None actually "trade orbits", although there are times when the highly elliptical orbit of Pluto brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. At other times, it is farther away. Recently, Pluto has been demoted from the status of "planet". Copy and paste link for more information. http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/pluto/pluto_orbit.html

Which two planets overlap?
The two planets with overlapping orbits are Neptune and Pluto. These are the only two planets that have overlapping 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 are the four planets that have orbits from most to least?
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
What two factors cause planets to move in elliptical orbits?
The elliptical orbit of planets is a result of the gravitation of the sun and the tangential velocity of the planet.
Who introduced elliptical orbits?
It was Kepler who discovered that the planets orbits are elliptical.
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 planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.
Which two planets have asteroids between their orbits?
Mars and Jupiter.
Which two planets orbits does the asteroid belt occurs?
Technically speaking, the asteroid belt doesn't "run through" any planets but between two planets. As such, the asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Which two planets have the shortest orbits around the sun?
Mercury and venus.
What two planets has the most circular orbits?
Pluto and Abby University
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).
Newton learned that the orbits of planets are the result of what two forces?
Gravity and inertia.
How many planets have their orbits between the earth and the sun?
Two. Mercury and Venus
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.
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.
