What planets lie between Mars in Pluto?

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Because of the eccentricity of Plutos orbit it is sometime inside the orbit of Neptune.


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 planet's orbit extends beyond plutos orbit?

Neptune's, at times.


Who discovered plutos orbit?

John Tombaugh


Occasionally Plutos' orbit will remain inside Neptunes' orbit for a period of about how many years?

Pluto's orbit remains inside Neptune's orbit for about 20 years out of its 248-year orbital period. This phenomenon occurs due to the unique orbital characteristics of Pluto and Neptune.


What is unique about Plutos orbit around the sun?

All of the 8 planets that orbit the Sun are in the same general plane. That is that they are all flat. Pluto's orbit is not flat like the rest of the planets. It is like it got caught while passing by. Some think that it is a burned out comet. It is a dwarf planet, no longer considered to be a real planet.


You are usally th 8th planet from the sun but every 248 years you move inside plutos orbit for 20 years?

That description fits the planet Neptune in our solar system. Neptune is usually the 8th planet from the sun, but due to its orbital path and the orbit of Pluto, every 248 years it moves inside Pluto's orbit for a period of around 20 years before returning to its usual position.


How many Pluto's could you put in the sun?

250 million Plutos would fit inside the Sun


Until 1999 which planet was the farthest?

it used to vary between neptune and Pluto due to plutos unusual orbit. but since Pluto was declared not a planet. it is neptune.


How many plutos can fit in mars?

To determine how many Plutos can fit in Mars, we need to compare their volumes. The volume of Pluto is approximately 6.39 x 10^9 cubic kilometers, while the volume of Mars is about 1.63 x 10^11 cubic kilometers. By dividing the volume of Mars by the volume of Pluto, we find that roughly 25 Plutos can fit inside Mars.


Pluto's orbit sometimes takes it inside the orbit of?

Pluto's orbit sometimes carries inside the orbit of Neptune. One time, Pluto was stuck in Neptune's orbit for around 20 years.


Why does Pluto take so long to orbit the Sun?

Plutos Orbits length is unusually longer than other planets orbits.But its width is shorter than Neptunes orbit. So at one point in Plutos orbit it is closer to the sun than Neptune. Its estimated time to orbit is around 250 years
