The orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto is quite eccentric, meaning it's more of an oval than a circle. It actually comes "inside" the orbit of Neptune for a part of its orbit. Pluto's orbit is described this way:

  • Aphelion (farthest distance) - 7,375,927,931 km 4,583,189,130 miles (49.30503287 AU)
  • Perihelion (closest distance) - 4,436,824,613 km 2,756,915,000 miles (29.65834067 AU)

Notes:

  • Note the broad differences in the two figures.
  • The average distance is about 5,906,376,272 km or 3,670,052,070 miles (39.48168677 AU).
  • Sunlight takes 4 to 7 hours to reach Pluto, so Pluto ranges 247 to 410 light minutes from the sun.
