The movement around the Sun is called "revolution", not "rotation". It takes Neptune almost 165 years for one revolution.The movement around the Sun is called "revolution", not "rotation".

Rotation . . . . . the "Day" Revolution . . . . the "Year"
1.6783 milaseconds in days x4
Rotation- 10 hours and 39 minutes Revolution- 29.5 Earth years
Neptune's rotation period about axis is 17.24 hours, while Neptune's revolution period about the Sun is 165 years.
Rotation is the time needed for a planet to rotate around itself or axis Revolution is time needed to orbit aroung the Sun. For example Earth rotation is 24 hours and its revolution is 365 dayz.Rotation is used to denote the turning of a body on its axis.I.e. The rotational period of Neptune is 16 hours, as opposed to that of Earth which is 24 hours.Revolution is used to denote the movement of one body around another.I.e. The Moon makes a complete revolution about the Earth about every 27 days.
because it does
Rotation: 23 hours and 56 minutes. Revolution: A year. About 365 1/4 days.
The orbit time for Neptune is slow.... 164.79 years!!! And just to let you know the rotation period is about 16 hours.
