Pluto
PLUTO
Pluto is so small that it is only about half the width of the United States.
This is the reason why some scientists call it " The Dwarf Planet "
Pluto and its moon, Charon are locked so that they always face each other with the same side.
A radio signal from Pluto will take more than five hours to rach Earth.
Pluto is smaller than seven sattelites of the Solar System, including the Moon.
If you lived on Pluto, you had have to live 248 Earth years to celebrate your first birthday in Pluto-years.
If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 7 pounds on the planet Pluto!
A Pluto's moon Charon is about half the size of Pluto. Charon is the largest moon compared to its planet of any moon in the solar system.
