By tracking Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecrafts beyond 20 AU, constant and uniform acceleration of the order of \(10^{-9}\text{ms}^{-2}\) towards the Sun has been detected in their motion. Therefore, modified theories of gravity have been proposed. In this paper the author tries to find any discrepancy in the motion of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and in the ranging data of Voyager 2 when it encountered Uranus and Neptune. However, it is concluded that there is not any discrepancy in their motion.
