Sedna is the most distant solar system object discovered so far. It is about three times farther away than Pluto currently is. Because it is so far away, scientists are not sure if it has enough mass to be classified as a dwarf planet.

Is Pluto the most-distant object in the solar system?

No, there are a lot of objects more distant than Pluto. Sedna, probably a dwarf planet, has an aphelion of about 31 times the distance of Neptune. Long period comets are thought to be even further out. The Oort cloud, which is part of the solar system, lies at its edge at 50,000 AUs distant.

When Observes think they have spotted others beyond the orbit of?

When observers see objects beyond the outer reaches of our solar system, they may have spotted a new dwarf planet, a trans-Neptunian object, or a distant Kuiper Belt object. These observations could help expand our understanding of the outer regions of our solar system and the diversity of objects that exist there.


Why is Pluto not always the most distant planet in the solar system?

Pluto's highly elliptical orbit sometimes brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. Though it should be noted that since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the furthest planet from the sun is Neptune.
