Yes.

It has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide that is thought to be a runaway greenhouse effect. Its average surface pressure due to the thick atmosphere is 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earth's. It is also the hottest planet, with surface temperatures averaging around 460°C (860°F).
Yes it does, so hot that it has boiled its oceans dry.

∙ 6y agoNo. Pluto has no atmosphere, except a thin temporary atmosphere during its "summer" years. You are thinking of Venus, which is currently the only planet in our solar system with a runaway greenhouse effect. Hopefully the Earth won't follow.

How does Pluto effect people?
Just like all other objects in the universe, Pluto has no physical effect on people whatsoever.
How does the effect of the sun's gravity on Pluto compare with the effect of the sun's gravity on earth?
using f = (G*m1*m2) / d^2 for sun / earth = 3.524 * 10^24 newtons for sun / pluto = 4.958 * 10^16 newtons sun / earth is 710600 times that of sun / pluto
What is the orbital shape of Pluto?
The orbital shape of Pluto is an ellipse, a conic section, although it is not perfectly precise because of the effect of gravity from other objects besides itself and the Sun.
How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
What is the surface temperature of Pluto during day?
The dwarf planet Pluto is very far from the sun, and as a result, it is always cold. . Pluto is too far from the sun to get any significant warmth from it. From Pluto, the sun appears to be just another star. It is therefore always night on Pluto, at least by the standard that we would normally apply on Earth. The temperature on Pluto varies from a low of -400 degrees Fahrenheit to a high of -360 degrees Fahrenheit. Actually, Pluto is so far from the sun that it absorbs little energy.
How does Pluto's atmosphere effect the temperature of Pluto?
Pluto's atmosphere consists of a very thin surface of methane, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide, made from the ice on its surface. As Pluto moves away from the Sun, its atmosphere gradually freezes and falls to the ground. As it gets closer to the Sun, the temperature of Pluto's surface increases, causing the ice to turn into gas. This creates an "anti greenhouse" effect cooling the surface of Pluto.

The planet Pluto has what unique physical feature?
that it's a meteor
Does sun effect Pluto?
yes
What would your age be if you were on Pluto?
Where you are has no effect on your age. If you were on Pluto you would be the same age as if you had stayed on earth.
Does Pluto have air pressure?
A vacuum has air pressure, but I assume you mean atmosphere. Pluto's atmosphere consists of a thin envelope of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide, derived from the ices on its surface.[46] As Pluto moves away from the Sun, its atmosphere gradually freezes and falls to the ground. As it edges closer to the Sun, the temperature of Pluto's solid surface increases, causing the ices to sublimate into gas. This creates an anti-greenhouse effect; much like sweat cools the body as it evaporates from the surface of the skin, this sublimation has a cooling effect on the surface of Pluto. Scientists have recently discovered,[47] by use of the Submillimeter Array, that Pluto's temperature is 43 kelvins, 10 K colder than expected. the atmospheric pressure was determined to be 0.15 pascal, roughly 1/700,000 that of Earth.

Does how many moons effect how Pluto is not a planet?
7,566 moons
What are Pluto's notable feature?
Polar ice caps. Also it's bright and dark spots.
What planet has a harsh landscape?
All planets except Earth have conditions extremely unsuitable for life. Venus is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit because it has an extreme greenhouse effect. Mercury and Pluto have no atmosphere. Mars has a thin atmosphere and is too cold (although it could possibly be terraformed).
What actors and actresses appeared in Runaway Brain - 1995?
The cast of Runaway Brain - 1995 includes: Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse Jim Cummings as Julius Bill Farmer as Pluto Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Frankenollie Russi Taylor as Minnie Mouse

Is Pluto bigger than its moons?
Yes it is. However, its largest moon, Charon, is so large that one can almost think of Pluto and Charon as being a double minor planet system as Charon does not orbit Pluto as much as Pluto and Charon both orbiting a common point near Pluto, because of the effect of both Pluto's gravity on Charon as well as Charon's gravitational pull on Pluto.
