4
Distance from Sun & Earth Its average distance from the sun is about 5.9 billion km from the sun When the planets are all lined up, Pluto is about 4.2 billion km from Earth When Pluto is on the other side of the sun it is about 7.5 billion km from Earth
5
Size & Density Pluto is a terrestrial planet Its size in km is 2274
6
Temperature Pluto is the second most cold planet in our solar system From day to night plutos temperature leans from -240 degrees C to -390 degrees F
7
Atmosphere Pluto is made up of mostly Methane, and nitrogen, and Carbon Monoxide Its atmosphere makes it impossible to live on.
8

10
Physical Characteristics Pluto’s density has a hint that it is likely to contain a mixture of 30% ice and 70% rock Pluto’s atmosphere is likely to have nitrogen combined with methane and carbon monoxide
11
