Pluto is 2,304 kilometers (1,432 miles) at the equator, and is only about the size of Russia. Pluto only has a mass of about one 400th that of Earth. Pluto is composed of several different materials, Pluto's thin crust is simply composed of ice, Pluto's mantel is quite rich in water and ice, Pluto's large core is probably about 70% rock, and 30% water ice. Radioactivity in the rock has warmed the interior, ensuring Pluto is spherical and differentiated; rock has sunk to the center and water ice has formed a surface layer. also present are ices of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane.
