Pluto's unusual orbit causes it to travel inside Neptune's 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.
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.
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.
it used to vary between neptune and Pluto due to plutos unusual orbit. but since Pluto was declared not a planet. it is neptune.
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.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Because of the eccentricity of Plutos orbit it is sometime inside the orbit of Neptune.

Neptune's, at times.

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.
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.
250 million Plutos would fit inside the Sun

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