TNO = trans neptunian object, basically far out dwarf planet

Obviously there would be less sun to greenhouse, but theoretically could that be a way to have closer-to-earth habitats far away from a star?

edit: the TNO does not have to be like Pluto, it can be bigger or have different conditions

    Most chemicals that are gasses this close to the sun are solids that far out. Carbon dioxide freezes at just -79 C at one atmosphere of pressure. The energy coming in from the sun would not be enough to keep good greenhouse gasses from precipitating out of the atmosphere.
