Have you ever wondered what would happen if humans were standing on Pluto?Pluto's year is equivalent to 248 Earth years, and its day lasts 153 hours. Does this mean that one second of human beings on Pluto is equivalent to months or even years on Earth?Does this mean that human beings will grow old and even die in the blink of an eye on Pluto?
At the very edge of the solar system, there is a mysterious asteroid called Pluto. The name is derived from the god of the underworld in ancient Roman mythology, giving it a mysterious and cold feeling.
Pluto's orbit is very peculiar in shape, a bit like an ellipse, and sometimes it even runs farther than Neptune. Imagine that it would take a full 248 Earth years to orbit the sun!Pluto's own day is only equivalent to 6 days and 9 hours on our earth, and it feels like time passes there more leisurely.
Although Pluto is the farthest asteroid in the solar system, it is only one-sixth the size of Earth and two-thousandths the mass of Earth. The asteroid's surface is made of ice and rock, and the temperature is extremely low, averaging minus 375 degrees Celsius. It's colder than a freezer!
Pluto also has a thin atmosphere that contains nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. This atmosphere is amazing because it changes with Pluto's distance from the Sun. Sometimes the gas freezes on the surface, and sometimes it evaporates into the air.
Pluto is not a lonely planet, it has five companions, like a small group. The largest of these partners is called Charon, which is more than half the diameter of Pluto, and the center of gravity space between the two is in between, so some people think they are like a binary star system. The distance between the two is super close, only 1For 90,000 kilometers, the two of them revolve around each other, always facing each other, like lovers who will never be separated.
In addition to Phos, there are four little friends, and they are Paradons, three, four, five. These friends are all oddly shaped, probably fragments from the collision of Pluto and Glos. Like the little mischievous, they are also circling Pluto and Pluto, adding some mystery to the entire Pluto system.
In 1930, Clyde Tombaugh of the United States was conducting research at the Lowell Observatory when he used a device called a scintillation comparator to compare two pictures of the sky**, and he accidentally discovered a small moving dot.
Excited by the discovery, Tombau named the spot Pluto, both in Western legend and in honor of the observatory's founder, Percival Lowell. The sign of Pluto is also a monogram consisting of pl.
Originally, Pluto was considered the ninth planet in the solar system. But in 2006, the International Astronomical Union introduced a new definition of planets. Pluto has become a dwarf planet under this new rule because of its own poor quality. This decision has sparked a lot of controversy, with some arguing that Pluto should still be called a planet, while others believe that it is just an ordinary member of the Kuiper Belt. The controversy is still ongoing, giving people more different opinions about Pluto's identity.
Although Pluto has been removed from the ranks of the stars, its charm remains undiminished. In 2015, NASA's New Horizons probe completed an epic flyby that explored Pluto up close and high-definition**, revealing many of the asteroid's stunning features.
Pluto's surface is full of diverse landscapes, including mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, rifts, plains, and more. The most striking is a giant heart-shaped spot, known as the "Heart of Pluto", which seems to be the iconic symbol of the asteroid.
What's even more amazing is that Pluto's atmosphere presents a multi-layered structure, showing different colors such as blue, red, and white, giving people a gorgeous and colorful visual experience.
Interestingly, scientists speculate that Pluto may have an ocean of liquid water inside it, suggesting that it may have some kind of internal heat source, which may be one of the reasons for the diverse landforms on Pluto's surface. These discoveries have made people more curious and eager to explore the inside and outside of this asteroid.
Pluto is a distant and magical little celestial body, and its concept of time is indeed different from that of Earth. However, if we are standing on Pluto, we do not have to worry about the end of life due to the difference in time.
Why?This is because Pluto's year and day are only the time it orbits the sun and its rotation, and do not affect the growth and aging of the human body. How long we live depends on a variety of factors, but it doesn't change depending on the time calendar. A second on Pluto is still equivalent to a second on Earth, except that both day and night and the seasons change much longer than time on Earth.
Therefore, humans standing on Pluto do not end their lives because of the difference in time. Pluto's time difference is just an interesting astronomical phenomenon that doesn't affect our lifespan. In this distant world, people may experience longer days and nights, longer seasons, but lifespan is still affected by other factors than Pluto's time trajectory.
We can illustrate this with a simple example. Suppose there is a person, who was born on Earth, sleeps 8 hours a day, and spends 365 days a year. His lifespan was 80 years, which means that he lived a total of 29,200 days, or 233,600 hours.
Now, suppose the person went to Pluto when he was 20 years old, and then lived there until he was 80 years old. He is on Pluto and sleeps 8 hours a day, but he has only 04 days, that is, he spent a total of 240 days, or 1920 hours. So, did he only live for 10 years on Pluto?
Of course not. He was on Pluto and still lived for 60 years. His lifespan did not change due to the change of the year and day of Pluto, except that his calendar and clock were displayed differently.
On Pluto, he sees the sun rise and set every day different times than on Earth, but his circadian rhythm and psychological feelings are not fundamentally different from those on Earth.
He is on Pluto, and the number of seasons he passes each year is not the same as on Earth, but his physical and mental changes are not fundamentally different from those on Earth.
So, we can draw a conclusion: standing on Pluto for a second does not die, does not grow old, and does not turn into something strange. Standing on Pluto for a second is standing on Earth for a second, but a second on Pluto seems longer, more mysterious, and more interesting.
