Pluto's Bizarre Atmosphere! | KLT

The video introduces Pluto, a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, and its unique atmosphere. It discusses Pluto's elongated orbit and how its atmosphere expands and collapses based on its distance from the sun. The New Horizons mission in 2015 provided insights into Pluto's atmosphere, primarily composed of nitrogen. The video explores theories about the source of this nitrogen, including geological processes and sublimation-driven convection. The video concludes with a call for more evidence to support these theories.
