Why Pluto move more slowly in it's orbit than any other planet?

Because it is farther away. The farther an object is from the sun the less gravity effects it. If Pluto moved faster it would escape the suns gravity and fly off into space, if it moved slower it would get closer and closer to the sun.

Why does Pluto move more slowly in its orbit than any other planet?
because its farthest from the sun
What makes pluto dwarf planet?
Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it does not meet all the requirements to be classified as a full-fledged planet. According to the International Astronomical Union's definition, a planet must orbit the sun, be spherical in shape, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. While Pluto orbits the sun and is spherical, it has not cleared its orbit as it shares its path with other objects in the Kuiper Belt. Therefore, Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet.
Begins near Pluto's orbit?
Pluto's orbit is near the beginning of the Kuiper belt.
When Pluto was a planet why was it not always the farthest planet from the sun?
Pluto's orbital is elliptical. Its farthest planet from sun when it lies on two elliptical end. On the other hand Neptune's orbital is circular and become larger then Pluto's orbit when Pluto come in the middle of two elliptical end. For this reason Pluto is not always farthest planet from sun.
Why isn't Pluto a terrestrial planet or Jovian planet?
Pluto is not considered a planet because it has not cleared other objects out of its orbit. It has a composition much like that of a comet, consisting of various ices, and so is not a terrestrial planet.
Why does Pluto move more slowly in its orbit than any other planet?
because its farthest from the sun
What is Neptune's place in orbit in relation to the other planets?
Neptune's place in orbit is relatively after Uranus's orbit. It being the eighth and final planet in our solar system (Pluto is not a planet), Neptune crosses with Pluto in the orbit making it the ninth planet until Pluto was kicked out.
What different about Pluto's orbit that the orbit in our other planet's solar system?
its orbit crosses with another plant
What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?
Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.
What planet does the moon Charon orbit?
It is undecided whether Charon is Pluto's moon or if it is in a binary planet system with Pluto (which is actually a dwarf planet). But using Pluto's orbit, it takes about 248 Earth years (90,613 days) to orbit the Sun completely.
What makes pluto dwarf planet?
Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it does not meet all the requirements to be classified as a full-fledged planet. According to the International Astronomical Union's definition, a planet must orbit the sun, be spherical in shape, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. While Pluto orbits the sun and is spherical, it has not cleared its orbit as it shares its path with other objects in the Kuiper Belt. Therefore, Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet.
Is Pluto exactly like the other planets?
No. Pluto's not a planet. Its a big piece of rock that does'nt orbit like the other planets.
Why some scientists have classified Pluto as dwarf planet not as normal planet?
They classified it as a dwarf planet because it has not cleared its neighborhood. This refers to the other objects that share space with Pluto while it is moving through the Kuiper Belt. Pluto's orbit is distinct from Neptune's orbit, but because of the eccentricity of Pluto's orbit (the degree to which it resembles an oval) it is sometimes within Neptune's orbit and most of the time far outside of it.
Why is Pluto very different from the other planets?
Pluto is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets. It also has a very irregular orbit.
How come Pluto is not a planet no more?
Pluto is no longer considered a planet (however it is called a dwarf planet) because it failed to meet the International Astronomical Union's definition of a planet:must orbit the sun (check)nearly round in shape (also, check)has cleared its orbit area of other planets (here's where Pluto fails, as Saturn crosses Pluto's orbit every so many years)
