No, in fact it has the most elongated and tilted orbit in the whole solar system

What planets orbit interacts with plutos orbit?

Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than the major planets' orbits, and every time it goes round it spends some years inside Neptune's orbit.


What orbit has the eccentricity that is closest to 0?

Of the planets in our solar system, Venus has the smallest eccentricity.


What is orbit is not perfectly round is called what?

An orbit that is not perfectly round is called an elliptical orbit. In an elliptical orbit, the distance between the orbiting body and the central body varies, resulting in a shape that resembles an elongated circle. This type of orbit is characterized by its eccentricity, which measures how much it deviates from a perfect circle. Most celestial bodies, including planets and satellites, follow elliptical orbits due to gravitational influences.


What is an object that is slightly smaller than Pluto and orbits the sun beyond Neptune's spherical?

Pluto's moon Charon is smaller than it. Since they both orbit round each other, one could argue that they both orbit the Sun as a bi-planetary system.


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.

What planet's orbit cuts across another planet's orbit?

Pluto cuts across Neptune's orbit about once every hundred years. This is because Pluto has an ovalish orbit around the sun and Neptune has a round one.

How come Pluto is not a planet no more?

Pluto is no longer considered a planet (however it is called a dwarf planet) because it failed to meet the International Astronomical Union's definition of a planet:must orbit the sun (check)nearly round in shape (also, check)has cleared its orbit area of other planets (here's where Pluto fails, as Saturn crosses Pluto's orbit every so many years)

Why is Pluto not round?

Pluto is round. It is massive enough to have been rounded by it own gravity.


Why does Pluto orbit the sun differently?

Like the planets, Pluto's spin axis stays pointed in the same direction as it orbits the Sun. But unlike all planets except Uranus, Pluto is tipped on its side. The planets' axes of rotation stand more or less upright from the plane of their orbits.


Does seasonal temperatures exist on Pluto?

Yes, the seasons are caused by the elliptical nature of Pluto's orbit round the sun. In the summer period when Pluto is nearest the sun it develops an atmosphere which freezes out as it moves further away. At present (2008) Pluto has an atmosphere, it is 2/3 of its way through in its warm season and the probe launched to it has an objective of studying its atmosphere.


Why is a balloon not perfectly round?

This is because the material the ballon is made of is shaped differently. The ballon will stretch and try to achieve a perfect round shape, but can not due to limitations in the way the ballon is made. One can however buy balloons that are almost perfectly round when inflated.


Why isn't pluto currently considered a planet?

pluto isn`t currently consider as a planet today because in 2006 scinctist decided that pluto is too tiny to be planet and it has a weird orbit and it also isn`t that round to be a planet.But I still want it to be planet but what can i do anyway
