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.

What is the outermost planet till march 1999?
In our solar system the outermost planet 'til March 1999 was considered the same as the outermost planet after March 1999 - it was Pluto. In 2006, the IAU reclassified Pluto as a minor or dwarf planet and no longer a true planet - this demotion meaning Neptune would thereafter be considered the outermost planet in our solar system. It is of course possible there is a planet out there not yet discovered, which is in solar orbit, and large enough, in which case its distance might qualify it as 'outermost'.
What is the most outer plane in the solar system?
Neptune is the outermost large planet in our solar system. However, the outermost known planet in our system, when including all classifications of planets, is Sedna, a dwarf planet.
It is the eighth planet sometimes nineth?
The outermost planet in our solar system, Neptune, is often referred to as the eighth planet. When Pluto was considered a planet (prior to 2006) during its orbit it would cross inside the orbit of Neptune making the latter the outermost planet.
Does Neptune exist?
Yes. Neptune is the outermost planet in the solar system.
Is Neptune an inner or outer planet?
Neptune is an outer planet. It is the outermost planet in the solar system.
What part of the earth is called lithosphere?
Lithosphere is the outermost shell of a rocky planet.
What planet is the innermost planet among the outermost planet?
Jupiter

The outermost region of a planet's atmosphere
What is the outermost solid portion of the planet earth?
The crust.

Yes. Neptune is the outermost planet in the solar system.
Is Neptune inner or outer because it is located?
It is the outermost planet.
What is a flat part of the earth called?
The lithosphere is the rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it comprises the crust and the portion of the upper mantle
Which planet is nearer Pluto?
Neptune is now considered the outermost planet, Pluto is the next one but it is no longer considered a planet.
