This distance varies every day as Saturn and Pluto take up different positions in their respective orbits.

Neptune is the planet that typically lies between Pluto and Uranus. However, during some parts of it's orbit, Pluto will be closer to the sun than Neptune is (i.e. Neptune is no longer between Uranus and Pluto; instead, Pluto is between Uranus and Neptune).In fact, as of February 11th, 1999, Pluto passed Neptune, thereby making Neptune the furthest planet from the Sun. Neptune will continue to be the further than Pluto until April 5th, 2231.
In the solar system, that planet is Neptune. Actually no, it's Pluto. Lying in what is known as the Kuiper Belt, it is 7.4 billion km away from the Sun at it's furthest point of orbit, and was discovered in 1930 by the astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh. So, is the right answer "Neptune" or "Pluto"? I say it's Neptune because Pluto was "demoted" to "dwarf planet" status in 2006. Pluto is not considered a true planet now by most astronomers.
Uranus and Neptune, although Pluto's orbit sometimes goes inside Neptune's orbit.

The orbit of Pluto crosses that of Neptune and so it is possible for the distance between the two to be very small. At their furthers, the distance is close to 12 billion km.

Neptune is the eighth and furthest planet from the Sun.

Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than Neptune's and at times it can come closer to the sun than Neptune. However, overall, Neptune is much closer to the sun in its average distance from the sun compared to Pluto.
The distance between Neptune and Pluto varies as they orbit the Sun, but on average it is about 2.7 billion miles (4.4 billion kilometers). With current technology, a spacecraft traveling at the speed of New Horizons (about 36,373 mph or 58,540 km/h) would take approximately 85 years to reach Neptune from Pluto.
Since Pluto has a highly elliptical orbit, it can be between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, or it can be beyond the orbit of Neptune.
