The most eccentric orbit of any planet in the solar system belongs to Pluto, a ball of rock and ice smaller than Earth's Moon. With its even smaller companion, Charon, Pluto traces an elliptical orbit in the outer reaches of the solar system.
When it is closest to the Sun, Pluto is 2.8 billion miles out (4.4 billion km), which is closer than Neptune. But the outer end of its long path is 4.6 billion miles from the Sun (7.5 billion km). For all but twenty years of its 248-year orbit, Pluto is the outermost known planet in the solar system.
The Creator made Pluto's unusual orbit have an effect on the planet. When it is closest to the Sun some of the ice on its surface evaporates, giving Pluto a thin atmosphere probably composed of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and other light gases. That atmosphere condenses into snow when the planet is farther from the Sun. Did you happen to know that Pluto's Creator was that Baby born in Bethlehem?
