Here you can see that Pluto is not much bigger that its Moon.
Some people say that Pluto isn’t a Planet. Pluto is just a Moon from Neptune that got out of its gravitational pull. Other people think Pluto and it Moon is part of the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt is named after the Astronomer called Gerard Kuiper Those people call them “Super-Comets” or “Ice Dwarfs”. On Pluto there’s only a little of Sun’s heat, there. So, that means that Pluto is mostly made of Ice. Pluto was found in the same way as Neptune was found. The movement of Uranus. This time not Uranus’s movement, Neptune’s movement. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh. Clyde looked at millions of photographs. Until he found one looking more like a Planet. I don’t think I need to tell you again that, Pluto is not always the furthest from the Sun.
