Astronomers had noticed unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus: the only explanation was another planet. Detailed study of the orbit of Uranus led to estimates about the size and location of Neptune.

How many planets did ptolemy discover?

What planet is called the outermost planet?

With Pluto now regarded as a dwarf planet, the answer is Neptune. There are times when Pluto's orbit takes it inside Neptune for about 20 years at a time out of its 248 year orbit, as it did from 1979 to 1999. So even when Pluto was considered a planet, it wasn't always the furthest away from the Sun.


What do astronomers now believe about Pluto's affecting Uranus' and Pluto's orbit?

thank me later-They believe it doesn't, because it doesn't to any measurable extent.The reverse is not true: Neptune has a very, very strong effect on Pluto's orbit. In fact, Pluto completes almost exactly three orbits for every two of Neptune's, and this is not a coincidence; such stable resonances are common.
