The orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto is quite eccentric, meaning it's more of an oval than a circle. It actually comes "inside" the orbit of Neptune for a part of its orbit. Aphelion, its farthest distance is about 7,375,927,931 km or 4,583,189,130 miles away while Perihelion its closest distance is about 4,436,824,613 km or 2,756,915,000 miles away.
