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.
It was formerly Pluto, but an international council of astronomers voted that Pluto didn't technically fit into their new criteria to define a planet. Now, Neptune is considered the farthest planet from the sun.
As Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet, Neptune is now considered to be the outermost planet.
Actually its Pluto .
Neptune. It is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit (164.79 years in total), and has the largest orbit.
Pluto is the outermost planet. Some say that it is not considered a planet any more, so in that case it would be Neptune.
The Outer Planets, Gas Giants, or Jovian Planets are Jupiter, Saturn. Uranus, and Neptune. Uranus and Neptune are also called the "Ice Giants."
the Heliosphere
In our solar system, Neptune is.
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'.
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.
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.
Yes. Neptune is the outermost planet in the solar system.
Neptune is an outer planet. It is the outermost planet in the solar system.
Lithosphere is the outermost shell of a rocky planet.

The outermost region of a planet's atmosphere
The crust.
Yes. Neptune is the outermost planet in the solar system.
It is the outermost planet.
The lithosphere is the rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it comprises the crust and the portion of the upper mantle
Neptune is now considered the outermost planet, Pluto is the next one but it is no longer considered a planet.
