Since the sun is the sun, the sun is closest to the sun.
Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years. Neptune is closer to the sun but because of Pluto's elliptical orbit, Neptune is farther away form the sun for 20 years.

Earth is closer to the sun
Currently Neptune is closer to the sun, however Pluto can get closer when it's at the closest part of its orbit. Pluto was closer then Neptune about 10 years ago, but it currently heading out to the farther part of its orbit, and con't be closer than Neptune again for over 200 years.
Earth. Neptune is the farthest planet away. Since the Sun is totally far away, this makes Neptune closer to Earth. Its like " the sun, a couple of planets including Earth, and then Neptune".
Neptune would orbit at 111,920,000 miles if the orbit was 96% closer to the Sun.
Move it closer to the sun.
I am not sure where this questioner is coming from! Neptune if the furthest planet!
In about 2227 A.D., their orbits will cross and Pluto will be closer to the sun for 20 years. Then, the orbits will cross again and Neptune will be closer for 228 years.

No. It is Pluto. Pluto sometimes passes the orbit of Neptune to be closer to the Sun.
