What year will Neptune become the ninth planet again?

The IAU no longer regards Pluto as a planet so Neptunewill forever be our 8th planet even when it is farther from the sun than Pluto. However it will be another 230 years before Neptune is farther from the Sun than Pluto


Plaents further away from the sun than Uranus?

Neptune and Pluto are the only planets in our solar system that are further away from the sun than Uranus. Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun, while Pluto, although now classified as a dwarf planet, has a highly elliptical orbit that takes it even farther from the sun than Neptune at certain points in its orbit.


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.


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.


What planet is called the outermost planet?

With Pluto now regarded as a dwarf planet, the answer is Neptune. There are times when Pluto's orbit takes it inside Neptune for about 20 years at a time out of its 248 year orbit, as it did from 1979 to 1999. So even when Pluto was considered a planet, it wasn't always the furthest away from the Sun.

What is the farthest planet from the sun at certain times?

The farthest planet from the sun depends on their positions in their respective orbits. Generally, Neptune is the farthest planet in our solar system, but due to the elliptical nature of their orbits, Pluto can sometimes be farther from the sun than Neptune.

What do astronomers now believe about Pluto affecting uranus's and neptune's orbits?

Astronomers now realize that Pluto does not have nearly enough mass to noticeably affect the orbits of Uranus or Neptune.

What do astronomers now believe about Pluto's affecting Uranus and Neptune orbits?

i think they didnt do with pluto because this planet is to high away from earth and too cold i dont know if their machines can hold up to -1500 Celciius

Is Neptune the fartherest planet from the sun?

Yes. Pluto used to be (at least most of the time since, its orbits crosses that of Neptune) but now Pluto is considered a dwarf planet.


What place is Neptune from the sun?

Its the 8th planet in the solar system however, when Pluto (which was 9th planet) until it was demoted to dwarf planet, passes inside the orbit of Neptune; Neptune then becomes the outer most planet making it the 9th. I do not know if this still counts now because of Pluto's new status.


Which planet is nearer Pluto?

Neptune is now considered the outermost planet, Pluto is the next one but it is no longer considered a planet.


Which planet is the furtherest from the sun?

Neptune, now. Pluto has been downgraded to a planetoid. There were times that Pluto would be closer to the sun than Neptune, too. So it would depend when you asked.
