Is the planet Pluto falling apart?
Pluto is not falling apart. It is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, and its surface is largely made up of rock and ice. While Pluto's atmosphere is slowly escaping into space, it is not breaking apart as a result.
What are craters on a planet?

What type of surface does Mars have?
