  1. Pluto and its moons

  2. Size, Color, Surface Features, Rotation, Revolution, and Density • 2,302 km in diameter • 20% of Earth’s size • Darker color with white splotches • ice caps, sediment, nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide • Pluto takes 153.3 hours for it to be a single day, or rotation • 248 Earth years equals one year, or revolution, on Pluto • Pluto’s density equals 1/5 of Earth’s density

  3. Gravity and Compositions • Atmospheric Composition: It is 90% Nitrogen and 10% other complex things such as methane. • Interior Composition: It is made up of water and different ice phases. • Surface Composition: It is 98% Nitrogen. It has some methane and carbon monoxide. • Gravity in Relation to Earth: It is 1/12th the surface gravity on Earth. It is 1830 kg.

  4. Magnetic Field, Moons, and Uniqueness • 0 magnetic field • 4 moons • Hydra, Nix, Charon, P4 • Pluto god of the underworld • dwarf planet -far away -small -gas planet pattern -rotation w/ moons
