Neptune is the gas giant furthest from the Sun and Kepler's third law tells us that the period of revolution of a planet around the sun increases as distance from the Sun increases. It does not matter if the planet is a gas giant or not. The law says period depends on distance and not mass.
It takes 60,190 days for Neptune to orbit the Sun which is about
165 Earth years. For that matter, one Neptune Year is 89,666 Neptune days.
If Pluto was still a planet, it would get the record for the longest year since it is, on the average, further than the other planets.
Pluto has an orbital period of 248 earth years. Since Pluto was discovered in 1930, it has only completed about 1/3 of a revolution.

Which inner planet takes the longest to orbit the sun?
Mars takes the longest of the inner planets.
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 planet takes the second longest time to orbit the sun?
Uranus
Why do planets orbit the sun longer than other planets do?
because the farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to make one orbit
What planet takes the longest amount of time to revolve around the sun?
which planet takes the longest time to revolve around the sun
Which inner planet takes the longest to orbit the sun?
Mars takes the longest of the inner planets.
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.
When do planets orbit a star?
When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.

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.
What planets in your solar system take the longest time to orbit the sun?
Neptune takes the longest
Which takes longest to orbit the sun?
As it's the furthest planet out, Neptune takes the longest to orbit our sun, taking some 165 years to do so.
The planet with the largest orbit?
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.
Which are these planets has the longest planetary year?
A planet's year is the time it takes to complete an orbit around the sun. So the planets with the longest years are the ones farthest from the sun. Pluto has the longest in our solar system, followed by Neptune, then Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and so on.
What planet takes the second longest time to orbit the sun?
Uranus
What planets orbit the sun from least orbit time to greater orbit time?
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. In order from shortest orbital period to longest orbital period:MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
What do you call the path to the planets takes what keeps the planets on this path?
The path a planet takes is called an orbit.The planets are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the star (in our case the Sun) they orbit.
