This page shows Pluto location and other relevant astronomical data in real time. The celestial coordinates, magnitude, distances and speed are updated in real time and are computed using high quality data sets provided by the JPL Horizons ephemeris service (see acknowledgements for details).
18 mar 2016 · Pluto's small size and low mass mean that it has a density of 1.86 grams per cubic centimeter according to recent measurements by New Horizons, about 40 percent of Earth's density.

13 lip 2015 · Pluto’s newly estimated size means that its density is slightly lower than previously thought, and the fraction of ice in its interior is slightly higher. Also, the lowest layer of Pluto’s atmosphere, called the troposphere, is shallower than previously believed.
Having a more precise diameter gives scientists the ability to more accurately calculate Pluto’s average density. This is important information for scientists because it helps them understand the composition of Pluto. 1. Find the radius(r) of Pluto. 2,370 kilometers ÷ 2 = 1,185 km. 2. Find the circumference of Pluto. C = 2 π r = 7,446 km. 3.
Pluto is about two-thirds the diameter of Earth's Moon and probably has a rocky core surrounded by a mantle of water ice. Interesting ices like methane and nitrogen frost coat the surface. Due to its lower density, Pluto's mass is about one-sixth that of Earth's Moon. Surface. Surface
4 paź 2021 · The rate at which the star disappeared and reappeared determined the density profile of Pluto’s atmosphere.
