Best Answer

Given that the surface of Pluto is at a temperature of -233oC, most of the gases there would be frozen into solids. Current theories suggest an extremely thin atmosphere of gaseous nitrogen, formed when Pluto is nearest the Sun and some of the frozen nitrogen sublimes from the surface.
