All bodies that have a mass have gravity - Charon especially.
There are a pair of gravitational forces between every two masses in the universe.
The whole thing is so cool when you think about it: There is a pair of attractive
forces between the lint in your pocket and a grain of sand on the farthest beach on
the other side of the farthest planet in orbit around the farthest star in the farthest
galaxy on the other side of the universe.

∙ 11y agoyes it does, it is most like earths, but the surface pressure is less.

What is the goal of New Horizons?
Primary objectives (required) Characterize the global geology and morphology of Pluto and Charon Map chemical compositions of Pluto and Charon surfaces Characterize the neutral (non-ionized) atmosphere of Pluto and its escape rate (Loss of any of these objectives will constitute a failure of the mission.) Secondary objectives (expected) Characterize the time variability of Pluto's surface and atmosphere Image select Pluto and Charon areas in stereo Map the terminators (day/night border) of Pluto and Charon with high resolution Map the chemical compositions of select Pluto and Charon areas with high resolution Characterize Pluto's ionosphere, and its interaction with the solar wind Search for neutral species such as H2, hydrocarbons, HCN and other nitriles in the atmosphere Search for any Charon atmosphere Determine bolometric bond albedos for Pluto and Charon Map surface temperatures of Pluto and Charon (It is expected, but not demanded, that most of these objectives will be met.) Tertiary objectives (desired) Characterize the energetic particle environment at Pluto and Charon Refine bulk parameters (radii, masses) and orbits of Pluto and Charon Search for additional moons, and any rings

When was Dioptis charon created?
Dioptis charon was created in 1893.
What is the symbol of Charon the dwarf planet?
Because Charon is not a god it does not have a symbol
Why does one side of pluto always face charon?
Pluto is tidally locked to Charon. When the Pluto-Charon system first formed Pluto's rotation was probably faster, but was slowed by the effects of Charon's gravity.
What is the atmosphere made up of Charon?
Charon now known as a planet is made of water and ice not nitrogen ice like others

When the probe gets to Pluto what will it be looking for?
From the New Horizons mission guide: Science Priorities Based largely on what the scientific community wanted to learn about Pluto and Charon, NASA prioritized its science goals for Pluto-system exploration in three categories: Required • Characterize the global geology and morphology of Pluto and Charon • Map surface composition of Pluto and Charon • Characterize the neutral atmosphere of Pluto and its escape rate Important • Characterize the time variability of Pluto's surface and atmosphere • Image Pluto and Charon in stereo • Map the terminators (day/night lines) of Pluto and Charon in high resolution • Map the composition of selected areas of Pluto and Charon at high resolution • Characterize Pluto's ionosphere and solar wind interaction • Search for neutral species (including hydrocarbons and nitriles) in Pluto's upper atmosphere • Search for an atmosphere around Charon • Determine bolometric bond albedos for Pluto and Charon • Map the surface temperatures on Pluto and Charon Desired • Characterize the energetic particle environment of Pluto and Charon • Refine bulk parameters (radii, masses, densities) and orbits of Pluto and Charon • Search for magnetic fields of Pluto and Charon • Search for additional satellites and rings NASA defines mission success as meeting the "required" objectives. With its full science payload -- three optical instruments, two plasma instruments, a radio science receiver/radiometer and a dust sensor - New Horizons expects to exceed these requirements, meeting or addressing all of the objectives in each category.
