Best Answer

Pluto takes a long time to travel around the sun most simply because it has a long way to go. The path it takes is huge compared to Earth's orbit. If Earth is running on a 1/4-mile track, Pluto is jogging the 62 miles around Lake Winnepesaukee. It is also moving at about 1/5th the speed of Earth, because it is much smaller and farther away, which means the force of gravity is not acting on it very strongly.
