      km radius) and most distant from the sun. The suggestion
      has been made that it more closely resembles a large close
      comet than a planet. Its orbit has an eccentricity of
      0.248, larger than that of any other planet; it varies
      from 4.44 to 7.37 billion km distance from the sun.
      [PJC]

            Pluto is an oddball among its eight sister planets.
            It's the smallest in both size and mass, and has the
            most elliptical orbit. It moves in a plane tilted
            markedly away from the other planets' orbits.
            Moreover, Pluto is the only planet made almost
            entirely of ice.                      --Ron Cohen
