What does Pluto do that no other planet does?
First of all, it's a dwarf planet: A celestial body orbiting the Sun that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but which has not cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals and is not a satellite. (Wikipedia) It has a greater semimajor axis (39.54 AU), is more steeply inclined to the ecliptic (17.15 degrees), and has a greater eccentricity (0.250) than that of any of the planets. In fact, Pluto's noncircular orbit sometimes takes it nearer the Sun than Neptune. ("Universe: The Solar System" Third Edition, Freedman and Kaufmann.)

Is the sun a moon or a star?
Our sun is a star. Stars are self-luminous celestial body which is made out of a mass of gasses that is held together by gravity. The light seen by us are caused by nuclear reactions occurring within the stars core. A moon is a celestial body that orbits a planet or other celestial body.
What does it mean if an outer planet is at superior conjunction?
An celestial body is at superior conjunction if it is on the opposite side of the sun from the Earth. A celestial body is at inferior conjunction when it is between the sun and the Earth. _______________________________________Only interior planets (Mercury and Venus) can have "superior conjunctions". The outer planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have either "conjunctions" (when the planet is on the other side of the Sun) or "opposition" (when the planet is opposite the Sun in the sky.
A planet is a?
A planet is a celestial body that orbits a star, is massive enough for its gravity to shape into a spherical or nearly spherical shape, and has cleared its orbit of other debris or objects. In our solar system, planets like Earth, Mars, and Jupiter orbit the Sun.
What is the capital of Mars?
Mars does not have a capital as it is a celestial body, not a nation or country. It is the fourth planet from the sun in our solar system.
