Which body in the solar system has an orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of neptune?
pluto
When you say that a planet has a highly eccentric orbit you means that?
The orbit of a planet is highly eccentric when it is more elongated rather than circular. This means the planet's distance from the sun varies significantly throughout its orbit, resulting in periods of being closer and then farther away from the sun.
What is the planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
The planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto is Neptune. Neptune, the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun in the Solar System, has an orbit that crosses Pluto's orbit due to its elliptical path around the Sun. This orbital relationship between Neptune and Pluto is one of the factors that led to Pluto's reclassification as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union.
What planets orbit is so eccentric?
The planet with the most eccentric orbit in our solar system is Mercury. Its orbit is elongated, varying the distance from the Sun significantly. This eccentricity causes it to experience extreme temperature differences between its closest and farthest points from the Sun.
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits among the planets in our solar system. Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric, while Pluto's orbit is also highly elliptical due to its distance from the Sun and its eccentric orbit.
Which planet in the solar system has an orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
Mercury has the most eccentric orbit in our solar system, and it occasionally crosses the orbit of Venus. Its elliptical path also brings it close to the Sun, resulting in extreme temperature variations on the planet's surface.
What different about Pluto's orbit that the orbit in our other planet's solar system?
its orbit crosses with another plant
Which body in the solar system has an orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of neptune?
pluto
What planet has an orbit that crosses Pluto?
The planet Neptune.
How can you use eccentric in a sentence?
The eccentric old man washed his hands with pea soup. Pluto's orbit is much more eccentric than the orbit of any major planet.
Which Planet has the least eccentric orbit?
The least eccentric orbit is Venus The most eccentric orbit is Pluto (aside from Pluto, Mercury)
What planet's orbit crosses with Pluto and is it times with Pluto?
Neptunes
Why should Pluto not be named a planet?
Pluto is not considered a planet because if you look at the other planets it is smaller. It is also as big as a regular sized comet or asteroid. Scientists think that it was a comet that happened to get into the sun's orbit. Most important was its eccentric orbit ... the (other) 8 planets have almost circular orbits, all of which are in approximately the same plane. Besides, it dips inside Neptune's orbit ... no self-respecting planet crosses orbit with another. Lastly, it seems to have lots of company as a Kipper belt object.
What happens to the shape of planet's orbit as its eccentricity increases?
The orbit becomes more eccentric until the orbit becomes almost a strait line.
When you say that a planet has a highly eccentric orbit you means that?
The orbit of a planet is highly eccentric when it is more elongated rather than circular. This means the planet's distance from the sun varies significantly throughout its orbit, resulting in periods of being closer and then farther away from the sun.
What planet's orbit crosses with Pluto and is at times behind Pluto?
Neptune's
Which objects orbit is even more eccentric than the orbit of mercury?
The dwarf planet Pluto has a more eccentric orbit than Mercury. Pluto's orbit is highly elongated, meaning it is more eccentric, with a high eccentricity of about 0.24 compared to Mercury's eccentricity of 0.21.
