Dwarf Planet Pluto
A dwarf planet that was the 9th planet from the Sun in our solar system until 2006 when it was determined it did not satisfy the requirements of being a planet.

Of a sort. Pluto is too cold and has too little of an atmosphere to support the formation of cloud, but cryovolcanoes eject cold material from Pluto's slightly warmer interio, resulting in a sort of "snow" of frozen nitrogen.
How long is one year on Pluto in earth days?
One year on Pluto is equivalent to about 248 Earth years, which is about 90,560 Earth days. This is because Pluto's year is much longer than Earth's due to its far distance from the Sun and its slow orbital motion.
Would the sun look bright or dim from Pluto?
The sun would appear dim from Pluto compared to Earth because of the increased distance from the sun. Despite being the same size in the sky, the reduced sunlight reaching Pluto's surface due to its greater distance leads to a dimmer appearance.
Pluto has no light, and thus never "got it". It does however radiate photons in a very low frequency (not visible) in accordance to the theory of black body radiation. If you meant, "why can we see Pluto in the visible light spectrum?" then the answers is simply that the light was reflected from the sun.
How long is a rotation of Pluto?
Rotation Period about Axis: (length of Pluto's day) 6.387 days (retrograde). A year on Pluto is 248 Earth years.
Pluto is believed to be 50% to 75% rock; the rest composed of ice.
It is a rugged planet which is very cold and has a temperature of
-230 degrees Celsius
What is pluto's period of revolution around the sun?
According to Wikipedia, on Pluto a "...year lasts 90,613.305 Earth days, 248.09 Earth years or 14,164.4 Pluto solar days."
One planetary year is the length of time it takes that planet to travel from one place all the way around the sun and return to the same place.
The temperature range of Pluto is 33 degrees Kelvin to 55 degrees Kelvin.
Is Pluto part of the solar system?
Yes. Pluto may no longer be considered a major planet but it is still part of the Solar System! The Solar System includes the Sun, planets, dwarf planets (including Pluto), moons, asteroids, comets, centaurs, trans-Neptunian objects and interplanetary dust particles amongst other things: basically the Sun and everything that orbits around it. Pluto orbits the Sun, so it's still part of the Solar System.
How many days does Pluto orbit the sun?
0.00403087 times in one year.
248 earth years.
Pluto revolves around the sun all the time. Even without ever stopping, it takes
248 years to complete one revolution. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has made
less than 1/3 of a complete orbit around the sun.
How long does Pluto revolve around the sun?
Pluto's orbital path is quite eccentric ... its minimum distance from the sun is only
about 61 percent of its maximum distance, and as we all know, a planet moves
fastest when it's nearest the sun, and slowest when it's farthest away from the
sun. But the online reference that I consulted lists Pluto's 'average' orbital speed
as 4.666 kilometers per second (2.9 miles per second), and I'm certainly neither
positioned nor motivated to dispute that.
What is the size and color of Pluto?
Pluto has a diameter of about 1,473 miles (2,370 kilometers), making it smaller than Earth's moon. Its color is reddish-brown due to the presence of tholins, complex organic molecules that form as a result of sunlight interacting with methane and nitrogen in Pluto's atmosphere.
What is the average density of Pluto?
The average density of Pluto is 2.03 g/cm3. This figure differs significantly from the 1.64g/cm3 density of Neptune or the 687.00 kg/m3 density of Saturn.
A year on Pluto is about 248 Earth years long. This is because Pluto takes approximately 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun due to its far distance from the Sun and its slow orbital speed.
Does Pluto have Moons?
Pluto has three moons. Pluto is now reclassified as a dwarf planet and not the ninth planet in the solar system.
Does Pluto have rings?
Astronomers have no Idea. Pluto is so far away that it's impossible to get a clear view of Pluto from here on Earth.
hope this helps.How long does it take Pluto's moon to go around Pluto?
Pluto's largest moon is called Charon and it takes 6.39 days to travel around Pluto! It is also the largest moon in comparison to its "parent" planet in the solar system! (about half the size of Pluto)
Can you walk to the Sun from Pluto?
Yes! Gravity is a force that attracts everything in the Universe to everything else. The force of gravity between two objects is stronger the more massive the objects are and the closer they are to each other. That's why we only feel Earth's gravity pulling us down - because the Earth is so massive, and close to us.
Pluto has gravity, but because it's much, much less massive than the Earth is is much weaker. A person on Pluto would be 1/15th of their Earth weight.
How far is the Earth from Pluto?
Pluto is about 5,913 million km far from the sun (on average).
Earth is about 150 million km far from the sun.
Earth is about 5,763 million km far from Pluto.
BUT PLUTO IS NOT PLANET ANYMORE
One Pluto year equals how many Earth years?
To get from Earth to Pluto it takes 5763 km to get their.
Why does Mercury have a shorter year than Pluto?
Years on Mercury are shorter because Mercury is closer to the Sun. Being closer means that Mercury has less distance to travel to make a trip around the sun, and it also means that Mercury is moving faster because the Sun's gravity is stronger at the closer distance.
How long would it take to reach the planet Pluto from Earth?
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!
Life on Pluto would be extremely challenging due to its distance from the Sun, resulting in very low temperatures averaging around -375°F (-225°C). The surface is icy and rocky, with very limited sunlight and no atmosphere capable of supporting life as we know it. It is considered one of the most inhospitable places in our solar system.
What is the air like on Pluto?
Astronomers suspect it has a relatively light, rocky core of water and silicates, and the corresponding gravity is only one-fifteenth Earth's. The atmosphere (when it exists) is sublimated nitrogen. The surface has a highly reflective layer of frozen gases at a maximum temperature of just 40 to 50 Celsius degrees above absolute zero.
