Because it is farther away. The farther an object is from the sun the less gravity effects it. If Pluto moved faster it would escape the suns gravity and fly off into space, if it moved slower it would get closer and closer to the sun.

Why does Pluto move more slowly in its orbit than any other planet?

because its farthest from the sun


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 different about Pluto's orbit that the orbit in our other planet's solar system?

its orbit crosses with another plant


What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?

Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.


What planet does the moon Charon orbit?

It is undecided whether Charon is Pluto's moon or if it is in a binary planet system with Pluto (which is actually a dwarf planet). But using Pluto's orbit, it takes about 248 Earth years (90,613 days) to orbit the Sun completely.


Is Pluto exactly like the other planets?

No. Pluto's not a planet. Its a big piece of rock that does'nt orbit like the other planets.


What makes pluto dwarf planet?

Pluto is considered a dwarf planet because it does not meet all the requirements to be classified as a full-fledged planet. According to the International Astronomical Union's definition, a planet must orbit the sun, be spherical in shape, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. While Pluto orbits the sun and is spherical, it has not cleared its orbit as it shares its path with other objects in the Kuiper Belt. Therefore, Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet.


What planet does Pluto orbit?

Pluto doesn't orbit any planets, it orbits the sun. But if you mean what planet does Pluto share a orbit with is Neptune. Pluto sometimes is closer to the sun than Neptune because it cuts into Neptune's orbit.


Why some scientists have classified Pluto as dwarf planet not as normal planet?

They classified it as a dwarf planet because it has not cleared its neighborhood. This refers to the other objects that share space with Pluto while it is moving through the Kuiper Belt. Pluto's orbit is distinct from Neptune's orbit, but because of the eccentricity of Pluto's orbit (the degree to which it resembles an oval) it is sometimes within Neptune's orbit and most of the time far outside of it.


Why is Pluto very different from the other planets?

Pluto is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets. It also has a very irregular orbit.


What is unusual about Pluto's moon?

One unusual aspect of Pluto's moon is that it is nearly half the size of Pluto itself, making it one of the largest moons relative to its planet in the solar system. Additionally, its orbit is highly elliptical and tilted, unlike most other moons that orbit closer to their planet's equator.


What planet does Pluto interfere its orbit with?

Pluto's orbit interferes with Neptune's orbit due to their gravitational interactions. This causes their orbits to cross over each other at points, though they do not collide.
