plutonian kite

hey everyone! here's a new one called "plutonian kite" although the plutonians are still mad (whewwww...and i mean maddddd!!!) bout being demoted to "not a planet status" they still enjoy flyin' a kite! Pluto's temperature is about 43 K (-230 °C), but....The presence of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, in Pluto's atmosphere creates a temperature inversion, with average temperatures 36 K warmer 10 km above the surface. in other words the kite "sweet spot" is about 10 kilometers above the surface!!! phun! :) ph
