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.

∙ 12y agoWhile the typical orbit of a planet around the Sun is in a circle, the orbit of Pluto has it crossing the orbit of Neptune, so sometimes Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune, but, most of the time, it's farther from the Sun than Neptune.

∙ 11y agoPluto's orbit is significant because compared to earth a year on pluto takes 90 000 earth days. Between plutos discovery and its denial as a planet is still had not made one full orbit around the sun.

∙ 11y agoIt is not on the same plane as the other planets. Its orbit brings it inside the orbit of Neptune for part of its year.

∙ 11y agoIts highly eccentric, meaning it is far from being circular and is not on the planetary plane. Its orbit also brings it inside a planets orbit for a certain time.

What keeps earth in its orbit?
The sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in orbit around it.
Which movement represents a day when the earth moves around the sun?
The Earth's spin, or rotation on its axis gives us a day.
What is the name of the path of where all planets move around the Sun?
The path where a planet moves around the sun is called an orbit.
How long does it take Mercury to orbit the Earth?
Mercury takes 88 earth days to orbit the sun. 88 days, is a little less than 3 Earthmonths to orbit the Sun once.it takes 87 earth day to complete a year or one time around the sun
What is the Paths around the Nucleus called?
Electrons are said to occupy orbitals, around the atomic nucleus. They do not actually orbit in the manner that planets orbit the sun; they spread themselves out, as an electron cloud, and surround the nucleus rather than moving in an orbit.
What is Plutos orbital year?
It takes Pluto 248 years to orbit around the sun... 248 earth years.
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
Whats plutos distance from the sun?
Pluto's jouney around the sun takes about 248.4 earth yaers
What is the planet is considered as unique because of its tilts toward the Sun?
Uranus. It has an axis that often points almost straight at the Sun, during its orbit around the Sun.
Why do you orbit around the sun?
We orbit around the sun due to its gravitational pull.
How long is Plutos' year?
It takes about 248 Earth years for Pluto to orbit the sun.
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
The moon does orbit the Sun. Locked in orbit around the Earth, as the Earth orbits the Sun, the moon orbits the Sun.
Does earth move around the sun in an orbit or an eliptical orbit?
The earth moves around the sun in a elliptical orbit.
Is earths orbit around the sun unusual?
Earths orbit around the sun is not unusual.
What is plutos orbital information?
pluto orbits around the sun faster than any planet
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Comets orbit the Sun.
Why do the solar system orbit around the sun?
The orbit the Sun because they are attracted by the Sun.
