<<>> Pluto has a very elliptical orbit and Pluto crosses inside the orbit of Neptune during its travel. However Pluto has a highly inclined orbit as well so there is no likelihood of a collision.

∙ 14y agoNo Planets have orbits that cross. However, due to it's eccentric orbit [See Link], the dwarf planet Pluto does, and "crossed" Neptune's orbit on Feb 11th 1999 and won't "cross" again for another 218 years. Even though they "cross" they will never collide. as they are in resonance orbit, so they will never be in the same place at the same time.

∙ 14y agoTechnically none of the known planets have orbital paths which cross each other. Up until a few years ago, the answer would have been "Neptune and Pluto," but a) they don't really "cross" except in a two-dimensional projection (they could never collide, and in fact Pluto gets closer to Uranus than it ever can to Neptune) and b) we no longer consider Pluto to be a planet.

∙ 12y agoThere are no planets whose orbits cross.
Prior to 2006, when Pluto was still classified a planet, the orbit of Pluto and Neptune crossed each other, but, today, the answer is as stated above.

∙ 15y agoNone of the planets orbit each other. Pluto and Neptune's orbits cross each other, but that does not mean they orbit one another. Besides, Pluto is not a planet.

What shapes are the orbits of many comets?
Most cross orbits of planets which allows it to hit the planets easier. They do not go into a full orbit at all.
Why the planets not colliding each other?
The planets in the solar system are in well-spaced out, stable, roughly circular orbits - they don't come close enough to collide with each other. Asteroids and comets, however, are on more elliptical, unstable orbits that often cross the orbits of the planets, and sometimes planets collide with asteroids and comets.
What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner and outer planets?
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different orbit lengths because of their distance from the sun. Planets closer to the sun have shorter orbits, and planets farther away have longer orbits.
Is it possible for two planets in solar system to collide?
No they do not cross and they do not leave their orbit, which means the state it has been right now will last forever.
What shapes are the orbits of many comets?
Most cross orbits of planets which allows it to hit the planets easier. They do not go into a full orbit at all.
When does Pluto cross?
None of the eight planets has an orbit that crossesanother. Dwarf planets (which include Pluto) and Dwarf Planet candidates do cross orbits of planets and each

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.

The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Which two planet have orbits that at time cross one another making them switch their order from the sun?
No planets fulfill that criteria.
Which two planets overlap?
The two planets with overlapping orbits are Neptune and Pluto. These are the only two planets that have overlapping orbits.
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different orbit lengths because of their distance from the sun. Planets closer to the sun have shorter orbits, and planets farther away have longer orbits.
What force is responible for the orbits of the planets in the solar system?
Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
What are the four planets that have orbits from most to least?
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
