ORBITAL OVERLAP

NEPTUNE & PLUTO CROSSOVER

DYNAMICS:

The Switch

For 20 years out of its 248-year orbit, Pluto moves inside Neptune's orbit, becoming closer to the Sun than the blue giant.

Sources

STABLE RESONANCE

For every **3 orbits** Neptune completes, Pluto completes exactly **2**. This synchronization ensures Neptune is always in a different part of its orbit when Pluto crosses its path.

ORBITAL DATA
Ratio: 2:3 Resonance

ORBITAL INCLINATION

Pluto's orbit is tilted at **17 degrees** relative to the ecliptic. When it is "inside" Neptune's orbit, it is actually far above or below Neptune's orbital plane.

INCLINATION SPECS
Tilt: 17° Angle

THE "CROSSING"

Pluto was closer to the Sun than Neptune from **1979 to 1999**. It won't happen again until September 2226. They never get closer than 17 AU to each other.

TIMELINE
Distance: > 2.5B km

Apparent Cross

Tilt & Safety

Resonance: 3:2 (Neptune laps Pluto twice for every 3 orbits)

Inclination: 17 Degrees

Distance: They stay at least 17 AU apart.
