Visit Pluto. Lose Weight.
JOE’S
To date, there are five objects orbiting the sun that are
called dwarf planets. Pluto is one of them. Write down
the letters on the correct path through this maze to
discover the name of another of the dwarf planets.
If you visited Pluto, you would weigh much less there than you do on
Earth. Do the math to find out how much less each person weighs on Pluto.
