How are Pluto and most moons of the gas giant planets similar?

Most of the gas giants planet's and Pluto all have the same material when they were made which which came from the Kuiper Belt


What are the two main differences between the gas giants and Pluto?

Two main differences between Pluto and it's gas giant neighbours are:1. Size - The gas planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus) are huge compared to Pluto. Neptune, the smallest of the gas giants, has a diameter that is over 20x that of Pluto, and a mass that is more than 7786x that of Pluto. In fact, compared to Earth, Pluto is tiny, with a diameter that is less than 0.02% that of Earth and a mass that is less than 19% that of Earth!2. Composition - The gas planets are, as their name suggests, composed of gas. Pluto, on the other hand, is rocky. Although the exact composition of Pluto has yet to be verified, it is estimated that it is made up of 50-70% rock and 30-50% ice.


Why is Saturn not a dwarf planet?

If you can tell Saturn is one of the Gas giants and is not small as Pluto is.


Has Pluto anything in common with the gas giant planets?

Pluto does not share many similarities with the gas giants. While the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are large, composed mostly of gas, and have rings and multiple moons, Pluto is much smaller, rocky, and considered a dwarf planet on the outskirts of our solar system.

Is Pluto the only outer planet that is small and rocky?

Yes. The others are gas giants.


Which gas giants orbit is crossed by a dwarf planet?

Neptune's orbit is crossed by Pluto.


What is the difference between the gas giants and Pluto?

Pluto differs from the other outer planets in many ways, which is why it is no longer a planet. For example, it isn't a gas giant like the other outer planets. It isn't gassy and is relatively small. Pluto is made out of rock and doesn't have a thick gassy atmosphere like the Jovian planets; it has an icy atmosphere that melts only when near the sun to form an "atmosphere". Pluto doesn't have a quick, rapid spin on its axis like the gas giants. The Jovian planets take only a few hours to make 1 spin on its axis. Pluto takes a few days to spin 360 degrees on its axis. The gas giants all have rings, but Pluto does not. Pluto also has an elliptical orbit more like an asteroid or comet than a planet or gas giant. Pluto is considered a "dwarf" planet since it is small and found in the Kuiper Belt (asteroid belt). Finally, Pluto has only one moon, large compared to Pluto, and the gas giants all have a lot of moons which are small compared to the gas planets.


How is Pluto different from the gas planets?

Pluto is not a planet anymore, it has been reclassified as a dwarf planet since 2006. It is very different from the four gas giants, much smaller and less massive. It has a solid.
