It's really far away.

This directory should give you the north polar CC for all the planets out to Pluto; the southern ones should be easy to extrapolate from these figures.\n\nhttp://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/planetfact.html

by the name pluto and uranus\n\nummmm emailance i really don't think ur gonna get a story at the end

Pluto is 6 Billion kilometers away from the sun.  Light takes about 5.5 hours to reach Pluto.  Which means Pluto is only 6 light HOURS away from the sun.

It orbits between 29 and 49 AU from the Sun, and was the first Kuiper Belt Object to be discovered. Approximately one-fifth the mass of the Earth's Moon, Pluto is primarily composed of rock and ice. It has an eccentric orbit that is highly inclined with respect to the planets and takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune during a portion of its orbit. Pluto and its largest satellite, Charon, could be considered a binary system because they are closer in size than any of the other known planetoid/moon combinations in the solar system, and because the barycentre of their orbits does not lie within either body. However, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has yet to formalize a definition for binary dwarf planets, so Charon is regarded as a moon of Pluto. Two smaller moons, Nix and Hydra, were discovered in 2005. Pluto is smaller than several of the natural satellites or moons in our solar system (see the list of solar system objects by radius).\n\nFrom its discovery by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, Pluto was considered the ninth planet from the Sun. In the late 20th and early 21st century, many similar objects were discovered in the outer solar system, most notably the Trans-Neptunian object Eris which is slightly larger than Pluto. In August 2006 the IAU redefined the term "planet", and classified Pluto, Ceres, and Eris as dwarf planets.[1] Pluto is also classified as the prototype of a family of trans-Neptunian objects.[2][3] After the reclassification, Pluto was added to the list of minor planets and given the number 134340.[4][5]\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Discovery \n1.1 Relations to Neptune and Uranus \n1.2 Percival Lowell's influence \n1.3 Naming \n1.4 Symbol \n2 Physical characteristics \n2.1 Appearance \n2.2 Mass and size \n2.3 Atmosphere \n2.4 Composition \n2.5 Orbit \n2.5.1 Heliocentric distance \n2.6 Trans-Neptunian object \n2.7 Comet comparison \n3 Moons \n3.1 Charon \n3.2 Nix and Hydra \n3.3 Distribution \n3.4 Additional moons? \n4 Exploration of Pluto \n5 Planetary status controversy \n5.1 Omission from museum models \n5.2 Commemoration as a planet \n5.3 New discoveries ignite debate \n5.4 IAU Decisio

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto\nhttp://www.iau.org/fileadmin/content/pdfs/Resolution_GA26-5-6.pdf\n\non 24 august 2006, the international astronomical union reclassified pluto.\n\npluto does orbit the sun, is ball-shaped and is not a satellite, but it does not have an isolated orbit (a bunch of other similar bodies have similar orbits.) so it is not a planet.\n\ni have been waiting for this since i was about ten when i learned that pluto didn't fit the pattern set by the major bodies in the solar system so it was an anomaly. it just felt "out of place". now that astronomers have found hundreds of other bodies with similar orbits, classifying "134340 pluto" as a planet is even more irrational. i feel somewhat satisfied, but i don't know how long this will drag on tho. many planetary astronomers are satisfied that the definition is rigorous enuf. i can accept that the definition is flawed, but i can not accept that "134340 pluto" is a planet.\n\nthis was the right thing to do, believe me. this does not change anything about pluto or the solar system. this just corrects the mistake of classifying pluto as a planet initially.\n\nthis same thing happened has happened before.  in 1800, an astronomer found a body orbiting the sun between the orbits of mars and jupiter and thought it was a planet.  astronomers finally stopped classifying them as planets after they found several other bodies with similar orbits, and no one thinks ceres, pallas, juno, and vesta are planets today.\n\nmany astronomers consider pluto and charon to be a binary system, but two small bodies orbit that system. they are called nix and hydra.\n\nincidentally, "134340 pluto" was never a moon of neptune. neptune did capture triton. this is why triton has a retrograde orbit

Let's try to see this from Pluto's point of view.\n\nPluto received news in 1930 that the folks on Earth had proclaimed him as a Planet, putting him in a very exclusive group of Solar System inhabitants.\n\nPluto was very flattered indeed.\n\nPrior to this, he had been minding his own business, hurting nobody, as you rightly pointed out.  Well, almost nobody...  There were those pesky little rocks in the neighborhood that he just had to shoo away, like the little toddlers that sometimes walk right up to you in the mall.  But it wasn't very often, and Pluto was generally very well behaved in his 3:2 resonant orbit with the local neighborhood big guy, Neppy-whats-his-face.\n\nBut hey, if the folks on Earth put Pluto with Neppy, more power to you guys!\n\nBut the truth is, Pluto has been around for a long, long time, quietly doing his rounds.\n\nNow, you Earthlings decide to take away - some say "dethrone" - his title as a Planet.  Oh, the audacity!...\n\nBut in reality, the insult is felt by Pluto's friends on Earth (including yours truly).  Pluto heard about the raucous in August, but you know what?\n\nHe's still doing his rounds in the cold, dark outer reaches of our stellar neighborhood quietly and without complaining.  He's been doing it for many millennia now.  Maybe, when the boredom gets to him - or perhaps when a fit of playfulness seizes him - he may send a icy piece of rock heading our way, but I'm sure he'll aim to miss.\n\nPluto is a nice guy.  He never hurt anyone except those pesky toddler rocks.  I'm sad for him, but he knows he has friends down here.  He and his chums in the Kuiper Belt are probably laughing at Earthlings who can't seem to make up our minds.\n\nI heard Xena was about to call a neighborhood party to celebrate her ascension.  She's pissed.  Maybe she's the one who'll hurl that rock at us...

There is no set in stone definition of a planet, which is why there are debates re: Pluto. Your best bet is to read many definitions [1].\n\nHere is Wikipedia's take [2]: "A planet is generally considered to be a relatively large mass of accreted matter in orbit around a star that is not a star itself. "

Pluto is the smallest planet, recent reports says that pluto is not further considered as one of the planet cause it is actuallay only 3/4 of the moon...........Pluto has one moon named Charon

talk about pluto. Even though that was a couple of months ago it is still current.

My guess:\n\nIn Roman mythology Pluto is the God of the underworld, which is all cold and dark.  The ninth planet is also cold and dark.  Hence, the name.

On Feb 5th, 2006 at 9:05 PM PST Pluto is located \n\n31.704 AU or\n47.556 x 10^8 km or\n2.947 billion miles\n\naway from the Earth.

Tiny Pluto is the last planet in our family. The dark, cold planet's average distance from the Sun is a little over 3.5 billion (3,500,000,000) miles. If you tried to step off this distance, you would be over two miles away from your Sun when you reached the location of Pluto. If you got on a jet and flew at 600 miles per hour from the Sun to Pluto, it would take 675 years. If you could drive the same distance, it would take over 5,700 years.

You'd have to contact an observatory to find out where it was in the sky in 11/98 but with an orbital period of 165 years, it hasn't moved far relative to us. Pluto, of course, is no longer considered a planet.

The orbital period for Pluto is 90,613.3055 day or 248.09 years.
