| − | + | '''Pluto''' is a [[:simple:dwarf planet|dwarf planet]] in the [[Solar System]].<ref>[https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/dwarf-planets/pluto/overview/ Pluto Overview]</ref> Its [[:simple:Minor planet names|formal name]] is '''134340 Pluto'''. The dwarf planet is the ninth largest body that moves around the [[Sun]]. At first, Pluto was called a planet. Now, it is the largest body in the [[Kuiper belt]]. | |

| + | Like other [[:simple:wikt:member|members]] of the Kuiper belt, Pluto is mainly made of rock and ice. It is quite small. It is about a fifth (⅕) of the weight of the [[Earth]]'s [[Moon]]. It is only a third (⅓) its volume. Pluto is very far from the Sun, so its temperature is very low. The average temperature on Pluto is -223 degrees Celsius. It has an [[orbital eccentricity|odd]] orbit and this orbit is very sloped. It takes Pluto to 30 to 49 [[Astronomical unit|AU]] (4.4–7.4 billion km) from the Sun. This causes Pluto to sometimes go closer to the Sun than [[Neptune]]. | ||
