The Story of Banished Planet Part-2
Pluto is discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 18th Feb 1930.
Pluto is named by the student of London Oxford school.
His name is Venetia Burney Phair.
He was named to Pluto at the age of 11.
Venetia says that Pluto is the name of God of Darkness in Roman. However, Pluto is very dark planet. So he named the Roman god's name to planet Puto.
In first part, i explained why pluto is removed as planet and considered as a Dwarf planet by IAU in 25th August 2006.
If you missed the Part-1 please check that article by clicking here.
In this chapter i would like to explain the Atmosphere, Conditions, Time period and Inner region of the Pluto.
We all know that Pluto is very small planet in our solar system. It is very far from sun. Hence, it's orbit is very clear. It's orbit is filled with full of darkness. Pluto is very cold & Dark planet.
The temperature in the Pluto is able to break the human bones with it's Coldness.
The temperature is approximately -224°C to -240°C.
Sun rays takes 5.5 hours to reach Pluto.
Pluto takes 𝟮𝟰𝟴 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 to make one revolution around the sun.
Which means one year of Pluto is equal to the 248 earth years to us.
One day in Pluto is equal to the 6.5 days in earth.
Sometimes it makes me laugh about thinking Pluto. Because if anyone born in Pluto, he will be die without celebrating his first birthday.
Geographical image of Pluto by satellites |
The atmosphere of Pluto is filled with Methane, Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide.
If we see the pluto in geographical view, we can see the Rocks, and Mountains of Ice. And we see the ice surfaces on Pluto.
Heart shaped sea in Pluto |
If we observe clearly we can see a heart shaped sea. This sea is named as Sputnik Planitia. This is covered with full of ice. This is large sea with 1,000km Height, 8,00km Width and 1,00km Depth.
This sea is filled with Ice which contains Carbon monoxide and Methane.
We can see Five moons from Pluto.
Pluto is very far from sun. Sun brightness on Pluto is 900 times less than on Earth.
So we can see the sun directly with our eyes comfortably.

When we want to go Pluto We must need to go with minimum distance.
If we want go to Pluto with our latest technology, it takes 9.6 years to go in Minimum distance.
