(gcide) | Pluto \Plu"to\ (pl[=u]"t[-o]), pr. n. [L., fr. Gr. Plou`twn.]
1. (Class. Myth.) The son of Saturn and Rhea, brother of
Jupiter and Neptune; the dark and gloomy god of the Lower
World.
[1913 Webster]
2. The ninth planet of the Solar System, the smallest (5700
km radius) and most distant from the sun. The suggestion
has been made that it more closely resembles a large close
comet than a planet. Its orbit has an eccentricity of
0.248, larger than that of any other planet; it varies
from 4.44 to 7.37 billion km distance from the sun.
[PJC]
Pluto is an oddball among its eight sister planets.
It's the smallest in both size and mass, and has the
most elliptical orbit. It moves in a plane tilted
markedly away from the other planets' orbits.
Moreover, Pluto is the only planet made almost
entirely of ice. --Ron Cohen

Feb. 27, 1999,
p. 139)
Pluto monkey (Zool.), a long-tailed African monkey
(Cercopithecus pluto), having side whiskers. The general
color is black, more or less grizzled; the frontal band is
white.

plutonium
(elements) | plutonium
Symbol: Pu
Atomic number: 94
Atomic weight: (242)
Dense silvery radioactive metallic transuranic element, belongs to the
actinoids. Pu-244 is the most stable isotope with a half-life of
7.6*10^7
years. Thirteen isotopes are known. Pu-239 is the most important, it
undergoes nuclear fission with slow neutrons and is hence important to
nuclear weapons and reactors. Plutonium production is monitored down to
the gram to prevent military misuse. First produced by Gleen T. Seaborg,
Edwin M. McMillan, J.W. Kennedy and A.C. Wahl in 1940.
