What planet orbits Pluto?
Pluto has three known moons, the largest is called Charon.
What an object that orbits a sun but does not make its own light?
Pluto (if you still consider it as a planet),
Is Pluto Planet X?
No. Planet X was a proposed planet believed to orbit somewhere beyond Neptune based on an anomaly in the orbit of Uranus believed to be caused by the gravity of an unknown planet. Searches for planet X led to the discovery of Pluto, but later studies found that Pluto is not nearly massive enough to have caused the anomaly. It was later discovered that the apparent anomaly was due to a small miscalculation in the mass of Neptune.
Is Pluto A Outer Planet Or Inner Planet?
The terms "outer planet" and "inner planet" are only used for planets. Pluto is not a planet, and it orbits beyond the outer planets.
What is a gas giant planet that sometimes orbits beyond Pluto?
Neptune, the furthest planet from the sun. Sometimes the dwarf planet Pluto comes inside its orbit.
Even though orbits are ellipes what shape is a typical planet's orbits most like?
Planetry orbits are elliptical. Most planet's orbits are nearly circular apart from Mercury and Pluto.
What planet orbits Pluto?
Pluto has three known moons, the largest is called Charon.
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.
Is Pluto a draft planet or a planet?
Pluto is a dwarf planet and trans-neptunian object. Crossing orbits with Neptune stops Pluto being a planet.
Does Pluto the planet orbit around a star?
Pluto, which is a planetesimal, not a planet, orbits the star called Sol. Sol gives its name to our Sol-ar system, and is often called, "The Sun."
What an object that orbits a sun but does not make its own light?
Pluto (if you still consider it as a planet),
Why did Pluto go from being a planet to a moon?
Pluto isn't a moon, it orbits the sun, but it is a dwarf planet
Is Pluto Planet X?
No. Planet X was a proposed planet believed to orbit somewhere beyond Neptune based on an anomaly in the orbit of Uranus believed to be caused by the gravity of an unknown planet. Searches for planet X led to the discovery of Pluto, but later studies found that Pluto is not nearly massive enough to have caused the anomaly.

Neptune, the furthest planet from the sun. Sometimes the dwarf planet Pluto comes inside its orbit.
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 planet does Pluto cause to be ninth when it orbits?
Back when Pluto was a planet and not a dwarf planet, it sometimes Neptune to be the ninth planet because their orbit crossed. Now that Pluto is a dwarf planet, there are only eight planets in the solar system.
