Does Earth cross Neptune's orbit

No, all eight of the planets have orbits that are fairly close to circular, so none of their orbits intersect. However, Dwarf Planet Pluto has an orbit that is so elliptical that sometimes it is closer to the sun than Neptune.

Does any planet cross the earth's orbit?

There are no planets that cross the earth's orbit. Pluto (dwarf, or minor planet) and Neptune are the only planets whose orbits cross. However there are over 100 asteroids (minor planets) that cross the earth's orbit.


Is neptunes orbit more circular than earths orbit?

No, Neptune's orbit is actually more eccentric (less circular) than Earth's orbit. Neptune's orbit is more elongated, with a greater difference between its closest and farthest points from the Sun compared to Earth's orbit.

What are the group of asteroids that may occasionally cross earth?

Asteroids that occasionally cross the orbit of Earth are known as Near Earth Asteroids. Asteroids that both cross the orbit of the Earth and are large enough to pose a significant threat in the event of an impact are known as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids.


What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?

Main Belt asteroids -- a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth.Amor asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term.Apollo asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term.Aten asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term.
