Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years. Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years.
Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun. Neptune is the 8th planet from the sun. Therefore Uranus is closer to Earth than Neptune.
...the sun. By a lot.
Pluto
Currently Neptune is closer to the sun, however Pluto can get closer when it's at the closest part of its orbit. Pluto was closer then Neptune about 10 years ago, but it currently heading out to the farther part of its orbit, and con't be closer than Neptune again for over 200 years.
Yes, Neptune is bigger than Pluto. Yes, Neptune is bigger than Pluto because Pluto is the smallest planet in the solar system and is smaller than Earth and Neptune is bigger than Earth.
because its orbit was highly eccentric and used to intercede the orbit of Neptune. that is why Pluto is no more a part of our solar system as it collided with Neptune and exploded.
No the Erth is closer. The order is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. That is how i remember which is closer to the sun
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.
Yes ofcourse as Pluto is well far away
for a 20 earth year period. when Pluto gets closer to the sun than Neptune every 248 earth years.
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.
The farthest planet from Earth is Neptune, and it doesn't change. It's always the farthest planet from Earth. Note: Pluto is sometimes closer to the Earth than Neptune, but Pluto is not a planet.
Planet furthest from earth? Neptune, since Pluto is no longer considered a planet.But, if you do consider Pluto a planet, then normally, the furthest planet from Earth is Pluto, but sometimes it is Neptune. (Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune's).
Because it is closer to the Earth and it is larger, so it reflects more light.
Currently Neptune is closer to the sun, however Pluto can get closer when it's at the closest part of its orbit. Pluto was closer then Neptune about 10 years ago, but it currently heading out to the farther part of its orbit, and con't be closer than Neptune again for over 200 years.
No. It is Pluto. Pluto sometimes passes the orbit of Neptune to be closer to the Sun.
Yes, Neptune is bigger than Pluto. Yes, Neptune is bigger than Pluto because Pluto is the smallest planet in the solar system and is smaller than Earth and Neptune is bigger than Earth.
In about 2227 A.D., their orbits will cross and Pluto will be closer to the sun for 20 years. Then, the orbits will cross again and Neptune will be closer for 228 years.
