who discover pluto
Pluto was discovered after the 8 planets and was originally considered a planet itself until 2006.
In the early 1900s pluto was called planat X. Percival Lowell calculated the rough location of Planet "X's" orbit, but died in 1916 before it was found. then the planat was discoverd by American astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh in 1930 and named Pluto. He did his observations at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona.

who discover pluto

Pluto has one large moon, named Charon; two small moons called Nix and Hydra were discovered in 2005 and another was discovered in 2011 it is called P4.
charon is the larest moon around pluto out of the four and it take one day for it to rotate around pluto it go at the same speed of pluto.Charon is small, about 1,172 km (728 miles) in diameter, it about half of the size of Pluto itself. Charon orbits about 19,640 km from Pluto on average. The two tiny moons, Nix and Hydra, are from 30 and 100 miles (45 to 160 km) in diameter, and orbit Pluto about 27,000 miles (44,000 km) from Pluto, more than twice as far as the orbit of Charon. Another moon, P4, was discovered by the Hubble telescope in 2011.

pluto is the farthest away from the sun when we use to call it our ninth planat. it is 39. 5 AU or 5,913,520,000 km away from earth. its diamiter is roughly 2274 km give or take. and its mass is 1.27 e22 kg if you doing know what e is it is squared.
