Definition: Plutons are a type of subatomic particle that is often associated with the sun. They are part of the heavier elements and are primarily found in the outer layers of our solar system, particularly in the Kuiper Belt and beyond. In general terms, they are thought to be responsible for most of the energy released by nuclear fusion reactions in stars like our Sun. This energy is then converted into heat, light, and other forms of energy that we use around us every day, such as electricity
