Not unless you bring your own Earth-like habitat, including energy, food, and air.

Pluto is at a temperature just above absolute zero (around -230° C). The atmosphere itself is frozen solid almost all of the time. Unlike the space around Earth, the region near Pluto does not get enough energy from the Sun, so you would need to bring your own energy, your own air, and your own food. The one necessity present is water (ice), but it exists in very hard frozen states.

Pluto isn't suitable for life for two main reasons. The first is that there is no breathable air on Pluto. Pluto's atmosphere is very thin and consists of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide - not a breathable mix. Also, the atmospheric pressure is extremely low: 0.00000143% the pressure of Earth's atmosphere. When Pluto heads out to aphelion (the farthest point in its orbit from the Sun), the atmosphere freezes; when it's closer, those gases sublimate from the surface and form the very thin atmosphere. These conditions would require a spacesuit or a habitat of some sort. The second reason is the temperature. With its great distance from the Sun, the surface temperature varies between -400 and -360 degrees Fahrenheit. This is much too cold for any known life form to exist. Again, this would require a spacesuit or a habitat. Even if we had the technology for a pressurized, warm habitat full of breathable air, the distance to Pluto makes such a project very infeasible. Other objects in the solar system are closer and provide more resources; the planet Mars and the natural satellite Titan are two examples and that is all folks

Do humans live on other planets?

No one can answer this question as we do not have any proof of whether they do or don't. Some believe that there are planets out there that are the right distance from the sun have the same size sun and planet as ours and have similar atmospheric conditions. If there are such planets, it is possible that a human or human-like species could live and thrive there.


What planets would be the easiest to live on?

Of the planets of our solar system, only Earth itself is easy to live on. None of the other planets are habitable without a protective sealed habitat. Of the other planets, Mars may be easiest; we'll need to build the sealed habitat, and convert some of the iron oxide in the soil to oxygen that we can breathe, but it won't be INCREDIBLY cold, or have poisonous atmosphere, or crushing pressure. And after we've figured out how to live on the Moon, Mars will be fairly straightforward.


Does thunder appear on other planets?

no thunder does not appear in other planets


Are there any other planets we don't knoe about?

There are many other planets in many other galaxies.


What are the planets that live in space?

Planets do not live. They are inorganic material. The planets that exist in our solar system from closest to the sun to the furthest are... Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Beyond Neptune there are many planetoids including Pluto (which used to be considered a planet) We have discovered many other planets orbiting other stars, but I don't know all the names that have been given to them.
