What planet's orbit extends beyond plutos orbit?
Neptune's, at times.
Until 1999 which planet was the farthest?
it used to vary between neptune and Pluto due to plutos unusual orbit. but since Pluto was declared not a planet. it is neptune.
What planet was discovered beyond the orbit Saturn in 1781?
Uranus is the planet that was discovered beyond the orbit of Saturn. It was discovered on March 13, 1781 by William Herschel.
What is sedna and how can be the scientist prove that sedna is a new planet or just the moon of Pluto?
Sedna is a dwarf planet. It is to far away to be one of plutos moons and is proved to orbit the sun
Who discovered plutos orbit?
John Tombaugh
What planet was discovered beyond the orbit of Saturn in 1781?
Uranus
Occasionally Plutos' orbit will remain inside Neptunes' orbit for a period of about how many years?
20 years
Do all dwarf planets lie far beyond the orbit of Neptune?
No. Ceres is a dwarf planet and orbits inside the orbit of Jupiter.
Why did neptune become the farthest planet from 1979 to 1999?
Plutos orbit is highly eccentric - during one rotation of the sun its distance from the sun can vary considerably. For 20 years of each of its orbit - a small fraction, it is closer to the sun than Neptune, which has much more of a regular orbit. Neptune is now the furthest planet again as of 2006. This time its for another reason - Pluto is no longer classed as a planet, but is instead a Dwarf Planet.
Why does Pluto take so long to orbit the Sun?
Plutos Orbits length is unusually longer than other planets orbits.But its width is shorter than Neptunes orbit. So at one point in Plutos orbit it is closer to the sun than Neptune. Its estimated time to orbit is around 250 years
What is unique about Plutos orbit around the sun?
All of the 8 planets that orbit the Sun are in the same general plane. That is that they are all flat. Pluto's orbit is not flat like the rest of the planets. It is like it got caught while passing by. Some think that it is a burned out comet. It is a dwarf planet, no longer considered to be a real planet.
What planet is the outer most planet for twenty years?
For 20 years of its 246 year orbit, Dwarf planet Pluto is closer to the sun than Neptune. So Neptune is futher out for a while. Since Plutos de-classification to a Dwarf planet though, Neptune now remains the furthest planet at all times.
