How far from the sun is Pluto'?

Answer 1

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. Pluto's orbit is described this way:

• Aphelion (farthest distance) - 7,375,927,931 km 4,583,189,130 miles (49.30503287 AU)
• Perihelion (closest distance) - 4,436,824,613 km 2,756,915,000 miles (29.65834067 AU)

Notes:

• Note the broad differences in the two figures.
• The average distance is about 5,906,376,272 km or 3,670,052,070 miles (39.48168677 AU).
• Sunlight takes 4 to 7 hours to reach Pluto, so Pluto ranges 247 to 410 light minutes from the sun.

Answer 2

Pluto's average distance from the sun is about 3.7 billion miles, or 5.9 billion kilometers. However, since Pluto follows an elliptical orbit, its distance from the sun varies between about 2.7 billion miles (4.4 billion kilometers) at perihelion and 4.6 billion miles (7.4 billion kilometers) at aphelion.

Answer 3

Because Pluto's orbit around the sun is ecliptic, this question has 2 answers.

Farthest distance is about 7,4 billion km.

Closest distance is about 4,4 billion km

Answer 4

258 years to orbit the sun
