Does Neptune orbit around Uranus?
No, Neptune orbits around the Sun.
Do Neptune and Uranus cross paths?
Neptune's orbit and Uranus' orbit are never meeting, but Pluto and Neptune do have their orbits cross. :)
Which of these planet's orbits is farthest from Earth's orbit Mars Jupiter Uranus Neptune?
Neptune
Is Neptune's orbit unusual?
The orbits of Neptune and Pluto appear to cross each other. However, because of their alignment, they can never collide or even approach close to each other.Pluto orbits in a very long elliptical shape. Its orbit sometimes passes within that of Neptune. Then, for about 20 years, it becomes closer to the sun than Neptune.
What is the planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
The planet Neptune crosses the orbit of Pluto in an elliptic orbit
What is a minor body that orbits the orbit of Neptune?
pluto
What is a minor body that orbits the orbit or neptune?
An object that orbits Neptune would be called a MOON of Neptune, if it is large enough.
What is a minor body that obits outside the orbit of Neptune?

Does any planet cross the earth's orbit?
There are no planets that cross the earth's orbit. Pluto (dwarf, or minor planet) and Neptune are the only planets whose orbits cross. However there are over 100 asteroids (minor planets) that cross the earth's orbit.
Which of these planet's orbits is farthest from Earth's orbit Mars Jupiter Uranus Neptune?
Neptune
What 2 places can Pluto be in?
Since Pluto has a highly elliptical orbit, it can be between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, or it can be beyond the orbit of Neptune.
How miles is the orbit of Neptune?
Neptune orbits the sun at around 4.5 million kilometers. Neptune follows an elliptical orbit around the sun so its orbital distance varies.

Is a Cis-Neptunian object an object that orbits between the Sun and Neptune?
Yes. The prefix "cis" stands for "within" and "trans" means "outside". So, "cis-Neptunian" means "inside Neptune's orbit".
When does Neptune orbit the Sun fastest?
Neptune orbits the Sun (as do most planets) with an elliptical orbit. When the orbit takes the planet closest to the Sun it is moving faster than when it is furthest from the Sun when on an elliptical orbit.
