What planet moves around sun the slowest?

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.


Which planet has the slowest orbit why?

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.


Which planet orbits the Sun slowest?

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.


Which planet moves the slowest in its orbit?

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.


Slowest traveling 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.


What are slowest to fastest planet to orbit 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.


Which planet would orbit around the sun the slowest?

Neptune. (Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but, rather, a dwarf planet.)


What planet moves around the sun at the slowest speed of ant planet?

Pluto is the slowest planet to move around the sun, because of its far distance.


Slowest spinning planet?

Venus is the slowest planet with a rotational speed of 243 Earth days equaling one Venusian day.


What planet moves through the background of stars most slowly?

The planet that has the slowest orbit would be Neptune due to the fact that is is furthest away from the sun. However, if you want to count dwarf planets, then Eris would be the slowest.


What happens when a planet moves closer to the sun?

That planet will move faster in its orbit.


What happen to the planet's orbit if there is no sun?

There would be no orbit. You have to have a body to orbit around and without a star or other planet to orbit around, it would just move in a straight line.
