  2. Atmosphere of Pluto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Pluto

    The overall change of atmospheric pressure in this model is about 4 times; the minimum was reached near 1970–1980, and the maximum will be near 2030. The full temperature range is only several degrees. [11] In July 2019, an occultation by Pluto showed that its atmospheric pressure, against expectations, had fallen by 20% since 2016. [45]

  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. Climate of Pluto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Pluto

    There are five climate zones on Pluto which are defined by the sub-solar latitude, [1] each with specific boundaries. However, the latitude ranges of the climate zones expand and shrink in response to the obliquity range of Pluto from a minimum of 103° to a maximum of 127° over the 2.8 million year oscillation period.

  7. REX (New Horizons) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REX_(New_Horizons)

    During the post Pluto cruise, REX is normally turned on monthly to measure the electron density of the solar wind between Earth and the spacecraft. [8] When New Horizons flew by Pluto in 2015, it was at about 32.9 AU from the Sun, and about 43.6 AU for the New Year's Day 2019 flyby of Arrokoth. [9] [10]
