02. What is interesting about this new planet's orbit? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

This planet moves in an elliptical orbit tilted 45 degrees to the plane of the solar system's eight major planets. It is so far away that it takes 560 years for this planet to complete one trip around the Sun. At its most distant point from the Sun, the planet is about twice as distant as Pluto. At its closest, it passes inside the orbit of Pluto.
