The Pluto pom-pom parameter

This is the number which you never knew you needed until now.

Pluto mass = 1.30900 x 10^22 kg

200 g ball of wool (acrylic)

10-12 pom poms per 106 yards

10 cm diameter

3 ply wool
106 yards
100 g = 10 pom poms
1 kg = 1000 g = 100 pom poms

Number of pom poms in Pluto = 1.30900 x 10^22 x 100 (for each kg)

= 130.900 x 10^22
