers), Pluto is about 1/6 the width of Earth. If Earth was the size of a nickel, Pluto would be about as big as a popcorn kernel. From an average distance of 3.7 billion miles (5.9 billion kilometers), Pluto is 39 astronomical units away from the Sun.
