If a person could drive in a car nonstop at 70mph in space it would take him 5000 years to reach Pluto where it is now.

Which is which?

And what exactly is Pluto now that it's no longer a planet.

Pluto = right
Charon = left

It is considered a dwarf planet by the IAU, a planet by some others, and a binary planet system by another group.

Distance is space is one of the more difficult concepts to fully understand. Hell, most people don't even know how long a meter is.
