Neptune is the planet that typically lies between Pluto and Uranus. However, during some parts of it's orbit, Pluto will be closer to the sun than Neptune is (i.e. Neptune is no longer between Uranus and Pluto; instead, Pluto is between Uranus and Neptune).
In fact, as of February 11th, 1999, Pluto passed Neptune, thereby making Neptune the furthest planet from the Sun. Neptune will continue to be the further than Pluto until April 5th, 2231.

What makes the planet Pluto unique?
Pluto is a dwarf planet according to the most recent definition Pluto orbits with it's moon Charon around a barycenter which lies above the surface and between both bodies Pluto is the earliest discovered member of a class of objects known as the Kuiper belt
When Pluto was a planet why was it not always the farthest planet from the sun?
Pluto's orbital is elliptical. Its farthest planet from sun when it lies on two elliptical end. On the other hand Neptune's orbital is circular and become larger then Pluto's orbit when Pluto come in the middle of two elliptical end. For this reason Pluto is not always farthest planet from sun.
Where is earth in relation to the other planets and the sun?
Earth lies between Venus and Mars in our solar system, and is the third planet from the sun. It is closer to the sun than the outer planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, but further away than the inner planets like Mercury and Venus.
Is Jupiter more closer to the sun or to Pluto?
Jupiter is closer to the sun than Pluto. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun, while Pluto is considered a dwarf planet and lies much further out in our solar system.
What planet lies between Mars and Venus?
Earth Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune [Pluto]
What is the planet that lies on its side?
The planet that lies on its side is Uranus. Its axial tilt is approximately 98 degrees, causing it to appear to roll along its orbit around the sun.
What place does Saturn have in the solar system?
Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun. Its orbit lies between the orbits of Jupiter (the fifth planet) and Uranus (the seventh).
Is mars a inner planet or outter planet?
Mars is an inner planet. It lies on the side of the asteroid belt which contains Earth, Venus, and Mercury. On the other side of the Asteroid Belt are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto - which is no longer considered to be a planet, but a dwarf planet. These are the outer planets.
Which planet is known as a double planet?
That would be Pluto-Charon. While Charon is usually though of as Pluto's largest moon it does not actually orbit Pluto. It is close enough to Pluto's mass that rather than Charon orbiting Pluto, the two objects revolve around their common center of mass, which lies between them, above the surface of Pluto. Keep in mind that Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

Which is the only planet that lies on its side?
Uranus. "Lies on its side" isn't the proper scientific description, of course.
Why do they call Pluto the double planet?
They call Pluto the double planet because rather than Charon simply orbiting Pluto, the two objects revolve around their common center of mass, which lies outside of Pluto.

Why do astromeners sometimes consider Pluto and its moon to be a double planet?
Unlike all other known planet-moon systems, the common center of mass between Pluto and Charon, called the barycenter, lies outside of either object so that the two objects revolve around a common point between them
What lies beyond earth in the solar system?
Mars, the asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, The Kuiper Belt Pluto
