Pluto has no light, and thus never "got it". It does however radiate photons in a very low frequency (not visible) in accordance to the theory of black body radiation. If you meant, "why can we see Pluto in the visible light spectrum?" then the answers is simply that the light was reflected from the sun.

∙ 15y agoAt a minimum distance from the Sun of 4.4 billion kilometers, Pluto does not receive any appreciable light or heat from the Sun, and only a highly-reflective surface allows its visibility from Earth. The name "Pluto" is a variant of the Greek god Hades, said to dwell underground in darkness and cold.

Can plants photosynthesise on Pluto?
No. There has to be sunlight, water, and CO2 for plants to begin the process of photosynthesis. There is almost no sunlight on Pluto, and no air whatsoever.
How long would it take to get to pluto from the sun?
Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric. When Pluto is at its minimum distance form the Sun, sunlight takes about 14800 seconds to reach it (just over 4 hours). At its maximum, the light takes about 24600 seconds (nearly 7 hours).
How lon gdoes it take ffpr sunlight to get from the sun to Pluto?

Would constellation look the same in Pluto?
No. Pluto is a dwarf planet, not a star, and is not visible to the naked eye.
Is Pluto a cold or hot planet?
Pluto is extremely cold, due to being so far from the Sun. It receives less than 1% of the sunlight energy that reaches Jupiter, which is itself a fraction of what Earth receives.
Why is it cold on Pluto?
It is cold on Pluto because Pluto has almost no atmosphere and very little sunlight.

Does Pluto reflect sunlight?
Yes. Otherwise we would never have been able to see it though our telescopes.
Is Pluto black?
Look at some picture of Pluto. It doesn't look black to me, but if you were to go there personally, it might look black due to the low level of sunlight it receives.
Are there chanes that life exists orexisted at one time on Pluto?
Because of pluto's severe lack of sunlight, oxygen and heat, none of the life that we know could have possibly existed on pluto. Is it possible another form of life existed on Pluto? Sure its possible. Scientist havent found traces of life.
Does Pluto the planet get little sun light?
Yes it does get sunlight but only a very very very small amount - a lot less than we have on earth so Pluto will be a very cold place.
Can Pluto have living people on the planet?
no because it is so far in the sun the temperature there is negative because there is no sunlight. it is impossible to live..
Would constellation look the same in Pluto?
No. Pluto is a dwarf planet, not a star, and is not visible to the naked eye.
Why are Uranus Neptune and Pluto the coldest planets?
Because they are the furthest planets away from the sun, so they receive less sunlight for warmth.
