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.

Which planet would orbit around the sun the slowest?
Neptune. (Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but, rather, a dwarf planet.)
What type of front moves the slowest?
Warm front
What is the slowest land animal on Earth and what speed does it move?
the slowest animal only moves 10 Centimetres per minute
Which planet moves the most slowly in its orbit?
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
What type of front moves the fastest?
A cold front moves the fastest, and a stationary front moves the slowest. A cold front moves about 20 mph, while a stationary front moves very little.
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 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.
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 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.
When does a planet move slowest in its orbit?
At its aphelion, the point furtherest from its primary while in orbit.
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.
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.)
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.
Each planet moves in a different orbit and at a different?
Each planet moves in a different orbit, at a different average distance from the sun, and at a different speed.
What happens when a planet moves closer to the sun?
That planet will move faster in its orbit.
