ViviThe distance from Earth to Pluto varies as the two planets orbit the Sun. On average, they are about 3.67 billion miles (5.9 billion kilometers) apart. However, due to their elliptical orbits, this distance can range from about 2.66 billion miles (4.28 billion kilometers) to 4.67 billion miles (7.5 billion kilometers) at their farthest points.

What is the actual distance in miles of the planet Pluto?
Pluto's distance from Earth varies from 2.6 to 4.6 billion miles depending on the position of Earth and Pluto in their orbits around the Sun. The distance from the Sun is 2.8 to 4.5 billion miles.
How far is Pluto from Neptune in miles?
The average distance between Pluto and Neptune is about 2.7 billion miles.
How does the diameter of Pluto compare to that of Earth?
It covers more distance and ground than Earth
what Pluto, the dwarf planet, is 5.9 billion kilometers from the Sun. Explain how a model showing the gravitational pull on Pluto would differ from your model of Earth’s orbit.?
The distance between the Sun and Earth is 149,600,000 kilometers, and the distance between the Sun and Pluto is 5.9 billion kilometers. The gravitational pull decreases with an increase in distance. So, the gravitational pull of the Sun on Pluto is much less than its pull on Earth. So, in the model, Pluto’s orbit would have a much larger radius than Earth’s orbit.
How many times further is the orbit of Pluto than the earth?
The orbit of Pluto is about 39 times further away from the Sun than Earth's orbit. Pluto's average distance from the Sun is about 39.5 astronomical units, while Earth's average distance is about 1 astronomical unit.
