According to the astronauts, there is a very small chance that at one time Pluto will ever come close to Neptune. This assertion has been discussed in many forums bearing in mind that their orbit intersects. Gravitational resonance is the condition that prevents Pluto and Neptune from colliding.

∙ 12y agoAs far as i know it depends on the current position of their orbits relative to each other and earth there are periods during Pluto's orbit of the sun; which more eliptical than neptune, where it is actually closer than neptune, even though it is considered the last planet. So you will have to look at there current positions, however, i think Pluto is currently the further of the two at present.

∙ 8y agoThe orbits of Uranus and Neptune are next to each other. This means that when they are on the same side of the sun, Uranus is closest to Neptune but it also means that when they are on opposite sides of the sun, Uranus is furthest from Neptune.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo, even though their orbits appear to cross, they will not crash into each other. This is because Neptune and Pluto are basically synchronized, with Neptune controlling Pluto's orbit.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoit's not close to Pluto, but neptune is the closest TO Pluto
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo. Neptune and Pluto are two very different objects.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. Their orbits are gravitationally connected. Astronomers call this
"orbital resonance". Neptune goes round the Sun 3 times for every
2 orbits completed by Pluto.

Is Uranus Bigger than Neptune?
The Radius from the Center of Neptune is 24,622 km, (15,299 mi) while it is 25,362 km, (15,759 mi) for Uranus. So Uranus is bigger than Neptune, but Neptune has a greater mass. In other words Neptune is smaller but denser. Neptune has a radius of 3.88 Earth radii while Neptune has a radius of 4.01 Earth radii. In terms of mass, Neptune is 17.15 Earth masses while Uranus has 14.536 Earth masses.
