I'm not sure if you want a more detailed answer than this, but the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete its orbit, since a complete orbit traverses far longer distances when a planet is far from the sun.
Although planetary orbits are actually elliptical, thinking of them as circles will simplify the principle involved: if the distance from the earth to the sun is a distance of one, and the distance from Jupiter to the sun is five, the "circular" orbit for the earth would be 2(pi)one = about 6.3 units, while the distance for the earth would be 2(pi)five = about 32 units.
The farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to make an orbit. It would take more than one year if the planet was farther away from the sun than Earth.
The length of time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is based on its distance from the sun, not its mass. The farther a planet is from the sun, the larger its orbital path, and the longer it takes to complete an orbit.
True. The length of time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is directly related to the distance of the orbit from the Sun.
The square of the time period of revolution is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance between the planet and its Sun. T2 α R3T = Time Period R = Length of the semi-major axis
This was worked out by Kepler about 400 years ago. Kepler's second law of planetary motion shows how a planet moves faster when it's nearer, in its elliptical orbit, to the Sun. Kepler's third law relates the time a particular planet takes to orbit the Sun to its average distance from the Sun. A planet which is farther from the Sun has a slower orbital speed than a planet closer to the Sun.
The farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to make an orbit. It would take more than one year if the planet was farther away from the sun than Earth.
Yes. The grater the distance, the longer an object takes to orbit.

A year is the time it takes to orbit the sun. Therefor the closer you are to the sun the smaller the orbit and the shorter the year
All 8 planets, including dwarf planet Pluto, orbit the Sun. As their distance from the Sun increases, the time it takes for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun increases as well.

True. The length of time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is directly related to the distance of the orbit from the Sun.
A planet year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one complete revolution in its orbit around the sun. The farther away from the sun a planet is, the larger its orbit. The larger its orbit, the longer (more days) it takes to go around the sun. Thus, the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its year will be.
Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total. Its distance means that is has further to go to complete one orbit, while it also means that the planet travels the slowest. The further a planet is from the gravitational pull of the sun, the slower it will move tangentially.
Neptune is the planet that takes the longest time to orbit our sun, in terms of time taken and distance. Pluto and some other dwarf planets take longer, but these are not considered to be one of the eight major planets in our solar system.

I would say no, but would welcome any thoughts from others on this. The time taken for an object to orbit around another mainly depends on the distance, the further out, the longer it takes. For a moon to be always behind the planet on its way round, its time taken to orbit the planet would have to be a similar length of time that the planet takes to orbit the parent star. So the orbiting moon would have to be as far away from the planet centre as the planets distance to the star centre, meaning that the moon is no longer chiefly affected by the planets gravity.
Planet Neptune takes the most time to orbit the sun, as it is the farthest away.
