Atmospheric Composition

Pluto's tenuous atmosphere is composed of Nitrogen (N₂), Methane (CH₄) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) which are in equilibrium with their ices on Pluto's surface.

Natural Satellites

Charon

The gravitational influence of Charon on Pluto is such that the pair has been classified and unclassified as binary dwarf planet multiple times since its discovery in 1978.
