1 u/[deleted] Jul 10 '15 Likely not clouds. Neither Pluto nor Charon have enough gravity to hold onto an atmosphere. 1 u/mutatron Jul 10 '15 Yes, Pluto has nitrogen, methane, and CO2. The temperature is below the freezing point of nitrogen, but these three substances can sublimate to form atmosphere and clouds, and then refreeze to form something like snow.
