Summary of passage

Pluto used to be the ninth planet in our solar system but is now classified as a dwarf planet due to its small size. Discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto is located in the Kuiper Belt, 3.6 billion miles away from the sun. It has a thin atmosphere of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide, with a surface covered in ice and unique features like mountains and valleys. Pluto has five moons, with Charon being the largest and orbiting around a point between Pluto and itself. A day on Pluto is 6.5 Earth days long, and a year is 248 Earth years. Despite its distance and size, Pluto remains an important object for scientific study in our solar system.
