Since there have been no spacecraft probes to fly-by Pluto, and there will not be one until 2015, not much is known about this icy planet. Much of what scientists know are observations made from Charon eclipsing Pluto and Pluto's chance encounter in occulting (covering up) a star. When Pluto occulted a star, a haze was revealed suggesting that Pluto likely has an extremely thin atmosphere. This atmosphere is probably made up of a blend of nitrogen and methane. These elements may exist as a gas when Pluto is closest to the Sun, but would then freeze as Pluto moves further away.

What are three characteristics for the planet Jupiter?

If Mars has Martians Jupiter has?
Jupiter does not have Martians or any known forms of life as we know it. Jupiter is a gas giant planet primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with extreme atmospheric conditions that are not conducive to supporting life.
Can you drive on Jupiter?
No, it is not possible to drive on Jupiter. Jupiter is a gas giant with no solid surface to drive on. Additionally, the extreme atmospheric conditions and high gravity would make it impossible for any vehicle to navigate on its surface.
Why do Uranus and Neptune have blue methane clouds but Jupiter and Saturn do not?
Uranus and Neptune have blue methane clouds because methane absorbs red light, reflecting blue light back into space. Jupiter and Saturn have different atmospheric compositions, dominated by hydrogen and helium with no significant levels of methane, which is why they appear different in color.
Will you be crushed on Jupiter?
Yes, if you were to stand on Jupiter, you would be crushed due to its immense atmospheric pressure, which increases dramatically as you descend into the planet. Jupiter is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, and it lacks a solid surface like Earth. The pressure at the level where a solid surface might be expected would be millions of times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure, making survival impossible.
What are the atmospheric conditions on Jupiter?
hydrogen helium
How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
What are the major atmospheric gases of Jupiter?
Hydrogen,and Helium
What is Jupiter's atmospheric condition?
lots o' hydrogen
Was an atmospheric probe sent to Jupiter in 1955?
Yes,you big loser.
What are the special features of Jupiter?
Jupiter is the largest of our solar system's planets and is a gas giant with long-lived atmospheric storms.
Why couldn't you survive on Jupiter?
Jupiter has very strong gravity, extremely high atmospheric pressure, poisonous gasses and probably no surface.
What if someone wanted to land on Jupiter?
They would quickly be crushed by the atmospheric pressure.
What are the characteristics of Jupiter's moons?
the are all big and have craters
What are three characteristics for the planet Jupiter?

Has anyone fly on Jupiter?
No, no human has ever flown on Jupiter. Jupiter is a gas giant with extreme atmospheric conditions, including high levels of radiation and pressure, making it inhospitable for human exploration or travel.
Why is Jupiter so hot?
The planet Jupiter has temperatures that reach 35,500 C near the center. The high temperature is due to the atmospheric pressure and the molten lower regions.
