Ignore this drivel I wrote when I awoke from my dogmatic slumbers. It's factually correct but substantially irrelevant to the post I was replying to. "There's no such thing as useless information"
The fact that it's in orbit around the Sun does not imply proximity. An object could be 50 AU or more from the sun and still be in orbit around it (like a comet). Pluto is around 40 AU. Last time I checked it was still orbiting our Sun. +ShrdlU+
