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.

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.


When does a planet move slowest in its orbit?

A planet moves slowest in its orbit when it is farthest away from the body it is orbiting, which is known as its aphelion. This is due to Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that a planet will move slower when it is farther from the body it orbits.


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 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.


Which planet moves around the sun at the slowest speed of any planet?

Sedna.


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.


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.


The speed of a planet in its elliptical orbit around 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.


When is the speed of a planet revolving around the Sun be the slowest?

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.


When a planet is farthest from the sun what is the speed of it's orbit?

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.


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.


Planets travel slowest at the?

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.
