When The Orbit ends.

The orbit will end in 2178 that's a long time. If  humans are still alive after global warming  they must remember this in 2178. Technically it`s done 50 times which = 12,400 years. People will have to celebrate!

New Moon???

Scientists found a new moon around Pluto. Three moons where already known and they are Charon, Nix and Hydra. They found it with the Hubble space telescope. The scientists might call this new one Cerberus so that's "cool"!

How It Was Formed

When it all started out it was all one big dust cloud. The dust bashed in to each other and then as the dust balls got bigger, they gained there own gravity to make the sun. When the sun was 10 times bigger then now. Some of the dust collected into a rock and a another rock hit it. More rocks kept collecting and it turned into Pluto as it spun around the baby Sun.

Is Pluto a Planet???

Yes because there is probably about 800 planets in our solar system. Why, because I said so and I think that it should be. So yes it is a planet.

The Pluto ALIEN!!!

This is a green alien that lives on pluto and he has his own personality. His name is Pluto man.  He can make houses out of ice and he is cool. Pluto man asks "Can you please make Pluto a planet again?"

what`s it like on pluto

Pluto is an icy world in deep space. Do you ever wonder what's it like on Pluto? If you did you would have to bundle up because it`s -384F to -365F so don`t touch stuff with your tongue. You can have an ice cold drink literally. If you weighed 450 on Earth you would only weigh 25.6 on Pluto.

How Far Away is Pluto

How

My family and i made a video to show how far away Pluto is from the Sun. We used my moms head as the Sun. The scale is if the Sun was about 8 inches across. I hope you like it!

Why is it the 9th planet?

Because when the sun formed there where meteors going any way you can think of. Some of those meteors found a gravity spot and collected together. It could have been billions of miles from where it is now. When the Sun was done Pluto and Charon where done too and it ended up in the outer ring of our solar system.

Why is it a Dwarf Planet?

Pluto was made a dwarf planet in 2006. Pluto is not getting enough meteors to make it bigger. So it will not be a planet. If Pluto gets a little bigger it will be a planet again. Pluto shall be a planet to me no mater what size it is.

What is pluto?

Pluto is the coldest planet from the sun. Pluto is a rocky but mostly icey planet. It is the smallest planet in the SOLAR SYSTEM and 50 Plutos can go in Earth. Pluto has ice that is hard as rock .                                                                                                                                 

When it was found.

Pluto was found in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh. He was looking for it for a year. Pluto is the 2nd non dwarf planet form the sun. The 1st non dwarf planet found was Ceres in 1801.

What Pluto does!

It takes Pluto 248 years to go around the sun. Pluto takes 6 days to spin around on its axis. Pluto takes 144 hours to spin on its axis. Pluto takes 8,640 min. to spin on its axis or 518,400 sec. or 51,840,000 mil sec. or 51,840,000,000,000 nano sec. to spin on its axis. In other words a really long time. It will take Pluto 167 more years to spin on its axis. Pluto is closer to the sun than Neptune for 20 years.

What is Pluto Made Of?

Pluto is made of ice and rock because it stays -365 F deg. below 0. Pluto is made of the leftovers of when the Sun was formed. Under the surface of Pluto is water. Because the core is hot it does not freeze. If Pluto got -94.F degrees more the atoms would stop moving.

Here is some stuff I found about what Pluto is made of. From a cool site my dad found.

Pluto's composition is unknown, but its density (about 2 gm/cm3) indicates that it is probably a mixture of 70% rock and 30% water ice much like Triton. The bright areas of the surface seem to be covered with ices of nitrogen with smaller amounts of (solid) methane, ethane and carbon monoxide. The composition of the darker areas of Pluto's surface is unknown but may be due to primordial organic material or photochemical reactions driven by cosmic rays.

Little is known about Pluto's atmosphere, but it probably consists primarily of nitrogen with some carbon monoxide and methane. It is extremely tenuous, the surface pressure being only a few microbars. Pluto's atmosphere may exist as a gas only when Pluto is near its perihelion; for the majority of Pluto's long year, the atmospheric gases are frozen into ice. Near perihelion, it is likely that some of the atmosphere escapes to space perhaps even interacting with Charon. NASA mission planners want to arrive at Pluto while the atmosphere is still unfrozen.
