Q. Given that the orbits of Neptune and Pluto intersect, are they likely to collide?

A. Pluto was considered the ninth planet in the Solar System until 2006. At that time also, some features of Pluto were seen which made him different from other planets. It is 1 / 5th the size of the Moon and has its own satellite. In 2006, it and others like it were given the title of a dwarf planet.
We have all seen such diagrams of the solar system in childhood where the orbit of Pluto appears to bite Neptune.

This means that for some time Pluto's distance is less than Neptune. The last such time was in 1979–1999, and the next time would be in 2227. Where the orbits of the other planets are nearly spherical, Pluto's orbit is more oval.

The other peculiarity of Pluto's orbit is that while the orbits of the other planets are on the same plane, the orbit of Pluto makes an angle of 17 ° [1] from them. Even though in the two-dimensional picture it seems that Neptune and Pluto may collide, but in reality, in three dimensions they look something like this -
As such we can see that the two orbits do not cut each other anywhere, but rather the orbit of Pluto originates from above or below Neptune. In this situation, a collision situation is impossible anywhere.

Q. Why is a life not possible on Pluto?

A. There is no life on Pluto, it is just a snowball. Pluto has an average temperature of -200 ℃. It is so far from the Sun that it takes more than 6 hours for the sunlight to reach it. We cannot even imagine life on Pluto due to being so cold. One day on Pluto is equal to 6 days on Earth and it also has no atmosphere of its own nor any magnetic field. Only such reason is enough for Pluto to have no life.

Q. In how many years does Pluto orbit the sun?

A. It takes 248 years for Pluto to make one round of the sun. It is worth noting that since Pluto was discovered in 1930, Pluto has not made even half of its orbit!

Q. What is the diameter of the planet Pluto?

A. The diameter of the planet Pluto is 2,376.6 km

Q. What color is the sky on Pluto?

A. Red

Q. In how many years does Pluto orbit the sun?
