Pluto's orbital path is quite eccentric ... its minimum distance from the sun is only

about 61 percent of its maximum distance, and as we all know, a planet moves

fastest when it's nearest the sun, and slowest when it's farthest away from the

sun. But the online reference that I consulted lists Pluto's 'average' orbital speed

as 4.666 kilometers per second (2.9 miles per second), and I'm certainly neither

positioned nor motivated to dispute that.

Pluto takes about 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun. That means

that since its discovery in 1930, it has covered about 1/3 of an orbital revolution.

Pluto takes about 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun. It has a highly elliptical orbit, which means its distance from the sun varies significantly throughout its revolution.
