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 must a planet have which a dwarf planet doesn't?

A planet: 1) Orbits the Sun or some other star 2) Gravity has to shape it into a sphere & 3) Have an orbit that does NOT link up to another planet's orbit A dwarf planet is classified if it does not have one of these 3 things. Reason 3 (like most other dwarf planets in our Solar System) is what makes Pluto a dwarf planet (since some of it's orbit links up to Neptune's orbit)
