Probably not. While it's not known for certain, if there is any trace of hydrogen on Pluto, it would be in solid form. Pluto probably consists of a mixture of 70 percent rock and 30 percent water ice. Internal structure: The dwarf planet probably has a rocky core surrounded by a mantle of water ice, with more exotic ices such as methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen ice coating the surface.

Pluto consists of roughly 50-70 percent rock and 30-50 percent ice by mass.

So apart from a small amount of hydrocarbon haze, there is little hydrogen on Pluto.

No. Pluto is very cold, but not cold enough for hydrogen to freeze.
