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.
If Pluto has not cleared its neighborhood of objects in its orbit then neither has Neptune since Pluto crosses its orbit Why is Neptune not excluded from the list of planets?
It crosses another planet's orbital path. Since Pluto is not a planet, it does not matter. Comets always pass other planets' orbital paths. They are still called planets. Countless asteriods and comets orbits the sun and crosses every planets orbital path. Pluto is somewhat a part of them.There is something circular about the logic in the above answer; see discussion.Probably a stronger answer is the fact that even though a section of the orbit of Pluto comes within the orbit of Neptune, the harmonic relationship between the two bodies is such that they can never collide, barring some catastrophic event that alters one or both orbits. Neptune and Pluto are locked in this harmonic relationship where for every three orbits of Neptune there is exactly two orbits of Pluto. So Pluto cannot be seen as an object that Neptune must clear. Pluto is more like an unusual moon of Neptune.
Which planet takes longer to orbit the sun- Mars Or Neptune?
Neptune takes longer to orbit the sun than Mars. Neptune's orbital period is about 165 Earth years, while Mars' orbital period is about 1.88 Earth years.
Orbital inclination of Neptune?
The orbital inclination of Neptune is approximately 1.77 degrees relative to the plane of the ecliptic, which is the plane in which Earth orbits the Sun. This means that Neptune's orbit is tilted by around 1.77 degrees compared to the average plane of the solar system.
What two planets that sometimes cross paths are called?
Well technically there aren't any because Pluto is not a planet but Pluto does cross orbital paths with Neptune.
What planet sometimes crosses the orbital path of Neptune.?
Pluto is sometimes closer to the Sun than Neptune.
What planet has an odd orbital property?
Neptune has an odd orbital property. The orbit of Neptune crosses the orbital path of the dwarf planet Pluto, so there are times when Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune.
What planet has an orbit that crosses Pluto?
The planet Neptune.

What planet's orbit crosses with Pluto and is at times behind Pluto?
Neptune's
Why does the farthest planet from the earth sometimes change?
The position of planets in our solar system changes because they all orbit the Sun at varying speeds and distances. As they move along their elliptical orbits, their relative positions with respect to Earth change. This causes the farthest planet (Neptune) to sometimes appear closer to Earth depending on where each planet is in its orbit.
Which Planet crosses over from outside Neptune's orbit to inside Neptune's orbit when it is moving around the sun?
Pluto

Which is the 8 th planet from the Sun?
Neptune is the eighth and furthest planet from the Sun.
What is the average orbital speed of the planet neptune?
5.43 km per second.
Which plant is farthest from earth?
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).
Is Neptune the fartherest planet from the sun?
Yes. Pluto used to be (at least most of the time since, its orbits crosses that of Neptune) but now Pluto is considered a dwarf planet.
