Is Pluto made out of ice?

Answer 1

Pluto does have some evidence of Ice yes but it's mostly rock I'm afraid with 70 percent of the 'dwarf' planet and 30 percent is Water in Ice form so technically yes and no because it's so cold between about -235 and -210 C according to research the Ice remains there, but in the brighter areas of the planet it contains nitrogen in frozen form. If you compare Pluto to Triton that's what Pluto is like. But for further info, follw the hyperlink - http://www.nineplanets.org/pluto.html

Answer 2

Pluto's surface is about 98% nitrogen ice, with methane and carbon dioxide ice making up the other 2%. Pluto's mantle is thought to be made up of water ice while its core is thought to be rock.

Answer 3

Pluto is composed of a mix of rock and ice, with water ice being one of the main components. Its surface is primarily covered with nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide ices, giving it a distinct icy appearance.

Answer 4

Pluto has a dense rock core, surrounded by a thick layer of ice (possibly a layer of liquid water near the core), with a frozen nitrogen surface.

Answer 5

Pluto is mostly frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) and frozen water, with other material mixed in. Very much like the composition of most comets.

Answer 6

i think Pluto is ice because it is farther from the sun

Answer 7

No, its really cold and icy but its not a ice giant because there are planets that have more ice and are bigger

Answer 8

No, techinacally its a ball of ice

Answer 9

yes
