What Is Pluto?

Pluto is a small dwarf planet. It used to be classified as a  planet, but then some extremely clever people changed it to be a dwarf planet.

Pluto is so small that the earth’s moon is bigger than it. It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to orbit the sun once. So you would have to wait 248 years to celebrate your first birthday if you lived there. However you would not survive because pluto is colder than Antartica.Pluto is in an area of space called the kupier belt which has other bits of icy rock in it.The Earth’s air would freeze into a kind of snow there.One day on Pluto would be 6 1/2 days on Earth. Pluto is about 40 timesfurther fro the sun than Earth is. It also has 5 moons.Fun fact:pluto actually has a heart on it!
