How far away is the farthest planet?

Our solar system is so big it is almost impossible to imagine its size if you use ordinary units like feet or miles. The distance from Earth to the Sun is 93 million miles (149 million kilometers), but the distance to the farthest planet Neptune is nearly 3 billion miles (4.5 billion kilometers).

How far away is Pluto from Neptune?

The closest distance between the two orbits is 2.4 AU. If we could reach out magically and move Pluto and Neptune to any point in their orbits, the closest they could ever get is 2.4 AU. However, this minimum distance can never occur. Pluto and Neptune have resonant orbits.

Is Pluto farther away than Neptune?

For 20 years, from 1979 to 1999, Neptune was actually farther from the sun than Pluto. For now, Pluto is back to being farther from the sun. It will be more than 230 years before Neptune and Pluto trade places again. Pluto slips inside of Neptune’s orbit once every 248 Earth years for a period of twenty years.

Why is Pluto not as bright as Neptune?

Neptune is brighter than Pluto because it is larger and (usually) closer to earth. There isn’t enough differences in the albedo or “reflectivity” of the two planets to offset Neptune’s size advantage.

Is Pluto the farthest planet from Earth?

Pluto, the ninth planet in our solar system, was not discovered until 1930 and remains a very difficult world to observe because it’s so far away. At an average distance of 2.7 billion miles from the Earth, Pluto is a dim speck of light in even the largest of our telescopes.
