Планета Плутон была открыта в 1930-м году молодым лаборантом обсерватории Клайдом Томбо (Tombaugh) после года наблюдений. Эта планета еле-еле видна и настолько далеко отстоит от Земли (расстояние от Солнца до Плутона равно 3,7 миллиардам миль, а период обращения равен 248 годам), что на протяжении почти пятидесяти лет астрономы так и не смогли ее заметить, поскольку в те времена еще не было телескопов необходимой мощности. Discovered in 1930 after a nearly year-long telescopic search by a young observatory assistant named Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto is so faint and so distant — its 248-year orbit averages 3.7 billion miles from the sun — that almost half a century elapsed before astronomers had the technology to study it.

What is translation in context on PROMT.One

The “Contexts” section on PROMT.One is your translation-in-context tool that helps you find real examples of how words and phrases are used. Just enter a word and the service will show its translation in context — sentences from bilingual sources where this word is used together with its translation into the target language. This helps you understand subtle shades of meaning and correct usage in speech, whether it is a rare term or a common everyday phrase.

Millions of usage examples from real texts

Millions of translation examples are collected automatically from already translated texts: documents, websites, books, movie dialogues and more. Thanks to this, you can see a word in different situations — from formal business style to everyday colloquial speech. For convenience, the results can be filtered by a specific translation or topic, and you can also search within the examples found to quickly focus on the context you need.

How translation in context helps you learn a language

By using the “Contexts” section, you can effectively expand your vocabulary. The service clearly shows how idioms, phrasal verbs and polysemantic words are translated in different contexts. This makes language learning easier: you remember new words together with their real usage and immediately see correct translations in authentic, living language.
