• The man who discovered Pluto was an astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, who founded the planet on February 13, 1930.

• Pluto is god of the underworld.• It’s the coldest planet.

Pluto

• Pluto is the ninth planet in the solar system.

• The order is the planets goes, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and last is Pluto.

• Basically Pluto isn’t considered a planet anymore because it’s so small.

Life on Pluto…• There is no way anything could survive on Pluto

even if there was life. Its too cold and barley any sun reaches it.

• But apparently, our sun will expand, increasing the energy it gives off. It would expand, thus consuming every inner planet, including earth…

• There is absolutely no life on Pluto. Everything would freeze making it a solid… including gases like methane.

• Life on Pluto you would not be able to survive, the coldness of the planet and non oxygen would kill you.

• The planet is dark, and gray, not much to it.

• Pluto is 5,906,376,272 km away from the sun.

• Pluto is 3,670,052,070 miles away from the sun

• Pluto’s density 1,750 kg/m^3• Pluto, is 2,390km in diameter. • Pluto’s temperature in the day is -142 • Pluto’s temperature in the night is 221

• Pluto has three moons• Pluto's atmosphere, its most likely

primarily of nitrogen with alitte bit of carbon monoxide and methane. Its extremely tenuous, the surface pressure being only a few microbars.

Pluto: dwarf planet

• Pluto is a dwarf planet• The term dwarf planet was adopted

in 2006, as part of three-way categorization of bodies orbiting the sun.

• There are currently five official dwarf planets. Pluto, the smallest of the nine most popular planets, is considered a dwarf planet, for its size.

• The Atmosphere on the Pluto is very cold. When Pluto is away from the sun the atmosphere get frozen and when close the temperature gets increased and frozen methane, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide melts away.

• The surface temperature of the planet is very cold between –235 and –210 degree C.

• The orbit of the Pluto is very different from any other planet in the solar system. It is far from the circular of other planets. Sometimes it also gets closer to the sun than the Neptune. This happens after every 288 years.

• The rotational period of Pluto is 6.5 days and orbital period very eccentric i.e. 90,613 days.

• Pluto’s orbit is inside of Neptune's orbit, making Pluto closer to the Sun than Neptune at times. Its orbit does not lie flat in the same plane as the other planets. Pluto's orbit is tilted so it orbits above and below the other planets' orbits in the Solar System.

• Did you know that Pluto hasn’t cleared out its orbit?

All thought Pluto orbits the sun and is round, its not a planet.

• Also, if you add up the mass of all the other orbits in Pluto’s orbit, Pluto’s mass would only be a tiny fraction of that total.

Pluto’s moons

• Pluto is named after a god, not a dog. Its actually named after the Roman God of the underworld. And Charon is the ferryman who carries souls across the river Styx.

• Charon, Nix, and Hydra are Pluto's three moons. Out of the three moons Charon is the closest to Pluto. Charon was discovered in 1978, and Nix and Hydra were discovered in 2005. Charon is biggest and other two small.

• James W. Christy discovered Charon. Both Caron and Pluto are tidally locked to each other. They are always faced to each other.
