Part of Pluto's orbit is inside the orbit of?
Pluto's unusual orbit causes it to travel inside Neptune's orbit.
What is the planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?
The planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto is Neptune. Neptune, the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun in the Solar System, has an orbit that crosses Pluto's orbit due to its elliptical path around the Sun. This orbital relationship between Neptune and Pluto is one of the factors that led to Pluto's reclassification as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union.
Why was Pluto closer to the sun then Neptune?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than Neptune's and at times it can come closer to the sun than Neptune. However, overall, Neptune is much closer to the sun in its average distance from the sun compared to Pluto.
What do astronomer's now believe about Pluto's affect on Neptune's orbit?
Astronomers now believe that Pluto's effect on Neptune's orbit is negligible and has no significant impact. Despite initial speculation, further studies have shown that Pluto's mass is too small to have a measurable effect on Neptune's orbit.
Does the orbit of Pluto sometimes cross that of the planet Neptune?
Pluto has a highly elliptical orbit which is at a steep angle to the ecliptic.The ecliptic is the plane that contains the sun's apparent motion through the skies from earth's point of view. Pluto is a K.O. (Kuyper Object, an object from the Kuyper Belt, more like an icy comet than an asteroid). It does travel within the orbit of Neptune for a few years out of its long orbit, but never in a way that will bring it crashing down onto Neptune. Pluto is locked into a special harmonic relationship with Neptune which prevents that from happening. For every 2 orbits of Pluto there are 3 orbits of Neptune. They are never close enough to collide. Pluto spends the vast majority of its orbital time in the Kuyper Belt, beyond Neptune's orbit.
Part of Pluto's orbit is inside the orbit of?
Pluto's unusual orbit causes it to travel inside Neptune's orbit.

Pluto's orbit sometimes takes it inside the orbit of?
Pluto's orbit sometimes carries inside the orbit of Neptune. One time, Pluto was stuck in Neptune's orbit for around 20 years.
What planets orbit intersects with Pluto?
Pluto's orbit passes inside the orbit of Neptune.
What 2 places can Pluto be in?
Since Pluto has a highly elliptical orbit, it can be between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, or it can be beyond the orbit of Neptune.
How would you describe Neptune's orbit?
Neptune's orbit is more like Pluto's orbit, slightly tilted.
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.
How many moons orbit Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto?
62 moons orbit Saturn, 67 orbit Jupiter, 5 orbit Pluto, 14 orbit Neptune, and 27 orbit Uranus.
Does Pluto's orbit overlaps the orbit of the asteroid Ceres?
Pluto's orbit DOES NOT overlap the orbit of the asteroid Ceres. But it does overlap the orbit of the planet neptune
What planet orbit does Pluto intersect?
neptune
Is Saturn the closest planet to Neptune?
No. It is Pluto. Pluto sometimes passes the orbit of Neptune to be closer to the Sun.
Why was Pluto closer to the sun then Neptune?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than Neptune's and at times it can come closer to the sun than Neptune. However, overall, Neptune is much closer to the sun in its average distance from the sun compared to Pluto.
