While Pluto is the next planet-sized object past Neptune, its elliptical orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune for up to 20 years of its 248 Earth-year trip around the Sun. Also, because the gravitation of the outer planets interact, Pluto makes almost exactly 2 orbits for every 3 made by Neptune. Pluto's orbit is also sharply inclined to the plane of most other planetary orbits. These factors combine and result in Pluto getting closer to Uranus (11 AU) than it ever gets to Neptune (17 AU).
