PLUTO
Pluto is the farthest known planet in the solar system.
Nearly six billion kilometers from the Sun, Pluto is a very small and lonely
world. It is not a gas planet like its four closest neighbors, and is smaller
than Earth's own moon! Many scientists question whether or not Pluto is
even a planet at all. Some think that Pluto and it's moon Charon are instead
moons from other planets that went astray. Pluto, made of ice and frozen
gases resembles a moon of the gas giants more than some of the gas giants'
own moons! Perhaps Pluto is a moon of Neptune sent into a new orbit by a
yet unknown, distant tenth planet? There is no hard evidence to support
this theory, but only science and time will tell.
