Pluto's surface is primarily composed of nitrogen ice, along with significant amounts of methane and carbon monoxide. These ices suggest a complex chemistry influenced by its extreme cold and low pressures. Additionally, scientists have detected tholins, which are organic compounds that may contribute to Pluto's reddish coloration. The presence of these chemicals indicates a dynamic and potentially active surface.
