Does a planets mass affect how far away from the sun it orbits?
No it does not have any effect on the planet. For Example: Pluto is very far away from the sun. It doesn't have that much mass.
How far is Pluto from Neptune in miles?
This distance varies every day as Saturn and Pluto take up different positions in their respective orbits.
Is Pluto the only dwarf planet that orbits the Sun?
As far as we can actually PROVE, it is the only dwarf planet that orbits our own Sun. However, there has long been some speculation that there may be another dwarf planet out beyond Pluto, that is even smaller, but which is too far away from the Sun to be seen with optical instruments. It has also been debated that some large meteorites that orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planets, should maybe be declared as being dwarf planets in their own right.
How far is Pluto from its moon?
Pluto has five moons. Its largest and closest moon, Charon, orbits about 18,000 kilometers above the surface of Pluto.
Which neighbor planets are the farthest from each other?
Neptune and Jupiter are both really far from Pluto Pluto is sometimes in the other galaxy because that's where its rotation goes to! :D
What planets is the kuiper belt located between?
The Kuiper belt is not between any planets. It is far beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto.
Why don't planets collide when orbiting around the Sun?
They did, early in the formation of the solar system. But the planets still around today have established stable orbits far from each other. None of the major planets have orbits that intersect, but Pluto and some other small planetoids exist in "harmonic resonance" with the orbit of Neptune, the outermost major planet. And some asteroids that cross the orbits of Earth and other planets have likewise attained orbits that seldom if ever bring them close enough for a collision.

How are inner planets alike?
No, it is a dwarf planet. Uh.....the question was about Pluto's position in the solar system, not Pluto's size. Pluto was thought to be the ninth planet when discovered in the 1930's, but we now know that Pluto is not a planet. When it was still considered a planet, it was one of the outer planets, about as far as you can get. Mercury, Venus, Terra (earth), and Mars are the inner planets; those with orbits between the Belt and Sol (the asteroid belt and the sun).
How far is Pluto from Neptune in miles?
This distance varies every day as Saturn and Pluto take up different positions in their respective orbits.
How small is Pluto from the other planets?
The planet Pluto is the most outer planet in the solar system , so it is very ,very far indeed.

Do Pluto have volcanoes on the planets?
As far as we know, Pluto does not have any volcanic or geyser activity.

Pluto has five moons. Its largest and closest moon, Charon, orbits about 18,000 kilometers above the surface of Pluto.
What is all the excitement about planet x?
Generally, Planet X is an undiscovered planet in our solar system. Pluto was "Planet X" until it's discovery in 1930. Scientists postulate the existence of a Planet X by noting irregularities in the orbits of other planets. Now, Pluto and anything past it discovered so far are known as dwarf planets. There maybe another planet somewhere past Pluto, but I believe Planet X now refers to extra-solar planets.
Which neighbor planets are the farthest from each other?
Neptune and Jupiter are both really far from Pluto Pluto is sometimes in the other galaxy because that's where its rotation goes to! :D
Why did Pluto get pushed so far away?
It is not clear that Pluto has been pushed anywhere, it is a large Kuiper belt object with an orbit that is not in the plane of the other the Solar System's planet orbits which indicates it is orbiting where it always did. It is Uranus and Neptune that have moved out in their orbits.
