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?
in some parts of its orbit it is much closer to the Sun than in other parts.
What is the planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
The planet Neptune crosses the orbit of Pluto in an elliptic orbit
What is the comparison between Mercury's and Venus' orbits?
Mercury's orbit is moderately eccentric, at 0.2056, while Venus's orbit is the least eccentric of any planet in the solar system, at 0.0067. Mercury's inclination is at 7º, while Venus's is at 3.39º.
Why did neptune become the farthest planet from 1979 to 1999?
Plutos orbit is highly eccentric - during one rotation of the sun its distance from the sun can vary considerably. For 20 years of each of its orbit - a small fraction, it is closer to the sun than Neptune, which has much more of a regular orbit. Neptune is now the furthest planet again as of 2006. This time its for another reason - Pluto is no longer classed as a planet, but is instead a Dwarf Planet.
Which planet in the solar system has an orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
pluto
Which Planet has the least eccentric orbit?
The least eccentric orbit is Venus The most eccentric orbit is Pluto (aside from Pluto, Mercury)
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.
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.
What planet's orbit crosses with Pluto and is at times behind Pluto?
Neptune's

When you say that a planet has a highly eccentric orbit you mean that?
It deviates from a perfect circle by a considerable amount.
