*Pluto is name by Venetia Burney Phair, when she was 11 years old.*
The girl who name 9th planet: Pluto

While it takes 9 years for the spacecraft to reach pluto.
Light can get there in 5.5hours, but that is still a long distance.
And Earth takes 1 year (365 days) do move around the sun, for pluto
it will take 247.92 Earth years.
