What planet was farthest from the sun until 1999?

The planet that was farthest from the Sun from February 7, 1979 until February 11, 1999 was Uranus. Though Pluto was considered the outermost planet in the solar system since its discovery, its highly elliptical orbit sometimes brought it closer to the Sun than Uranus.


What planet was to the farthest from the sun until 1999?

Pluto used to be the outermost planet, except that sometimes it became Neptune because Pluto's elliptical orbit is far from circular. From 1979 to 1999 Neptune was the farthest planet from the Sun and remains the farthest from the Sun today, because Pluto us no longer defined as a planet.

Which planet was farthest away from the sun from 1978-1999?

From 1930 (when Pluto was discovered) to 1978, Pluto was the most distant planet. In 1978, Pluto slipped inside Neptune's orbit. Neptune was the farthest planet from 1978 to 1999, and Pluto (which has a fairly high eccentricity) was farther away from 1999 to 2006. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union "demoted" Pluto from Planet to Dwarf Planet, meaning that Neptune is once again the most distant planet.

What planet was farthest away from the Sun?

Within our Solar System, Pluto was until it was dubbed a dwarf planet. The current farthest planet is Neptune. Since Pluto has an orbit so eccentric that it is sometimes inside the orbit of Neptune, the identity of the "outermost planet" was previously time-dependent.
