Probably silicates and water ice. Its highly-reflective surface of methane ice initially suggested a much larger planet. But at 1/455th of the mass of Earth and 1/150th the volume, Pluto should not possess a large core of heavier elements.
The core of Pluto is solid and rocky. The surface of Pluto is covered by a mantle of water ice and frozen methane. The atmosphere of Pluto is composed of Nitrogen, Methane and Carbon Monoxide.
About 60% rock and 40% nitrogen ice. The ice is structured as a sheet above the rock, so the surface is completely ice. Also Pluto is not a planet
the dork that wrote the answer before me is so wrong Pluto is so a planet and it will always be oneBecause the orbit of Pluto is so strange, Pluto is sometimes close enough to the sun for the ices on its surface to sublimate. Sublimation describes what happens when a frozen material changes to gaseous form. (Evaporation describes what happens when a liquid changes to gaseous form). The most common example of sublimation is that of dry ice, which is the common name of frozen CO2. When dry ice is exposed to the air it begins to sublimate, or change to vapor, before your very eyes. This happens to dry ice because at room temperature the frozen gas would rather be a gas than frozen solid. When Pluto comes close enough to the sun, the surface of solid Nitrogen sublimates to produce a substantial atmosphere with winds and clouds. Because the planet is so small, however, it does not have enough gravity to bind an atmosphere for very long. Thus Pluto's atmosphere is being rapidly produced and rapidly lost at the same time. This means that the atmosphere is not in equilibrium. By 1999, Pluto will leave the neighborhood of Neptune and drift further away from the sun in its orbit. As it gets further from the sun it will no longer produce an atmosphere. Thus it will soon be too late for humankind to study Pluto's unique environment.
Pluto, the smallest planet in the Solar System, is named for the Roman God of the Underworld.
Characteristics:
Probably ice or frozen rock because pluto is so far from the Sun and the Sun's heat.

Pluto has no atmosphere
ice
Plutoes atmosphere is unrecognized yet. No one has been to Pluto yet, so nobody knows. Thank you for asking though!! Honered to answer!!
Pluto's atmosphere is mostly ice it gets so cold even its air freezes. temp is -240 in summer -260 in its winter.
it is mostly made up of water ice and the center is believed to be metalic
Pluto has a relatively thin atmosphere. It is comprised primarily of nitrogen. Pluto was the ninth planet in the Solar System until it was demoted in 2006 to a dwarf planet.
Pluto's surface pressure is said to be 6.5-24 ubar. The atmosphere tends to freeze and fall away from the Sun's direction.
Plutos temp is -223 c to 40 c
plutos core kills us from coldness
Yes. Charon, Plutos largest moon, is about 1200km in diameter, while Plutos diameter is around 2322km, so Plutos diameter is about twice the size. In terms of volume though, Pluto is around 7.4 times as big.

While the nitrogen's wouldn't be a huge problem, the methane and carbon monoxide would. Likely as not, however, you would freeze first, and essentially immediately.
