Pluto was considered the farthest planet until September 13th, 2006 when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. But the correct answer would be neptune -goober;P
The planet that was farthest from the Sun from February 7, 1979 until February 11, 1999 was Uranus. Though Pluto was considered the outermost planet in the solar system since its discovery, its highly elliptical orbit sometimes brought it closer to the Sun than Uranus.
Pluto used to be the outermost planet, except that sometimes it became Neptune because Pluto's elliptical orbit is far from circular. From 1979 to 1999 Neptune was the farthest planet from the Sun and remains the farthest from the Sun today, because Pluto us no longer defined as a planet.
2300 Km in its outermost ringed structures (Smith etal, 1999. Science)
Neptune's orbit is more elliptical than Pluto's, causing their orbits to sometimes intersect. From 1979 to 1999, Neptune's elliptical orbit brought it closer to the sun than Pluto, making Neptune the farthest planet from the sun during that time.
From 1979 to 1999, Pluto was closer to the Sun than Neptune, making Pluto the eighth planet from the Sun during that time frame.
In our solar system the outermost planet 'til March 1999 was considered the same as the outermost planet after March 1999 - it was Pluto. In 2006, the IAU reclassified Pluto as a minor or dwarf planet and no longer a true planet - this demotion meaning Neptune would thereafter be considered the outermost planet in our solar system. It is of course possible there is a planet out there not yet discovered, which is in solar orbit, and large enough, in which case its distance might qualify it as 'outermost'.

Neptune
On February 11, 1999, Pluto resumed its position as the outermost planet in our solar system, surpassing Neptune. This event happens due to Pluto's orbit, which is elliptical and not always within Neptune's orbit.
Mercury has always been the closest planet to the Sun and unless a little rogue planet slipped in between, during 1999, then Mercury is still the closest to the Sun
Pluto's orbit had finished it cut throught Neptune's Orbit.
it used to vary between neptune and Pluto due to plutos unusual orbit. but since Pluto was declared not a planet. it is neptune.
With Pluto now regarded as a dwarf planet, the answer is Neptune. There are times when Pluto's orbit takes it inside Neptune for about 20 years at a time out of its 248 year orbit, as it did from 1979 to 1999. So even when Pluto was considered a planet, it wasn't always the furthest away from the Sun.
