Is Pluto's orbit shorter then Saturn's?
Pluto orbits the sun, as does Saturn, but Saturn is closer to the sun than Pluto is, so Pluto has much further to go to orbit the sun. Pluto's orbit is longer than Saturn's.
How many days does Pluto orbit the sun?
0.00403087 times in one year.248 earth years.Pluto revolves around the sun all the time. Even without ever stopping, it takes248 years to complete one revolution. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has madeless than 1/3 of a complete orbit around the sun.
Why does it take Pluto the longest time to make a complete revolution around the sun?
Pluto has the longest orbit in length as it is further away from the sun than the other planets. If we model the orbit of all the planets as perfect circles, we can see that planets further from the sun give orbits which are larger circles, and larger circle have larger circumferences, which are the longer orbits. Even if the planets orbited at the same speed, Pluto would take longer to orbit as it has further to travel. Pluto doesn't orbit at the same speed as other planets - it orbits more slowly. This means it takes even longer to orbit the sun. It orbits more slowly as it is further out and the sun exerts less of a gravitational force on Pluto than on the other planets, and it is this gravitational force which causes objects to orbit around the sun. In fact, the sun exerts 1600 times as much force on Earth than on Pluto.
How many times further from the sun is Pluto than mercury?
Mercury orbits the Sun at from .31 AU to .46 AU (46 to 69 million kilometers). Pluto orbits the sun at from 30 AU to 49 AU. (4400 to 7400 million kilometers). So both have a considerably elliptical orbit, but generally speaking Pluto is about 100 times as far from the Sun as Mercury.
Since 1776 how many times has Pluto orbited the sun?
It takes roughly 248 years for Pluto to orbit the Sun once. 2012-1776=236 years 236/248=0.95 orbits As you can see, Pluto is ALMOST done with one orbit around the Earth, going from the year 1776 to 2012.
Is Pluto's orbit shorter then Saturn's?
Pluto orbits the sun, as does Saturn, but Saturn is closer to the sun than Pluto is, so Pluto has much further to go to orbit the sun. Pluto's orbit is longer than Saturn's.
What is the size comparison of Earth and Pluto?
If Pluto's orbit were on the same plane as Earth's orbit, if Earth were directly between the sun and Pluto, if Earth were at its aphelion (the point in its orbit where it's farthest from the sun), and if Pluto were at its perihelion (the point in its orbit closest to the sun), on the scale where the diameter of Earth is 5 mm, the distance from Earth to Pluto is about 1.681 km (a little over a mile).
Will the planet Pluto be attracted to the sun with the same force as the earth is attracted to the sun?
No. Pluto has less mass and it is further away, so the force is a lot less. Pluto's mass is only about 0.0022 times the Earth's mass and Pluto is (on average) about 39 times further away from the Sun than Earth. So, according to Newton's law of gravity, the gravitational force attracting Pluto compared with Earth is only about 0.0022/392. That's only about 1.4 x 10-6 times the force felt by the Earth. The force on the Earth is 3.542 x 1022 Newtons, ±3.4% due to the elliptical orbit. The force on Pluto is 5.001 x 1016 Newtons, ±50%.
How many times does the planet Pluto circle the sun in a year?
It takes 247.92 earth years for Pluto to orbit the sun once.
What planet's orbit crosses with Pluto and is it times with Pluto?
Neptunes
What planet's orbit crosses with Pluto and is at times behind Pluto?
Neptune's
How many days makes a year on Pluto?
It takes Pluto 90,588 (Earth) days - or 248 (Earth) years - to make one full orbit around the sun. If one day on Pluto is equal to 153 Earth hours (or 6.375 Earth days), then one year on Pluto would therefore be equal to ~14,210 "Pluto days" (i.e. Pluto makes one full rotation around it's axis ~14,210 times for every full orbit it makes around the sun).
Does Pluto orbit the sun every 2.5 Earth years?
No, Pluto orbits the sun approximately every 248 Earth years. Its orbit is much longer and more elliptical compared to the planets in the inner solar system, contributing to its unique place in our solar system.
How many times a week does Pluto to orbit around the sun?
Pluto takes 246.04 years to orbit the sun once

Is Pluto's orbit shorter than Saturn?
No. Pluto's orbit is more than 4 times as larger and takes more than 8 times as long as Saturn's.
