Kuiper Belt Objects are presumably too small to have enough gravity to hold atmospheres. That which might have been their atmospheres, i.e., methane, carbon dioxide, might encrust their surfaces as ice.

In what way is Pluto similar to other kuiper belt objects?

Pluto shares several characteristics with other Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs), including its icy composition and its orbit beyond Neptune. Like many KBOs, it is composed primarily of ice and rock, and it exhibits a similar range of sizes and shapes. Additionally, Pluto has a tilted and elliptical orbit, which is also common among KBOs. These similarities highlight its classification as a KBO, despite its former status as the ninth planet in our solar system.
