At their closest, distance between them is only 2.66 billion miles and at its most distant the two bodies 4.67 billion miles apart.
Explanation:
The planets in the solar system travel in elliptical orbits rather than perfect circles, and so the distance between them is constantly changing. At its most distant, when the two bodies (Earth and Pluto) are on the opposite sides of the sun from one another, Pluto lies 4.67 billion miles from Earth. They are at their closest when the two are on same side of Sun and distance is only 2.66 billion miles.
