Pluto is further from the sun than Neptune 20 out of every 248 years Pluto is unusual in another way. Most planets orbit the sun, staying about the same distance from it all the time. That means their orbits are almost like a circle, with the sun in the centre, but Pluto's orbit is different. It is an oval and the sun is not in the centre. Pluto's journey around the sun takes 248 years, and for most of those years, it is further from the sun than Neptune. However, for 20 of those years, it isn't. During that time, Pluto's orbit crosses inside of Neptune's orbit so, for a while, Pluto is closer to the sun than Neptune.
