Which planet takes about 248 earth days to orbit around the sun-it has the greatest distance to travel around the sun?
You're talking about Pluto. But the correct figure is 248 earth-years, not days.
Does the closest planet to the sun have the shortest orbit?
Yes. The closer an object is to the Sun, the shorter the distance it has to travel to get around it.
What is is called when you travel around the sun or planet?
When you travel around the Sun or a planet, due to gravitational attraction, it is called an "orbit". It is also a "revolution" around the Sun or planet.
Which planet takes 1 year to travel around the world?

What is the relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and it's year?
It's distance - the further it is from the Sun the further it has to travel.
What planet has the smallest distance to travel around the sun?
Mercury. The planet that has the smallest distance to travel around the Sun is the planet that is also the smallest planet. This planet is named like many other planets for a Greek god. It was first discovered many years ago and is only separated from Earth by Venus. It is usually farther away from Earth than the planet Mars which is the fourth planet from the Sun. Earth is third. Venus is second. All four or these planets are composed mainly of solids as opposed to the next four planets (the "gas giants") Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus (lol).

Yes the closer to the Sun a planet is the shorter is its Revolution (orbit), as it has less distance to travel to go round once.
Why inner planet take shorter time revolution around the sun?
The reason why inner planet take shorter time to revolve around the sun is because since they are closer to the sun they don't have to go through a great distance to complete a full orbit where as neptune is far away and has a greater distance to travel.
What is the name of the star that the planet travel around?
sol!!

No. Alpha centaurii or Proxima centaurii (Proxima=Closest in Latin) is the closest star to earth except the sun, with an approx. distance of 4.28 lightyears (the distance that light can travel in 4.28 years). so alpha centaurii is a star not a planet. if it has planets orbiting around it is unknown.
