For 20 years, from1979 to 1999, Neptune was actually farther from the sun than Pluto.

Pluto's orbit remains inside Neptune's orbit for about 20 years out of its 248-year orbital period. This phenomenon occurs due to the unique orbital characteristics of Pluto and Neptune.
Pluto's unusual orbit causes it to travel inside Neptune's orbit.
Pluto's orbit passes inside the orbit of Neptune.
Pluto's orbit sometimes carries inside the orbit of Neptune. One time, Pluto was stuck in Neptune's orbit for around 20 years.
Pluto was one of the nine recognised planets back then, yet for a time it was the 8th furthest planet, since is comes inside Neptunes orbit for 20 years each orbit.
Well for pluto to be considored a planet it would need to… …straighten out its orbit because it intersects with Neptunes orbit …Become bigger …Be closer to the sun …Dominate its moon
The orbits of Pluto and Neptune cross, so sometimes Pluto is inside Neptune's orbit.
It is not in the plane of the ecliptic and is sometimes inside the orbit of Neptune
neptunes orbit time of the sun is 164.79 years to orbit the sun neptunes orbit time of the sun is 164.79 years to orbit the sun
Pluto does this, but it's only classed as a "dwarf planet" now.
