Pluto what a character it is. Whoops wrong Pluto.This is my second post on the Kuiper belt post and I've
chosen to dedicate this post to the largest object to be apart of the kuiper
belt that being controversial planet extraordinaire Pluto. Pluto our former 9th
planet is now classified to be a dwarf planet.

Proportionally in this photo you can see why Pluto's planet
status was revoked. It has more going on it than our moon but it's definitely smaller than our moon. It is believe that Charon once considered Pluto's moon is
actually believed to have it's own mini-planetary system going on with Pluto.
Does that make it a dwarf system? There is no clear evidence of that system but
it is on the modern front of astronomy. Hydra and Nix though are two moons of
Pluto though obviously these moons are quite small they still have affects on
Pluto. Pluto's average temperature is between -235 and -210C.Pluto's atmosphere is made up of mostly of nitrogen and carbon monoxide. Although we have our first space mission on it's way to make a flyby Pluto we do not have any close up photos of it, and we cannot guarantee what the composition of the planet is. Astronomers assume that planet is about 70% rock and 30% liquid, but this is just what astronomers believe, when we land there, if we land there the analysis could be enitrely different.
