Geology of Pluto - Wikipedia
High-resolution MVIC view of Pluto in enhanced color, illustrating variations in surface composition. The geology of Pluto consists of the characteristics of the surface, crust, and interior of Pluto. Because of Pluto's distance from Earth, in-depth study from Earth is difficult.

5 天之前 · An observer standing on Pluto’s surface would see the Sun as an extremely bright star in the dark sky, providing Pluto on average 1/1,600 of the amount of sunlight that reaches Earth. Pluto’s surface temperature therefore is so cold that common gases such as nitrogen and carbon monoxide exist there as ices.

2025年1月2日 · Pluto's day (that is, one complete rotation) takes exactly the same amount of time. That means that Charon always "hovers" over the same spot on Pluto's surface, and the same side of Charon always faces Pluto. At Pluto's current distance from the Sun, the temperature on its surface is about 400 degrees below zero Fahrenheit!
