The temperature near Pluto's surface varies from 33 K to almost 60 K due to the elongated shape of its orbit. Under such conditions, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, water, and methane freeze. The main component on the surface of the dwarf planet is nitrogen ice. Near the perihelion point, due to heating, it changes from a solid state to a gaseous state, increasing atmospheric pressure. However, Pluto's atmosphere is very thin and consists of nitrogen with admixtures of methane and carbon monoxide. Un
