At its aphelion, the point furtherest from its primary while in orbit.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Pluto is the slowest planet to move around the sun, because of its far distance.
Planets travel slowest at their aphelion – the point in their orbit farthest from the sun. This is when they are moving at their slowest speed due to the effect of gravity.
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.
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.)
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
