Yes but keep in mind Pluto is NOT a official planet in the solar system. Neptune was discovered in 1846 and Pluto was discovered in 1930. Pluto is in the solar system, but it is not a major planet, it's called a dwarf planet. A planet which is in the solar system, but not a satellite. So Neptune is the farthest major planet from the sun. It takes 164.79 years for Neptune to orbit the sun lol.
What else can I help you with?
Is Neptune bigger than Pluto?
Yes, Neptune is larger than Pluto. Neptune is the fourth-largest planet in our solar system by diameter, while Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet and is much smaller in size compared to the eight recognized planets.
How many moons does Neptune have than Pluto?
I do not understand your question, but I can tell you that Neptune has 13 moons and Pluto has 3.
Is Pluto the coldest planet even though its a dwarf planet?
Although Pluto is colder than Neptune (our coldest planet), Eris is both larger and colder than Pluto. Eris is quite a bit further from our sun than Pluto, whereas Pluto is sometimes closer than Neptune. Even when Pluto is closer to the sun, it still doesn't get warmer than Neptune, as Neptune possesses a small amount of internally generated heat.
Is Pluto currently nearer to earth than Neptune?
No, currently Pluto is farther. Pluto crossed the orbit of Neptune in 1999, and is heading farther from the Sun and the Earth. It will be over 200 years before Pluto returns closer to us than Neptune.
Is Pluto colder than neptune?
Yes, Pluto is colder than Neptune. Despite being farther from the Sun, Pluto's thin atmosphere and small size make it much colder than Neptune's atmosphere, which traps heat and keeps the planet warmer.
Which planet lies between Pluto and Uranus?
Neptune is the planet that typically lies between Pluto and Uranus. However, during some parts of it's orbit, Pluto will be closer to the sun than Neptune is (i.e. Neptune is no longer between Uranus and Pluto; instead, Pluto is between Uranus and Neptune).In fact, as of February 11th, 1999, Pluto passed Neptune, thereby making Neptune the furthest planet from the Sun. Neptune will continue to be the further than Pluto until April 5th, 2231.
When Pluto was considered a planet why was neptune the farthest planet from the sun from 1979 to 1999?
Neptune's orbit is more elliptical than Pluto's, causing their orbits to sometimes intersect. From 1979 to 1999, Neptune's elliptical orbit brought it closer to the sun than Pluto, making Neptune the farthest planet from the sun during that time.
When was Pluto inside of Neptune's orbit?
For 20 years, from1979 to 1999, Neptune was actually farther from the sun than Pluto.
Why isn't Pluto as light as Neptune?
Pluto has far less mass than Neptune, making it much lighter in weight.
How many times smaller is Pluto than Neptune?
About a factor of 21.5. One of Neptune's moons, Triton, is about 20% larger than Pluto.
Why was Pluto closer to the sun then Neptune?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than Neptune's and at times it can come closer to the sun than Neptune. However, overall, Neptune is much closer to the sun in its average distance from the sun compared to Pluto.
What date is neptune farther from sun than Pluto?
Neptune is farther from the Sun than Pluto all the time. On average, Neptune is about 4.5 billion kilometers from the Sun, while Pluto is about 5.9 billion kilometers away. Neptune's average distance from the Sun places it beyond Pluto at all times during their orbits.
