It's day is the equivalent to 1 week on Earth (7 days). It's look is unknown for now, until 2015, when New Horizons passes by and takes a picture of it. Like other members of the Kuiper belt, Pluto is composed primarily of rock and ice and is relatively small: approximately a fifth the mass of the Earth's moon and a third its volume. It has a highly eccentric and highly inclined orbit.
