Pluto's orbit around the Sun is very different than those of other planets. How is it different?

The minor planet Pluto has an orbit which is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic. It is also a highly eccentric ellipse, causing it sometimes to pass inside the orbit of Neptune.

List of planets in order that orbit the moon?
No planets are in orbit around the moon
Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
Any moon is held in orbit by gravity, just as the planets are held in orbit around the sun by gravity.
What planet do all the planets evolve around?
I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
What are examples of an orbit?
the planets orbit, or go around the sun, electrons orbit or go around the nucleus of and atom
How is the moon different from a planet?
the moons orbit the planet but the planets orbit the sunMoons revolve round planets. Planets revolve round suns.___________AlternateThe truth is that planets orbit round their moons, or more precisely a planet and its moon(s) orbit around their barycenter, the center of gravity of the planet-moon system. This is true for the earth, but this orbital motion of earth is less noticeable than the orbital motion of the smaller moon. I think the real difference between planets and their moons is relative size.
What planets orbit interacts with plutos orbit?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than the major planets' orbits, and every time it goes round it spends some years inside Neptune's orbit.
How is a moon different to a planet?
Planets are in direct orbit around the sun, while moons are in orbit around the planets.
What planets lie between Mars in Pluto?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Because of the eccentricity of Plutos orbit it is sometime inside the orbit of Neptune.
When do planets orbit a star?
When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.

How is moon different than a planet?
The moon orbits the planet Earth rather than the sun, so it is considered a moon.
How many steps did the eight planets take to finished around the orbit?
Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets
How many planets orbit around Mars?
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
How many planets are in orbit around Rush Limbaugh?
No planets orbit around Rush Limbaugh.
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
