Editing Pluto

'''Pluto''' is the largest ''Plutino'', a trans-Neptunian object in the outer [[solar system]]. Pluto used to be considered the ninth planet, but  on 24 August 2006 astronomers have voted to reclassify it.

It has three natural satellites: [[Charon]] is the largest, and two smaller ones, [[Hydra]] and [[Nix]], have only recently been discovered.

Pluto is not included in the standard Orbiter distribution, but an addon can be downloaded from [[Orbithangar]].

-'''Pluto''' is a [[dwarf planet]] in the [[Solar System]].<ref>[https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/dwarf-planets/pluto/overview/ Pluto Overview], Retrieved 2019-04-01</ref> Its formal name is '''134340 Pluto'''. The dwarf planet is the ninth largest body that moves around the [[Sun]]. At first, Pluto was called a planet. Now, it is the largest body in the Kuiper belt.
+It has three natural satellites: [[Charon]] is the largest, and two smaller ones, [[Hydra]] and [[Nix]], have only recently been discovered.
-Like other members of the Kuiper belt, Pluto is mainly made of rock and ice. It is quite small. It is about a fifth (⅕) of the weight of the [[Earth]]'s [[Moon]]. It is only a third (⅓) its volume. Pluto is very far from the Sun, so its temperature is very low. The average temperature on Pluto is -223 degrees Celsius. It has an [[w:orbital eccentricity|odd]] orbit and this orbit is very sloped. It takes Pluto to 30 to 49&nbsp;[[Astronomical unit|AU]] (4.4–7.4 billion&nbsp;km) from the Sun. This causes Pluto to sometimes go closer to the Sun than [[Neptune]].
+Pluto is not included in the standard Orbiter distribution, but an addon can be downloaded from [[Orbithangar]].
