Pluto is a dwarf planet

About the Model

Pluto is smaller than the Earth's moon and lies beyond the orbit of Neptune. Pluto is a fascinating dwarf planet with blue skies, spinning moons, mountains and red snow. Did you know Pluto has a heart shaped glacier the size of Texas and Oklahoma? On July 14, 2015, NASA made a historic flight to Pluto and captured the first close-up images of this dwarf planet and its moons.
