Curiously, the nearer the planet is to the Sun the faster it orbits. Thus Mercury orbits the fastest, whereas Neptune is the slowest.
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.
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.
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
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.
The exact number depends on the individual planet, and the exact shape and eccentricity of its orbit. The one general statement that can be made for every planet is that when it's farthest from the sun, it's moving at the slowest speed relative to the sun of any point in its entire orbit.

Mercury is the fastest moving planet around the sun. It is second slowest to rotate about its axis, Venus being the slowest.

Because it is not that far from the sun and it is not that close to the sun
The earth is moving fastest in its orbit at the moment of perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. the happens around January 3.
the fastest planet that orbit's the sun is mercury.
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
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.

Neptune. (Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but, rather, a dwarf planet.)
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.
faster nearer to the sun, the sun has more pull to move it faster
