Out where Pluto is, …
Out where Pluto is, it will still be pretty cold. But it will be somewhat warmer, so Pluto (and all the outer planets) will most likely go through some changes. But since we still know so little about Pluto and its atmosphere, I wouldn’t be confident making a prediction. Jupiter, however, may find itself in the habitable zone briefly, and it’s possible that its moons could support some forms of primitive life for a brief period of time.

What would happen …
What would happen to pluto when our sun reaches the red giant phase? Will it melt since it’s practically ice? And what about jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune.

Poor Pluto, he got booted just cuz of his size. Isn’t there some sort of intergalactic law against planetary discrimination?

I like how simply put this is. Perfect for those people who argue about Pluto just for the sake of arguing. Most don’t know why it’s a dwarf planet, they just no it’s not a planet anymore…

Many asteroids do, …
Many asteroids do, but I don’t think any have been confirmed around a known dwarf planet. However, since dwarf planets are very small (and therefore hard to resolve), moons may be lurking undiscovered.

Plute and it’s moon …
Plute and it’s moon Charon have a common center of gravity that is located not in Pluto but in the space between the two objects. Because of this, it can be said that Pluto and Charon orbit each other!

does anyone thing …
does anyone thing about the gravitation of pluto and its moon??? i mean wouldnt that have some effect on how it would orbit its sun???

think about it. its moon is like half its size so should its gravity effect pluto in some way. that could explain the odd orbit and i dought plutos moon is orbiting as flat with the sun as the planets. im thinking the moon moves the planet a little off its course because the moon is not only orbiting pluto but the sun too. so it would be drown to the sun also.
