Pluton je leta 1930 odkril 24-letni Clyde Tombaugh, ki je s pomo\u010djo posebnega aparata primerjal fotografije neba. Izkazalo se je, da gre za majhen svet, \u0161e manj\u0161i od na\u0161e Lune.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pluton se giblje po elipti\u010dni (jaj\u010dasti) tirnici, katere razpon zna\u0161a od 7.381 milijonov km (49 razdalj med Soncem in Zemljo) do 4.446 milijonov km (30 razdalj med Soncem in Zemljo). Ker en obhod traja 248 let, nih\u010de, rojen na Plutonu, ne bi nikoli do\u017eivel niti enega rojstnega dne!<\/p>\n

O Plutonu je znanega zelo malo. Njegova povr\u0161ina je izjemno mrzla (-230 stopinj C) in je o\u010ditno prekrita z zamrznjenim ledom. V zadnjih letih je bil precej blizu Sonca in je do\u017eivel kratko poletje. Led na povr\u0161ini se je uparil in ustvaril tanko atmosfero. Vendar se zdaj umika v mrzle globine Oson\u010dja in ta atmosfera bo kmalu ponovno zamrznila.<\/p>\n

Pluton se vrti \u201cv nasprotni smeri\u201d (z vzhoda proti zahodu) enkrat na 6 dni in 9 ur. Njegov najve\u010dji satelit, Haron, potrebuje enako dolgo \u010dasa, da obkro\u017ei Pluton. To pomeni, da kdor koli, ki bi \u017eivel na eni strani Plutona, Harona nikoli ne bi videl. Nedavno sta bila s Hubblovim vesoljskim teleskopom odkrita dva manj\u0161a satelita.<\/p>\n

Dolga leta je veljalo, da je Pluton deveti planet od Sonca (\u010deprav se v\u010dasih pribli\u017ea Soncu bolj kot Neptun). Danes velja za \u201cpritlikavi planet\u201d. Je tudi eden najve\u010djih \u010dlanov Kuiperjevega pasu, skupine ledenih svetov, ki zasedajo prostor onstran Neptuna.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
