Why is Pluto's Plane drastically skewed in comparison to the other planets orbits?

Why is Pluto's Plane drastically skewed in comparison to the other planets orbits?|||NEWSFLASH:





plut isn't a planet. Therefore it can orbit however it wants.





even the shape of a box|||Pluto is not a planet, it is a Kuiper Belt object.





The Kuiper Belt is a region beyond Neptune that contains thousands to millions of small rocky or icy objects - sort of like an asteroid belt.


Collisions between these objects can send them into skewed orbits - that is the current theory behind Pluto's highly-elliptical orbit.|||Drastically skewed is an understatement. The time we have spent looking at Pluto is very short compared to its orbital period (est). For the time we have looked at Pluto, it has traveled only a short distance in its orbit, thus we don't have enough data to formulate the true shape of its orbit. We can estimate, we can know it is very large, and we could predict that its perihelion brought it inside Neptune's orbit. But that's about all. We will just have to wait until Pluto has traveled farther in its orbit so that we can get a better picture of just how skewed Pluto really is.|||Drastically screwed isn't harsh enough. Pluto's orbit is amazingly screwed. It's because the gravity dissipates (due to the distance from the sun) to a point where the sun doesn't have a very stable hold on Pluto... this causes a radically eccentric orbit.|||Some think that it was a moon of neptune or Uranus and was knocked out of orbit by a passing massive body, or pulled in from the Kuiper belt by same. It hasn't been studied very well, so those are only speculations.


The truth could very well be something very different.
