Which planet would have the slowest or longest orbit around the sun?

Neptune has the slowest and longest orbit. It has a radius of 30 astronomical units (i.e. 30 times as far as the Earth), and it takes 165 years to go round once. So it has been round almost exactly once since it was discovered in 1846.
It was discovered officially on September 24 1846, and it completed its first revolution since discovery on June 30 2011.

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 planet travels the slowest around earth?
There are no planets in orbit around the Earth !. Orbiting the Sun - Pluto has the longest orbital period at 248 years - although it has now been declassified as a planet. This leaves Neptune - with an orbital period of just under 165 years.
Which planet take the longest time to make 1 revolution around the sun?
Technically, since Pluto is no longer a planet, but a dwarf planet, Uranus is the planet that takes the longest to orbit the sun.
Which planet takes the longest time to once around the sun?
Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total.
Which planet revolves very slowly around thesun?
Planets do not revolve around the Sun, they orbit. The planet which orbits slowest is Neptune at about 165 earth years per orbit [Pluto is a dwarf planet and orbits approximately once every 248 earth years].
Which planet has the slowest orbit why?

The further a planet is from the gravitational pull of the sun, the slower it will move tangentially.
Which planet would orbit around the sun the slowest?
Neptune. (Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but, rather, a dwarf planet.)
What planet moves around sun the slowest?
Neptune would move the slowest. The orbit speed is related to the distant the planets are to the sun. Farther the planet, slower the pace. Remember, Pluto is no longer a planet.
What planet travels the slowest around earth?
There are no planets in orbit around the Earth !. Orbiting the Sun - Pluto has the longest orbital period at 248 years - although it has now been declassified as a planet. This leaves Neptune - with an orbital period of just under 165 years.
Which planet orbits the Sun slowest?
If you still consider Pluto to be a planet then Pluto would be the slowest to orbit the sun. If you don't believe Pluto is a planet anymore then Neptune would be the slowest planet to orbit our sun.
Which planet moves the slowest in its orbit?
Orbital speed is determined by the mass of the body and the distance from the sun. Given its extreme distance, Pluto has the slowest orbit. However, Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but instead a planetoid. Therefore Neptune now has the slowest orbit.
When does a planet move slowest in its orbit?
At its aphelion, the point furtherest from its primary while in orbit.
Slowest spinning planet?
Venus is the slowest planet with a rotational speed of 243 Earth days equaling one Venusian day.
Which planet take the longest time to make 1 revolution around the sun?
Technically, since Pluto is no longer a planet, but a dwarf planet, Uranus is the planet that takes the longest to orbit the sun.
Slowest traveling planet?
The farther a planet is from the sun, the slower it moves in its orbit. So the planet with the largest orbit is the slowest. That's Pluto ... if you still consider Pluto a planet ... or Neptune if you don't.
What are slowest to fastest planet to orbit the sun?
Curiously, the nearer the planet is to the Sun the faster it orbits. Thus Mercury orbits the fastest, whereas Neptune is the slowest.
What planet do you think would revolve around the sun slowest?
Of the eight planets (not counting the dwarf planet Pluto), the slowest would be Neptune - which is the furthest out. The further out you go, the slower and longer a planet takes to orbit the sun. Mercury orbits at around 48km/sec, Earth 30km/sec and Neptune 5.43 km/sec, taking 165 years to make the orbit.
