Yes, some planets do take longer to rorbit around the sun. It takes earth 365 days, hence a year being 365 days. Saturn, the 6th planet from the sun, takes 10,759 earth days to orbit around the sun.
Yes, much farther. At its farthest point, Pluto is about 7.3 billion kilometers from the sun. By contrast, Sedna is 11 billion kilometers from the sun at its closest point and 140 billion kilometers away at its farthest.
Pluto is further from the Sun than Neptune.
a lot more
no
because its orbit was highly eccentric and used to intercede the orbit of Neptune. that is why Pluto is no more a part of our solar system as it collided with Neptune and exploded.
No, but their orbits do cross. Pluto's orbit is much more oval shaped, and is sometimes closer to the sun than Neptune, and sometimes farther away.
Pluto has a highly elliptical orbit which is at a steep angle to the ecliptic.The ecliptic is the plane that contains the sun's apparent motion through the skies from earth's point of view. Pluto is a K.O. (Kuyper Object, an object from the Kuyper Belt, more like an icy comet than an asteroid). It does travel within the orbit of Neptune for a few years out of its long orbit, but never in a way that will bring it crashing down onto Neptune. Pluto is locked into a special harmonic relationship with Neptune which prevents that from happening. For every 2 orbits of Pluto there are 3 orbits of Neptune. They are never close enough to collide. Pluto spends the vast majority of its orbital time in the Kuyper Belt, beyond Neptune's orbit.
Neptune has a longer year than Mercury. The closer to the sun a planet is, the faster the orbit and shorter the year. Neptune's orbital period (year) is a little under 165 Earth years. Mercury orbits the sun in just under 88 days.
Neptune is brighter than Pluto because it is larger and (usually) closer to earth. There isn't enough differences in the albedo or "reflectivity" of the two planets to offset Neptune's size advantage. Even when Pluto slides inside the orbit of Neptune, which the dwarf planet does during part of its orbit of the sun, its smaller size does not permit it to compete with Neptune for brightness. No effence but i need more of an answer than this
Neptune's orbit is more like Pluto's orbit, slightly tilted.

With Pluto now regarded as a dwarf planet, the answer is Neptune. There are times when Pluto's orbit takes it inside Neptune for about 20 years at a time out of its 248 year orbit, as it did from 1979 to 1999. So even when Pluto was considered a planet, it wasn't always the furthest away from the Sun.
No. Pluto's orbit is more than 4 times as larger and takes more than 8 times as long as Saturn's.
You are going for Neptune, but the orbital paths don't actually cross. Neptune and Pluto are never in danger of colliding. The eccentricity of Pluto's orbit keeps it away from Neptune's direct path even though Pluto is, for a time, closer to the sun. More importantly the two orbits are 'harmonically' related in such a way that there are exactly two orbits of Pluto for every three orbits of Neptune. This relationship guarantees that the bodies will never be close enough for a collision. Because of this harmonic relationship, some have argued that Pluto can be considered a moon of Neptune.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (which has been reclassified as a dwarf planet but its orbit remains the same). There is speculation of a tenth planet beyond the orbit of Pluto, and if it exists it would also take more time than Saturn to orbit the sun.
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than the major planets' orbits, and every time it goes round it spends some years inside Neptune's orbit.
It crosses another planet's orbital path. Since Pluto is not a planet, it does not matter. Comets always pass other planets' orbital paths. They are still called planets. Countless asteriods and comets orbits the sun and crosses every planets orbital path. Pluto is somewhat a part of them.There is something circular about the logic in the above answer; see discussion.Probably a stronger answer is the fact that even though a section of the orbit of Pluto comes within the orbit of Neptune, the harmonic relationship between the two bodies is such that they can never collide, barring some catastrophic event that alters one or both orbits. Neptune and Pluto are locked in this harmonic relationship where for every three orbits of Neptune there is exactly two orbits of Pluto. So Pluto cannot be seen as an object that Neptune must clear. Pluto is more like an unusual moon of Neptune.
