Size comparison: Pluto vs Earth

Size comparison between the dwarf planet Pluto and Earth.

This comparison allows us to see how tiny Pluto is next to Earth. It takes 247 years for this dwarf planet to orbit the sun. Its temperature is extremely low with -229°C (-380°F). The gravity on its surface is also very low. Despite its size, Pluto has 5 natural satellites. Its atmosphere is poor. Its crust is mainly composed of ice and silicate.
