How is this possible how is pluto entering the axis of neptune

Do you know?

Till 25th August 2006 we used to say there are nine planets in our solar system. The ninth planet at that time was 'Pluto'. In the 26th general assemble of International Astronomical Union it was decided that 'Pluto' is no more a planet. The decision was taken since it was observed that Pluto does not follow the rule of "cleared the neighborhood." That means, sometimes it is entering into the orbit of Neptune.

 

Dear Student,

All planets revolve around the sun in their fixed orbits.
However, Pluto enters into the orbit of Neptune during it's revolution around the sun. This happens around every 248 years. This is one of the primary reasons why Pluto is no longer considered as a planet.

Regards
