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 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.
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the 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.
Curiously, the nearer the planet is to the Sun the faster it orbits. Thus Mercury orbits the fastest, whereas Neptune is the slowest.
Mercury has the slowest revolution around the sun, taking about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit.
Pluto is the slowest planet to move around the sun, because of its far distance.
Sedna.
The speed of a planet revolving around the Sun is slowest at the aphelion, which is the point in its orbit farthest from the Sun.
Mercury is the fastest moving planet around the sun. It is second slowest to rotate about its axis, Venus being the slowest.

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.)
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.
As the planet approaches perihelion (point of nearest approach to the Sun), its orbital velocity gets faster, and it is fastest at perihelion. Similarly, at aphelion (point of furthest approach to the Sun), the orbital velocity is slowest.
