because the sun is far away from Pluto the planets suface would be ice i hope that helped you.

Life exists on other planets?
yes Maybe, but we haven't found any yet.
Where are ExtraSolar planets found?
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
Which meteroid reaches Earth's surface without buring up completely?
Any surviving meteroid piece found on a planets suface becomes a meteorite.
Where are the gas planets and where are they located?
The gas planets, in our solar system at least, are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, in order from least to greatest distance from the Sun. They are all found beyond the Asteroid Belt. The gas planets, or "Gas Giants" if you will, are larger and less dense than the other planets. They all have rings and several moons.
How much exo-planets has been found?
There is 8 planets in our solar system now, becuase scientists no longer classify Pluto as a planet. There where about 400 planets found so making it about 399 so about 391 exo-planets have been found. Hope that answers your question!
How does the mass of a planet relate to its distance from the sun?
There is no necessary connection between mass and distance. The mass of a planet does not affect its orbital speed, for example. However the "giant planets" are further from the Sun than the less massive "terrestrial planets". The outer (more massive planets) contain a lot of gases. So, they would surely lose a lot of their mass if they were nearer the Sun. (In fact, we have found planets called "hot Jupiters" orbiting other stars. These are Jupiter type planets, but they orbit very close to their star.)
Does a planet's distance from the sun relate to the time it takes to revolve around the sun?
Yes, its all to do with Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which describes the relationship between the orbital period of the plant and the distance of that planet from the sun. Kepler found that the square of the period, P, is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis, a (P2 = ka3). The planets orbit the sun in an ellispse, the semi major axis is the `longest radius` within this ellipse. Kepler found that a constant `k` was needed in the equation - this was later found to relate to the mass of the objects. The planets mass is usually a lot less than the star its orbiting, so can often be dropped from the equation.

What have they found on the planets?
the found different rock on the planets
Where can a meteors be found?
Meteors can only be found within the atmospheres of planets. If they are on the outside the atmosphere they are called Meteroids. And if they have already penetrated the surface of a planet they are called Meteorites.
Where are ExtraSolar planets found?
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.

What planets can be found in the solar system?
inner planets and gas giants
Your solar system is found between the planets?
Our solar system is the planets
What is found between the inner planets in the outer planets?
An asteroid belt.
Where can moons be found?
They are found in Space close to there planets
