Pluto: A Dwarf Planet Overview

Pluto has four moons, with Charon being the largest. It also has two smaller moons called Hydra and Nix. In 2011, a new moon was discovered orbiting Pluto temporarily called P4. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 instead of a planet since it is smaller than Earth's moon. Pluto is extremely cold at -223 degrees Celsius and too far from the sun to support human habitation.

Pluto has four moons.

The
biggest is Charon. Its other
planets are called Hydra and
Nix. In 2011 a new moon was
discovered around Pluto and
is currently called P4. Pluto
was considered a planet but
it's only two thirds of earths
moon. In 2006, scientist
officially considered Pluto a
dwarf planet. If you thought
that humans can live on
Pluto, then think again. Pluto
is not a habitable planet
because Pluto is 7.5 billion
kilometers away from earth
and is extremely cold,
reaching a temperature of
-223 degrees Celsius, not to
mention a day on Pluto is 6.4
earth days.

Pluto
If you think that Pluto is a average planet, then
think again. On Earth, if you weighed 32kg, you'd
be 2.5kg on Pluto, now that's what I call losing
weight in a easy way. That's not the only odd
thing about Pluto. Pluto may be far away from
the solar system, but it still orbits the sun.
Everyone knows that all the planets in the solar
system orbit in a circular orbit, but Pluto orbits in
a oval orbit which causes it to often be closer to
the sun then Neptune is. Our planets turns in a
flat way. In Pluto, it tilts in all kinds of angles and
sides which also causes it to orbit below and
above other planets orbits.
