90,580.0653 earth days

First you must break it down the same units of measure, because Pluto rotates around the sun every 248 (earth) years, and rotates on it's axis every 6.387 (earth) days. what we're going to do is put everything down to days. 248 (earth) years is about 90580.0653 (earth) days and since we already have Pluto's day at 6.387 (earth) days it just simple division if you want to know the amount of (Pluto) days in a (Pluto) year. 90580.0653/6.387 and you get your answer.

There are roughly 14,181.9423 (Pluto) days in a (Pluto) year. Hope it helps

there are 90,472 days in a year on pluto

Pluto???????

Pluto was once called a planet because it was a solid body, thought to be bigger than Mercury, orbiting the sun. Recent decades brought the discovery that it was smaller than Mercury, but it kept its designation as a planet.

In the last few years, a number of bodies, some slightly smaller and some larger than Pluto, have been found not much further from the sun, in similar orbits (inclined, and possible coming inside Neptune's orbit). There is reason to believe that there may be hundreds of them.

If Pluto was to be considered a planet, then the new discoveries would have to be also. This would mean that there could be several hundred "planets".

Men with beards decided that this was too untidy, so they changed the definition of the word "planet" to exclude Pluto and others like it. Thus, we have 8 planets.

It's not the first time it happened. After its discovery, the asteroid Ceres was considered a planet, until more of the same type were found. The 19th Century folks weren't so insecure in their daily lives that they had to form a "Save Ceres Club" or anything like that. And people on this forum say how sophisticated we are these days . . .

It's an arbitrary definition set by people. Pluto is the same as it always was, it's where it's always been, and its feelings aren't hurt by what we call it.

Will Pluto be a planet again some day?

Yeah, well...they pick on Pluto now, but in 10 years Pluto will be their boss and they'll have to kiss some butt to keep their jobs....

Actually, it's not impossible for Pluto to regain planetary status some few billion years from now. Perhaps when the Sun expands into a red giant, swallows up the inner planets and disturbs some orbits of the outer planets and the Kuiper belt, Pluto could undergo some type of bombardment, gain a little mass and clear out an orbital path that just might qualify it as a planet again... you never know... But of course, by then we might not be around to do any classification anyway.

Aside from some big astronomical change along those lines, I don't see Pluto regaining planetary status again based on any scientific discoveries or definition reforms.
