You are going for Neptune, but the orbital paths don't actually cross. Neptune and Pluto are never in danger of colliding. The eccentricity of Pluto's orbit keeps it away from Neptune's direct path even though Pluto is, for a time, closer to the sun. More importantly the two orbits are 'harmonically' related in such a way that there are exactly two orbits of Pluto for every three orbits of Neptune. This relationship guarantees that the bodies will never be close enough for a collision. Because of this harmonic relationship, some have argued that Pluto can be considered a moon of Neptune.
What else can I help you with?
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits among the planets in our solar system. Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric, while Pluto's orbit is also highly elliptical due to its distance from the Sun and its eccentric orbit.
Does Pluto orbit the sun?
Yes, Pluto does orbit the Sun. It follows an elliptical orbit, much like the other planets in our solar system, albeit with a more elongated and tilted path due to its unique orbit.
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.
Is it true that Pluto is the only body in the solar systemwith an elliptical orbit?
No. The truth is the exact opposite. Every object in a closed orbit around the sun ...every planet, asteroid, periodic comet, etc. ... has an elliptical orbit.
Do any of the major planets ever get further away from the sun than Pluto does?
Yes. Sometimes Neptune is father away from the sun than Pluto. Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune's. None of the other seven planets ever get farther away from the sun that Pluto.
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits among the planets in our solar system. Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric, while Pluto's orbit is also highly elliptical due to its distance from the Sun and its eccentric orbit.
What has elliptical orbits?
As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.
Which planet orbits crosses Pluto's every 248 years?
Pluto's orbit is 248 years. Pluto has an elliptical orbit that takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune, for 20 years, out of its 248 year orbit of the Sun. So every 228 years, Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune's orbit. This last happened between 1979 and 1999.
Which have the most elliptical and tilted orbits?
Pluto and Eris have the most elliptical and tilted orbits among the known dwarf planets. Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical and tilted compared to the eight planets in our solar system. Eris also has a very elliptical orbit and is tilted at a steep angle.
Does Pluto orbit the sun?
Yes, Pluto does orbit the Sun. It follows an elliptical orbit, much like the other planets in our solar system, albeit with a more elongated and tilted path due to its unique orbit.
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.
Which planet has an oblique elliptical orbit?
Pluto has the most oblique orbit. All the planets have elliptical orbits, however Mercury has the most elliptical orbit since Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet. This information is provided by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and available online [see related links].
Is Pluto the only body in the solar system with an elliptical orbit?
No, Pluto is not the only body in the solar system with an elliptical orbit. Many other bodies, including planets and smaller objects like comets, have elliptical orbits. The degree of ellipticity can vary between different celestial bodies.
Is it true that Pluto is the only body in the solar systemwith an elliptical orbit?
No. The truth is the exact opposite. Every object in a closed orbit around the sun ...every planet, asteroid, periodic comet, etc. ... has an elliptical orbit.
What is Neptune's place in orbit in relation to the other planets?
Neptune's place in orbit is relatively after Uranus's orbit. It being the eighth and final planet in our solar system (Pluto is not a planet), Neptune crosses with Pluto in the orbit making it the ninth planet until Pluto was kicked out.
What planet's orbit crosses with Pluto and is it times with Pluto?
Neptunes
What planet's orbit crosses with Pluto and is at times behind Pluto?
Neptune's
