This varies substantially as each planet makes its orbit around the sun. At aphelion Uranus is 3 billion km from the sun, while at perihelion Pluto is actually closer to the sun than Uranus. The planetary orbits do not intersect--Pluto is inclined to the plane of the solar ecliptic. At closest approach they might be as little as a few million km.
At aphelion Pluto's elliptical orbit takes it 7.37 billion miles out from the sun. If this happens to be on the opposite side of the sun from Uranus when it too is near aphelion--which might occur every few million years, the distance between them would be maximized to 7+3 = 10 billion km, plus a little for Pluto's angle above the solar plane.

How many surface does mars have?

What planet's diameter is eight times smaller than Uranus?
Here are all diameters of the planets. Pluto is no planet anymore. Mercury 4,880 km Venus 12,104 km Earth 12,756 km Mars 6,794 km Jupiter 142,984 km Saturn 120,536 km Uranus 51,118 km Neptune 49,532 km Look for yourself. 51118 km / 8 = 6,389 km - that is close to Mars.

What is Pluto's distance from Earth?
Pluto is a minor planet (it is no longer considered one of the standard planets orbiting our sun) has a very eccentric orbit. Its distance from earth (and the sun) varies more than that of any of the planets. For a period of roungly 15 years it is within the orbit of Uranus, and for hundreds of years, its orbit is beyond that of Uranus. At their closest, Pluto and Earth would be separated by 4.2 billion km. At their most distant, Earth and Pluto would be separated by 7.5 billion km. (see the related link)
Why is Pluto not one of Uranus moons?
Before many people thought it was but Uranus' moons titan and supposedly Pluto bumped into each other and Pluto found another orbit around the sun and stayed there.
