What planet was farthest away from the Sun?
Within our Solar System, Pluto was until it was dubbed a dwarf planet. The current farthest planet is Neptune. Since Pluto has an orbit so eccentric that it is sometimes inside the orbit of Neptune, the identity of the "outermost planet" was previously time-dependent.
What is the Seventh planet in the solar system?
Uranus. The seventh planet in our solar system is Uranus.
Which Planet has the most eccentric orbit?
Mercury's orbit has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets. It used to be Pluto, but Pluto is now a dwarf planet. Also if you were wondering Mars has the 2nd highest eccentricity.
Which planet is a dwarf planet?
Yes, except that planets are not determined 'directly' by mass or size. But the actual requirement that a planet "clears its orbital neighborhood of other objects" (IAU, 2006) is necessarily a result of a singularly massive body.
What planet is hottest in our system?
The planet Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System

What different about Pluto's orbit that the orbit in our other planet's solar system?
its orbit crosses with another plant
What is the shape of path of mercury planet around the sun?
Mercury has an elliptical orbit, it is also one of the most eccentric orbits of our solar system.
What is the comparison between Mercury's and Venus' orbits?
Mercury's orbit is moderately eccentric, at 0.2056, while Venus's orbit is the least eccentric of any planet in the solar system, at 0.0067. Mercury's inclination is at 7º, while Venus's is at 3.39º.
What are the two main differences between extrasolar planetary systems discovered to date and your Solar System?
extrasolar planet orbits tend to be closer and more eccentric than in our Solar System

What planets orbit is so eccentric?
All the planets in the solar system have very low eccentric orbits.

What members of the solar system have very eccentric orbits?
Comets. Periodic comets have highly eccentric elliptical orbits, with eccentricities.
