What planet takes the longest to orbit the sun after neptune?
Of the 8 planets, Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total. There are Dwarf planets and other bodies yet to be confirmed as dwarf planets, which are further out from the sun than Neptune. Pluto in one such dwarf planet, which takes 248 years to complete one orbit. Eris is the furthest of the five dwarf planets though, this takes 557 years to make one orbit of our sun. There is also Sedna, not currently classed as a dwarf planet, but it is thought to be one by many. Sedna's furthest point in orbit away from sun) is estimated to be 960 astronomical units (32 times Neptune's distance), while its closest apprach is 76 astronomical units (AU). It is though to take around 11,400 years to make one orbit of our sun.
What orbits stars?
Stars orbit the center of their galaxy due to gravity. In our solar system, planets orbit around the Sun in elliptical orbits. Additionally, binary star systems have stars that orbit around each other.
What orbits around the sun and the objects?
Planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets all orbit around the sun in our solar system. Moons also orbit around planets and some dwarf planets in the solar system.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
What is the smallest known dwarf planet?
The smallest known dwarf planet in our solar system is Ceres. It is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and is the only dwarf planet located in the inner solar system.
Are dwarf planets in orbit around the Sun?
Yes.

What makes a planet be classified as a dwarf planet instead of a moon?
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.
Are there 8 planets and 3 dwarf planets?
Following the August 24, 2006 reclassification of Pluto as a "dwarf planet", there are 8 actual planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) and (as of January 2009) 5 dwarf planets (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris). As of January, 2009, the orbit of another dwarf candidate (Sedna) is still being verified.
What is sedna and how can be the scientist prove that sedna is a new planet or just the moon of Pluto?
Sedna is a dwarf planet. It is to far away to be one of plutos moons and is proved to orbit the sun
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
What do tiny planets orbit?
Like larger planets, dwarf planets also orbit the sun.
Three dwarf planets?
The solar system has three classified dwarf planets. They are Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. A dwarf planet has sufficient mass, has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is in orbit around a star.
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
What is the smallest known dwarf planet?
The smallest known dwarf planet in our solar system is Ceres. It is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and is the only dwarf planet located in the inner solar system.
