Among our sun's planets, Neptune enjoys that distinction. If we include dwarf planets, then Eris makes the longest journey (so far). We will likely discover icy bodies as big as Eris even further away.

How does the distance affect the time it takes a planet to orbit?
Yes. The grater the distance, the longer an object takes to orbit.
What are EITHER OF two points on the orbit of a planet of greatest or least distance from the central body?
Apsis
Where does a comet have the most potential energy?
At its aphelionThe aphelion is the point in the orbit of a planet or comet that is at the greatest distance from the sun.
Point in planet's orbit where the planet reaches its maximum distance from the Sun?
The point in a planet's orbit where it reaches its maximum distance from the Sun is called the Aphelion.
Which planet has the slowest orbit why?
Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total. Its distance means that is has further to go to complete one orbit, while it also means that the planet travels the slowest. The further a planet is from the gravitational pull of the sun, the slower it will move tangentially.
What is the point at which a planet is the greatest distance from the sun in its orbit?
The Apex

Aphelion

What is the name given to the path along which a planet travels?
Orbit
What planet is the imaginary path that the planet travels on around the sun?
mercury. I think you mean "Orbit".
What does the size of the orbit of a planet depend on?
The planet's depends on the distance of the planet from the sun
Will the greatest difference in seasons occur on a planet that has a circular orbit?
The greatest difference in seasons will occur on a planet that has a circular orbit. This is because winds are created this way.
