Answer

Neptune has the farthest average distance from the Sun of the 8 major planets. Not only is its orbit vastly longer, but it also moves more slowly in that orbit, because the reduced gravitational attraction of the Sun requires it to have comparatively less orbital momentum to counteract it. Neptune takes about 164.8 Earth years to make one orbit of the Sun.

Neptune takes the longest to orbit the sun because it is the farthest away, and the farther away the longer it takes.
