Pluto's closest passing of the sun (perihelion) is 29.6 AU or astronomic units
An astronomic unit is the distance from the sun to the earth aprox 93 million miles.
Pluto's farthest distance from the sun (apehelion) is 49.3 AU
It's average distance from the sun is about 39.5 AU
It takes Pluto 248.09 years to make one orbit of the sun
Keppler's law states that you can figure out the orbital period if you know the average distance.
take the square root of the distance cubed (39.5^3) =248.25 yrs
