it is farther from the sun
Pluto has a lower temperature because it is further from the sun than any of the eight planets.
Jovian planets, which include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, generally have lower average temperatures than terrestrial planets. This is primarily because Jovian planets are much farther from the Sun and have thick atmospheres that retain heat. However, they can have high temperatures deep within their atmospheres due to gravitational compression and internal heat sources. In contrast, terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars have higher surface temperatures due to their proximity to the Sun.
Gas giants generally have lower average temperatures than terrestrial planets due to their greater distance from the Sun, which results in less solar energy absorbed. Additionally, their thick atmospheres, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, do not retain heat as effectively as the rocky surfaces of terrestrial planets. This combination of distance and atmospheric composition contributes to their cooler overall temperatures.
The early solar system comprised of a disk of gas which was hot near the newly formed protosun (about 2000 degrees Kelvin) and cooler at further distances. Rocky substances condensed at the higher (inner) temperatures, while icy substances condense at much lower temperatures further out (about 200 degrees Kelvin) and hydrogen and helium at lower temperatures still - just above absolute zero. So in the early stages, the inner solar system was rocky, while the planets forming in the outer regions of the solarsystem were made from (and accumulated) ice and gas. Things have pretty much remained this way since.
Gas giants generally have lower average temperatures than terrestrial planets due to their greater distance from the Sun, which results in less solar radiation reaching them. Additionally, their thick atmospheres, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, can trap heat but do not retain it as effectively as the solid surfaces of terrestrial planets. Moreover, gas giants have significant internal heat sources from gravitational compression and residual heat from their formation, but this is often not enough to raise their average temperatures above those of the closer, solid terrestrial planets.

Fluids behave differently on the Moon and other planets primarily due to variations in gravity and atmospheric pressure. On the Moon, with its lower gravity, fluids would flow more slowly and take longer to settle. Additionally, the lack of a substantial atmosphere means there is less evaporation and no surface tension effects influenced by air pressure. On planets with different atmospheric conditions, such as those with high pressure or different temperatures, fluids can exhibit unique behaviors, such as boiling at higher or lower temperatures.
Yes, there is a general trend where planets further from the sun tend to have lower densities compared to planets closer to the sun. This is because closer planets experienced higher temperatures during their formation, leading to the loss of volatile compounds and the retention of denser materials.
The early solar system comprised of a disk of gas which was hot near the newly formed protosun (about 2000 degrees Kelvin) and cooler at further distances. Rocky substances condensed at the higher (inner) temperatures, while icy substances condense at much lower temperatures further out (about 200 degrees Kelvin) and hydrogen and helium at lower temperatures still - just above absolute zero. Gas collected together in the outer part of the solar system to form the four gas giant planets, while rocks collected together in the inner part of the solar system to form the four inner planets, which included the earth. Early on, there was a lot of smaller pieces of rock, and a lot of collisions, but this eventlly settled down as the planets formed.

A direct result of having a larger orbit than some other planets is that it takes longer for the planet to complete one full revolution around the Sun, leading to a longer orbital period or year. Additionally, planets with larger orbits tend to be farther from the Sun, resulting in lower temperatures and slower atmospheric processes compared to those closer to the Sun. This can also affect their gravitational influences on nearby celestial bodies.
