What planets have orbits that cross?
inner planets <<>> Pluto has a very elliptical orbit and Pluto crosses inside the orbit of Neptune during its travel. However Pluto has a highly inclined orbit as well so there is no likelihood of a collision.
Is Pluto the last planet from the Sun?
Pluto is not the last planet technically. Now it is a dwarf planet as it became to small to be considered a planet. Pluto is not the last planet. It is called the last planet as it is the furthest away planet that orbits our sun. There are many other planets further away from us than Pluto.
What other planets would you pass on the way to Uranus?
On the way to Uranus from Earth, you would pass by other gas giant planets in our solar system such as Jupiter and Saturn. These planets are closer to the Sun than Uranus, which is located further out in the solar system.
Why does Pluto orbit the sun differently?
Like the planets, Pluto's spin axis stays pointed in the same direction as it orbits the Sun. But unlike all planets except Uranus, Pluto is tipped on its side. The planets' axes of rotation stand more or less upright from the plane of their orbits.
If Pluto has not cleared its neighborhood of objects in its orbit then neither has Neptune since Pluto crosses its orbit Why is Neptune not excluded from the list of planets?
It crosses another planet's orbital path. Since Pluto is not a planet, it does not matter. Comets always pass other planets' orbital paths. They are still called planets. Countless asteriods and comets orbits the sun and crosses every planets orbital path. Pluto is somewhat a part of them.There is something circular about the logic in the above answer; see discussion.Probably a stronger answer is the fact that even though a section of the orbit of Pluto comes within the orbit of Neptune, the harmonic relationship between the two bodies is such that they can never collide, barring some catastrophic event that alters one or both orbits. Neptune and Pluto are locked in this harmonic relationship where for every three orbits of Neptune there is exactly two orbits of Pluto. So Pluto cannot be seen as an object that Neptune must clear. Pluto is more like an unusual moon of Neptune.
What other planets would you pass on the way to mercury?
You would only pass Venus, since the solar system begins with the sun, and ends with Pluto. The full sequence is the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
What planets do you pass to get too Pluto?
mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune
What other planets would you pass on the way to Jupiter?
Mars
What happens if the planet Pluto blows up?
It depends on where it is when it blows up, and the trajectory of resulting chunks. If Pluto is at the end of its orbit farther from the sun, then it isn't likely that there would be any bad events following its demise. Most of the chunks would just become part of the asteroid belt that Pluto spends a lot of time in. Of course, it would be bad news for all the Plutonians living there... There would be an extremely small probability that a chunk would head toward earth, but any such chunk would have to pass reasonably near the orbits of several other planets. If the planets were nearby as chunks pass, this would decrease the chance of an earth collision; the other planets would tend to capture most such chunks. Even our moon offers a little protection.
What other planets would you pass on the way to Saturn?
If you were starting from Earth - Mars and Jupiter.
Pluto's orbit around the Sun is very different than those of other planets. How is it different?
The minor planet Pluto has an orbit which is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic. It is also a highly eccentric ellipse, causing it sometimes to pass inside the orbit of Neptune.
What planets have orbits that cross?
inner planets <<>> Pluto has a very elliptical orbit and Pluto crosses inside the orbit of Neptune during its travel. However Pluto has a highly inclined orbit as well so there is no likelihood of a collision.
What would you pass on a journey to Pluto?
Just about the entire solar system! Assuming your starting point is Earth, you would pass Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune before reaching Pluto.
Planets that would experience eclipses of the sun?
Any planet with moons could potentially experience an eclipse. Transits are what happens when other planets (Mercury & Venus) pass between earth and sun. Neither of these have moons. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all have moons. Pluto's moon (Charon) is big and close to it--it may (depending on its orbit) occult the sun frequently. Jupiter usually has some lunar shadow dotting its sunside surface. Only earth and Pluto have moons big enough to produce total eclipses. (Not sure about dwarf planets beyond Pluto--some of which also have moons). Mars has two tiny moons.
Is Pluto the last planet from the Sun?
Pluto is not the last planet technically. Now it is a dwarf planet as it became to small to be considered a planet. Pluto is not the last planet. It is called the last planet as it is the furthest away planet that orbits our sun. There are many other planets further away from us than Pluto.
What other planet would you pass to get from mars to earth?
There aren't any known planets between Mars and Earth.
What other planets would you pass on the way to Uranus?
On the way to Uranus from Earth, you would pass by other gas giant planets in our solar system such as Jupiter and Saturn. These planets are closer to the Sun than Uranus, which is located further out in the solar system.
