The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is 4.4 billion kilometers, which means that light from the Sun always takes longer than 4 hours to reach Pluto. For a rocket vehicle travelling at the speed that astronauts went to our Moon (less than 40,000 km/hr), it would take over 12 years to reach Pluto!

If you weigh 120 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on Pluto?

Since Pluto's gravitational pull on its surface is only about 6% that of the Earth on its surface, you would weigh 6% of your Earth weight if you were to stand on Pluto's surface. So, to convert your Earth-weight to your Pluto-weight, you have to multiply your Earth weight by 0.06. In this case, if you weigh 125 lbs on the Earth, you would weigh 7.43 lbs on Pluto.
