Pluto (dwarf planet)

Pluto is a tiny, icy dwarf planet located at the farthest reaches of our solar system, where the sun is nothing but a tiny, far-off speck.

It was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh, who was searching for Planet X, the elusive ninth planet. However, after discovering Pluto, astronomers soon realized it was too small and too far away to be a planet. Poor Pluto got demoted to “dwarf planet” status in 2006.

Pluto’s surface is covered in frozen nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide, because apparently it snows gasoline on Pluto. This makes it the perfect destination for any wannabe snowman planning their next winter getaway.

On Pluto, the sun is so distant that it appears as just another bright star in the sky. So, if you ever visit Pluto, don’t bother packing your sunscreen.

One of the weirdest things about Pluto is that it sometimes has a thicker atmosphere than Earth. But don’t get too excited–you still won’t be able to breathe there.

Pluto’s moon, Charon, is so big that the Pluto-Charon system is sometimes considered a “double dwarf planet” instead. Imagine if you had a roommate so big that you had to share the title of “person.”

In conclusion, Pluto may not be a planet, but it’s still one of the coolest (literally) objects in our solar system. And although it’s been downgraded, it still holds a special place in our hearts–and in the hearts of all the snowmen out there.
