Is Pluto or Neptune closer to Earth?
Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years. Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years.
Is Pluto sometimes closer to the Sun than Neptune?
Yes, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune for a ~20 year period every 228 years. The last time it was closer to the Sun than Neptune was 1979. This happens because Pluto has an eccentric orbit that is also highly inclined, Pluto's size\mass is not directly involved in this process in any way.
Is Pluto or Uranus closer to the sun?
Uranus is closer to the sun than Pluto. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, while Pluto is considered a dwarf planet and orbits beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.
Why is Pluto not always the most distant planet in the solar system?
Pluto's highly elliptical orbit sometimes brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. Though it should be noted that since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the furthest planet from the sun is Neptune.
Between 1979 and 1999 Pluto was closer to the sun then what planet?
t can change it isn't always exatly the same at least I don't think so

From 1979 to 1999, Pluto was closer to the Sun than Neptune, making Pluto the eighth planet from the Sun during that time frame.
Is Saturn the closest planet to Neptune?
No. It is Pluto. Pluto sometimes passes the orbit of Neptune to be closer to the Sun.
When was Pluto closer to the sun than Neptune?
Pluto was last closer to the Sun than Neptune between January 23, 1979, and February 11, 1999. This is due to the elliptical nature of Pluto's orbit, causing it to cross inside of Neptune's orbit for that period. Pluto will not be closer to the Sun than Neptune again until March 15, 2285.
When is the next year that Pluto with be closer to the sun than Neptune?
In about 2227 A.D., their orbits will cross and Pluto will be closer to the sun for 20 years. Then, the orbits will cross again and Neptune will be closer for 228 years.

Which planet is the furtherest from the sun?
Neptune, now. Pluto has been downgraded to a planetoid. There were times that Pluto would be closer to the sun than Neptune, too. So it would depend when you asked.
When Pluto was considered a planet why was neptune the farthest planet from the sun from 1979 to 1999?
Neptune's orbit is more elliptical than Pluto's, causing their orbits to sometimes intersect. From 1979 to 1999, Neptune's elliptical orbit brought it closer to the sun than Pluto, making Neptune the farthest planet from the sun during that time.
