The strange things are :
1) Its orbit is inclined at a large angle to the plane that the major planets orbit in. There are several other small planetoids (plutoids) with similarly inclined orbits.
2) There is a very large difference between its least and greatest distance from the Sun. This is referred to as a highly eccentric or highly elliptic orbit.

Is there anything strange about Pluto?
Yes. Because of its orbit Neptune and Pluto switch places every 20 years.
Is Pluto an orbit?
Answer: No, Pluto is not an orbit. Pluto is in an orbit: a 2:3 resonance orbit with Neptune.No, Pluto is a dwarf planet.
Part of Pluto's orbit is inside the orbit of?
Pluto's unusual orbit causes it to travel inside Neptune's orbit.
What planet does Pluto orbit?
Pluto doesn't orbit any planets, it orbits the sun. But if you mean what planet does Pluto share a orbit with is Neptune. Pluto sometimes is closer to the sun than Neptune because it cuts into Neptune's orbit.
What is the planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
The planet Neptune crosses the orbit of Pluto in an elliptic orbit

What planets orbit intersects with Pluto?
Pluto's orbit passes inside the orbit of Neptune.
Why does pluto take so long to orbit the earth?
No answer Pluto orbits the Sun Pluto does not orbit the Earth
Pluto's orbit sometimes takes it inside the orbit of?
Pluto's orbit sometimes carries inside the orbit of Neptune. One time, Pluto was stuck in Neptune's orbit for around 20 years.
Does Pluto's orbit overlaps the orbit of the asteroid Ceres?
Pluto's orbit DOES NOT overlap the orbit of the asteroid Ceres. But it does overlap the orbit of the planet neptune
Part of Pluto's orbit is inside the orbit of?
Pluto's unusual orbit causes it to travel inside Neptune's orbit.
What is the strange fact about Neptune and Pluto?
I'm not sure if any of these is "the strange fact", but they're all true:Pluto's orbit is so eccentric that it can be either nearer to or further away from the Sun than Neptune is (it spends the majority of its time further away, though, and only cuts inside Neptune's orbit for about 20 years of its approximately 250-year-long orbit).Pluto's orbit is "locked" to Neptune's in a 3:2 resonance (i.e. Pluto completes exactly 2 orbits for every 3 of Neptune's).Neptune's largest moon, Triton, is somewhat larger than Pluto, and may at one time have been a KBO like Pluto itself.
What is unusual the orbit of Pluto?
Pluto has such an unusual orbit, because it goes in a flat oval.
Which has the longest orbit?
the longest orbit is pluto
What planet does Pluto orbit?
Pluto doesn't orbit any planets, it orbits the sun. But if you mean what planet does Pluto share a orbit with is Neptune. Pluto sometimes is closer to the sun than Neptune because it cuts into Neptune's orbit.
Does Pluto orbit earth?
No. Pluto orbits the sun.
