No, Neptune orbits around the Sun.
Neptune's orbit and Uranus' orbit are never meeting, but Pluto and Neptune do have their orbits cross. :)
Only Uranus and Neptune take longer than Saturn to orbit the Sun. Uranus has an orbital period of about 84 years, while Neptune takes around 165 years to complete an orbit.
Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus. These discrepancies suggested the gravitational influence of another planet beyond Uranus, leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.
Neptune's orbit is farthest from Earth's orbit.
It takes Uranus 84.01 earth years. Neptune 164.80. And Pluto 248.00 years.

In the traditional diagram of the Solar System Uranus is before Neptune. In reality, the planets are not in a line but at different points around the Sun as they orbit it, so it is the path of Uranus's orbit that lies before Neptune.
It was because of anomalies un Uranus' orbit that Neptune was discovered.
Neptune's orbit is farthest from Earth's orbit.
Saturn is in the next inner orbit, and Neptune is the next outer.
62 moons orbit Saturn, 67 orbit Jupiter, 5 orbit Pluto, 14 orbit Neptune, and 27 orbit Uranus.
It takes Uranus 84.01 earth years. Neptune 164.80. And Pluto 248.00 years.
Uranus and Neptune, although Pluto's orbit sometimes goes inside Neptune's orbit.
Neptune was discovered in 1846 through observations of Uranus. Uranus' orbit was seen to appear to alter slightly through the gravitational effect of another planet, which turned out to be Neptune.
Neptune is the only planet that takes longer than Uranus to orbit the Sun.
