The atmosphere of Pluto is the layer of gasses that surround the dwarf planet Pluto. It consists mainly of nitrogen (N 2), with minor amounts of methane (CH 4) and carbon monoxide (CO), all of which are vaporized from surface ices on Pluto 's surface.
6 ημέρες πριν · The temperature near the surface is 45 K (−228 °C, or −379 °F). Haze layers are seen up to an altitude of 200 km (120 miles). The upper atmosphere is quite extended, going up to 1,800 km (1,100 miles) from the surface, and quite cold, which keeps nitrogen from escaping into space.
Pluto has a thin, tenuous atmosphere that expands when it comes closer to the Sun and collapses as it moves farther away – similar to a comet. The main constituent is molecular nitrogen, though molecules of methane and carbon monoxide have also been detected.
Numerous layers of blue haze float in Pluto's atmosphere. Along and near the limb, mountains and their shadows are visible. Pluto has a tenuous atmosphere consisting of nitrogen (N 2), methane (CH 4), and carbon monoxide (CO), which are in equilibrium with their ices on Pluto's surface.

18 Μαρ 2016 · A suggested atmosphere around Pluto (6 – 11) was confirmed by means of ground-based stellar occultation in 1988 (12, 13) and subsequently studied with later occultations (14 – 16) and spectra at near-infrared and microwave wavelengths (17, 18) and with models of increasing sophistication.
28 Ιαν 2016 · This image from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is the first look at Pluto’s atmosphere in infrared wavelengths, and the first image of the atmosphere made with data from the New Horizons Ralph/Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) instrument.
