   How does Pluto travel around the Sun?

   • Almost all the planets in our solar system travel around the Sun in nearly perfect circles. But Pluto does not. It takes an oval-shaped path with the Sun nowhere near its center. What's more, its path is quite tilted from the nice, orderly plane where most of the planets orbit.

   How often does Pluto orbit the Sun?

   • About every 228 years Pluto’s orbit takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune. This last occurred from 1979 to 1999. Pluto’s oval orbit, small size, and other unusual features make it unlike the eight planets. In the 1990s scientists discovered a ring of millions of small, icy objects. These objects orbit the Sun beyond Neptune.

   Is Pluto a tiny world?

   • It turned out to be a tiny world, even smaller than our Moon. Pluto follows an elliptical (egg-shaped) orbit that varies between 7,381 million km (49 Sun-Earth distances) and 4,446 million km (30 Sun-Earth distances). Since one orbit lasts 248 years, no one born on Pluto would ever experience a single birthday! Very little is known about Pluto.

   What do you know about Pluto?

   • Very little is known about Pluto. Its surface is extremely cold (-230 degrees C) and seems to be covered with frozen ices. In recent years it has been fairly close to the Sun and enjoying a brief summer. Surface ices have vaporised, producing a thin atmosphere.
