This year it is commonly believed that Pluto is, with its irregular rotation, unable to maintain an atmosphere. However, at some points in its rotation around the sun, it develops enough inertia to maintain a thin atmosphere. This is coupled with the fact that Pluto is sometimes in a position close enough to the sun for its icy surface to sublimate. Sublimation describes what happens when a frozen material changes to gaseous form.
