There are many planets further away from Pluto but they do not orbit the sun so they are not part of our solar system. There are also many stars that are further away from Pluto.

When Pluto was considered a planet why was neptune the farthest planet from the sun from 1979 to 1999?

Neptune's orbit is more elliptical than Pluto's, causing their orbits to sometimes intersect. From 1979 to 1999, Neptune's elliptical orbit brought it closer to the sun than Pluto, making Neptune the farthest planet from the sun during that time.


The closest planet to pluto?

neptuneNeptune is the closest to Pluto. Uranus is the second closest planet to Pluto. Saturn is the third closest planet to Pluto. Jupiter is the forth closest planet to Pluto. Mars is the fifth closest planet to Pluto. Earth is the sixth closest planet to Pluto. Venus is the seventh closest planet to Pluto. Mercury is the most furthest away from Pluto. The Sun and the moon are not considered as planets. The planet Pluto is also not considered as a planet.


Which planet is smaller than Pluto?

Pluto is no longer considered a planet, it is now classified as a "Dwarf Planet". As a planet or a dwarf planet, Pluto was the smallest in our solar system. Mercury is now the smallest recognised planet. Pluto's equatorial diameter is 2,274 km. Mercury's equatorial diameter is 4,880 km.


Is Pluto the closest planet to the sun?

The orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto is quite eccentric, meaning it's more of an oval than a circle. It actually comes "inside" the orbit of Neptune for a part of its orbit. Aphelion, its farthest distance is about 7,375,927,931 km or 4,583,189,130 miles away while Perihelion its closest distance is about 4,436,824,613 km or 2,756,915,000 miles away.


What planet is the farthest from the earth?

Neptune is the furthest planet from the Earth.Previously the furthest planet was Pluto, however is it no longer officially classed as a planet.As far as those bodies officially considered planets today, Neptune is farthest from earth. Some of the dwarf planets - Pluto being best known - are farther away.The distance between planets is always changing. Pluto would be the furthest away from us normally, but it is not regarded as a planet now, and in fact it can occasionally be nearer to the sun than Neptune. So the answer is that Neptune is the planet furthest away from us, within our solar system. There are planets in other solar systems and new ones are still being discovered and they are much further from us than Neptune.As far as those bodies officially considered planets today, Neptune is farthest from earth. Some of the dwarf planets - Pluto being best known - are farther away.Pluto is no longer considered a planet so Neptune

Plaents further away from the sun than Uranus?

Neptune and Pluto are the only planets in our solar system that are further away from the sun than Uranus. Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun, while Pluto, although now classified as a dwarf planet, has a highly elliptical orbit that takes it even farther from the sun than Neptune at certain points in its orbit.


Is there a dwarf planet behind Pluto?

Yes, Eris is the largest Plutoid (dwarf planet). It is further out than Pluto, but is larger than Pluto. There are also Haumea and Makemake. There are others as well, but so far these are the only ones named as being a dwarf planet/Plutoid.


Are planet travel the same distance around the sun?

No - each of the planets in our solar system travels a greater distance, the further they are away. For example, Pluto is 1,000 times further away from the sun than Mercury. Pluto (the outer-most planet) takes 246 years to orbit the sun once. Mercury (closest to the sun) takes just 88 days !

Most of the time 136199 Eris if further away from the Sun than 134340 Pluto.
