在文章第二段的第二句:

Pluto is not included in either category, because its great distance from Earth and its small size make this planet's true nature a mystery.

its great distance from Earth and its small size make this planet's true nature a mystery

nature: https://reurl.cc/nZWLOn

這句話的make this planet's true nature a mystery我搞不太清楚它的結構是如何

不過我大概猜了一下這邊的意思->Pluto跟地球間的很長的距離跟它的小尺寸使得它真正的本質很神秘?

Yes. 那是學術/文謅謅的說法。白話點的話：We don't know what it's like exactly. We don't know what it's made of. ...
以月亮爲例: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon
列表的 Orbital characteristics, Physical characteristics, Atmosphere 以及幾年前拍到的近距離照片，這些都是 this planet's nature

原來如此，我有點想通了，這就像補語一樣，只有make this planet's true nature 意思並不完整，我們還是不知道its great distance from Earth and its small size 使得(make) this planet's true nature 造成什麼結果。所以再加上a mystery才能表示使得this planet's true nature變得如何，或令人感到如何

dunchee

Yes.
