How long is a year on Pluto?

One year on Pluto is 247.94 Earth years, or 90,560 Earth days.

A year is the time it takes a planet or other object to orbit the Sun. More distant objects orbit more slowly, so they have a longer year.

Trivia: Pluto was discovered and classified as a planet in 1930. In 2006 it was demoted to dwarf planet, meaning that it was known as a planet for less than one of its own years.
