What is true about Pluto?
Pluto is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the outer part of
the solar system. It was discovered in 1930 and was considered the ninth
planet in our solar system until 2006, when the International Astronomical
Union decided to reclassify it as a dwarf planet. Pluto has a rocky core and is
covered by an atmosphere of methane, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide. It has
five known moons, with the largest being Charon, which is approximately half
the size of Pluto. Despite its small size, Pluto and its moons are of great
interest to astronomers, as they provide insight into the history and evolution
of the solar system.
