Yes, sort of. They basically orbit their common center of mass. The same applies to Earth and Moon; Sun and Jupiter; etc.; two such objects generally have the tendency to orbit their center of mass.

What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?
Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.
Which is the artificial satellite of Pluto?
Pluto has no artificial satellites. We have never placed any satellites in orbit around Pluto, other than the New Horizons spacecraft, which was sent to do a flyby observation of Pluto for a short time, and then move on to Kuiper belt object (486958) 2014 MU69.
The nearest distance from Pluto to Earth is?
At its closest, Pluto is around 4,436,824,613 km from the sun. Taking off the earth to sun distance of 150 million km, the closest that Pluto will get to earth is around 4,286,800,000km
Describe Pluto's size as compared to the other planets.?
Pluto is about half the size of Mercury, which is the smallest "true" planet.
Pluto's orbit around the Sun is very different than those of other planets. How is it different?
The minor planet Pluto has an orbit which is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic. It is also a highly eccentric ellipse, causing it sometimes to pass inside the orbit of Neptune.
How long does it take for Pluto's moon to circle Pluto?
It takes Pluto's moon 6.39 days to circle Pluto.
Is Pluto circle?

Does Pluto orbit the sun?
Pluto, and all of the planets orbit the sun. Not the other way around.

What is Pluto' s orbit shape?
Pluto orbits just like any of the other planets its just a dwarf planet.
What are the number of satellite of planet Pluto?
Yes, there is a satellite that orbits around Pluto its name is Charon. Charon is half the size of Pluto, with a diameter of 1200km. Pluto and Charon orbit each other like double planets.
What two planets revolve around the sun other than Pluto?
All planets revolve around the Sun.
Why is Pluto not one of Uranus moons?

How many times does the planet Pluto circle the sun in a year?
It takes 247.92 earth years for Pluto to orbit the sun once.
How does Charon's orbit around Pluto different from the orbits of most moons around their planets?
Charon orbits once every time Pluto rotates once. Other moons(including ours)don't do that.
