Yes, because even though it isn't large enough, it still has enough gravity to pull it self into a spherical shape.
Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth. In fact, Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth's moon.
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
The "surface" gravity of Jupiter is about 40 times that of Pluto.
Pluto may be considered small in planet terms, but its still a pretty big rock, and its moon is small enough so that they can have a mutual gravitational attraction, and the moon can be in a stable orbit. Pluto can have gravity on it, anything that's bigger than something else has gravity on it, even an elephant has gravity over a mouse, its just too small of an amount to do anything
Pluto's gravity is about 6% that of the Earth. A person weighing 100 lbs on the Earth would weigh 6 lbs on Pluto.
Pluto is round. It is massive enough to have been rounded by it own gravity.
No. The gravity of Pluto is only about 6.3% of the gravity on Earth, less than half of the gravity on the moon. This is because Pluto is about 500 times less massive than Earth.
no
No. Pluto is nowhere near massive enough to become a black hole.
Any object in space with enough gravity to keep a moon in orbit can have moons. Pluto is one of those objects.
Mercury is the least massive of all the planets. The least massive planet is Mercury (0.055 Earths). However, the planet with the weakest gravity is Mars. I am of course not treating Pluto as a Planet (as it is no longer categorized as a planet), if I were to count Pluto then it would be the least massive ( 0.0021 Earths).
Earth's gravity is 16 times the gravity of Pluto.
