What is the distance between the pluto and sun?

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. Pluto’s orbit is described this way: Aphelion (farthest distance) – 7,375,927,931 km (49.30503287 AU) Perihelion (closest distance) – 4,436,824,613 km (29.65834067 AU) Note the broad difference in the two figures. The average distance is about 5,906,376,272 km (3,670,052,070 miles or 39.48168677 AU). Light from the sun takes 340 minutes to reach Pluto, so Pluto is also 340 light minutes from the sun (on average). source: wiki.answers.com Sources: http://wiki.answers.

The distance from Pluto to the Sun is 30 to 49 AU (4.4–7.4 billion km). The reason for the large variance is that Pluto runs an elliptical orbit and at times is actually closer to the sun than Neptune. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.
