Pluto’s low mass, high density, slow rotation, absence of an atmosphere, and peculiar orbit make it entirely dissimilar to the superior giant planets. Some astronomers hold the view that Pluto was a satellite of one of these planets, possibly of Neptune. However, the large mass of Pluto, ...
Gou said with further exploration of the universe, more planets are expected to have Chinese names in the future.
