Pluto never crosses Jupiter's orbit because it is much further away than Jupiter and has a far large orbit. A major change in Pluto's orbit would have to occur for its orbit to cross Jupiter's. If it did, there would be a tiny chance of a collision, but the chance would be very small.

Which planet orbits crosses Pluto's every 248 years?

Pluto's orbit is 248 years. Pluto has an elliptical orbit that takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune, for 20 years, out of its 248 year orbit of the Sun. So every 228 years, Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune's orbit. This last happened between 1979 and 1999.

Does Pluto overlap Neptune?

Actually, yes it does. Pluto, because of its lopsided orbit, crosses paths and goes in front of Neptune once every 288 years. It probably is once every 288 years because Pluto orbits the Sun once after 248 years.

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 is Neptune's place in orbit in relation to the other planets?

Neptune's place in orbit is relatively after Uranus's orbit. It being the eighth and final planet in our solar system (Pluto is not a planet), Neptune crosses with Pluto in the orbit making it the ninth planet until Pluto was kicked out.


Is the dwarf planet Pluto always the in the 9th position from the from the sun?

No. Pluto crosses orbit with Neptune. So... it is not always the farthest from the sun.


Is Pluto sometimes closer to the Sun than Neptune?

Yes, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune for a ~20 year period every 228 years. The last time it was closer to the Sun than Neptune was 1979. This happens because Pluto has an eccentric orbit that is also highly inclined, Pluto's size\mass is not directly involved in this process in any way.
