  2. Climate of Pluto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Pluto

    The region experiences a continuous sunrise and sunset for each and every Pluto rotation period of 6.4 days over a time period of 10 million years. [1] The present-day diurnal climate zone of Pluto spans from 30°N to 30°S, encompassing 50% of the total surface area, due to the current axial tilt of 120°.

  3. Pluto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto

    The presence of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, in Pluto's atmosphere creates a temperature inversion, with the average temperature of its atmosphere tens of degrees warmer than its surface, [142] though observations by New Horizons have revealed Pluto's upper atmosphere to be far colder than expected (70 K, as opposed to about 100 K). [137]

  4. Atmosphere of Pluto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Pluto

    The temperature on the surface is 40 to 60 K (−230 to −210 °C), [6] but it quickly rises with altitude due to a methane-generated greenhouse effect. Near the altitude of 30 km it reaches 110 K (−163 °C), where it then slowly decreases afterwards with height. [7] Pluto is the only trans-Neptunian object with a known atmosphere. [7]

  6. Sputnik Planitia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_Planitia

    At Pluto's ambient temperature of 38 K (−235.2 °C; −391.3 °F), nitrogen and carbon monoxide ices are denser and much less rigid than water ice, making glacial-like flows possible; nitrogen ice is the most volatile. [5] The nitrogen ice of the basin rests on Pluto's crust mostly composed of much more rigid water ice. [14]

    Prepare for a time of renewal. Pluto, the planet of intensity, destruction, transformation and rebirth, will enter Aquarius on Nov. 19 and remain there until March 8, 2043.

  9. Anti-greenhouse effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-greenhouse_effect

    This means that the surface temperature is reduced from the effective mean radiating temperature by 16%, which is a potentially significant cooling effect. [1] This is an ideal case and represents the maximum impact the anti-greenhouse effect can have and will not be the impact for a real planet or large moon.
