Why does Pluto take so long to orbit the Sun?
Plutos Orbits length is unusually longer than other planets orbits.But its width is shorter than Neptunes orbit. So at one point in Plutos orbit it is closer to the sun than Neptune. Its estimated time to orbit is around 250 years
Which planet takes the longest time to once around the sun?
Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total.
Why did neptune become the farthest planet from 1979 to 1999?
Plutos orbit is highly eccentric - during one rotation of the sun its distance from the sun can vary considerably. For 20 years of each of its orbit - a small fraction, it is closer to the sun than Neptune, which has much more of a regular orbit. Neptune is now the furthest planet again as of 2006. This time its for another reason - Pluto is no longer classed as a planet, but is instead a Dwarf Planet.
Which planets had the longest time to orbit the sun?
Depends on whether or not you call Pluto a Planet. If so, yes Pluto. Which takes around 248 earth days to orbit the sun. If not, it's Neptune. Which takes 165 earth days to orbit the sun.
Which planet has the slowest orbit why?
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.

What is sedna and how can be the scientist prove that sedna is a new planet or just the moon of Pluto?
Sedna is a dwarf planet. It is to far away to be one of plutos moons and is proved to orbit the sun
Year is longest on which planet?
Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total.
What was Columbus's longest trip before 1492?
His third voyage was the longest one. :)

Which planet takes the longest time to orbit the sun?
IN our solar system, the planet Neptune takes the longest. Or, if you want to include Pluto, Pluto. Or, if you want to include ALL of the "dwarf planets", then Eris (a.k.a. "Xena") takes the longest.
What is unique about Plutos orbit around the sun?
All of the 8 planets that orbit the Sun are in the same general plane. That is that they are all flat. Pluto's orbit is not flat like the rest of the planets. It is like it got caught while passing by. Some think that it is a burned out comet. It is a dwarf planet, no longer considered to be a real planet.

Earth is one of the planets that orbit the sun?
Yes, it is the third nearest and the most habitable zone in the solar system.
How many rivers are named Clyde in the world?
Only one. The River Clyde is a river in Scotland. It is the ninth longest river in the United Kingdom, and the third longest in Scotland.
