Neptune takes about 16 hours to complete one rotation on its axis. This rapid rotation contributes to its dynamic atmosphere and strong winds. In contrast, Neptune takes approximately 165 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Neptune has completed MANY orbits around the Sun since its formation. However, an interesting note is that since its "discovery" in September of 1846, it has not yet completed one orbit, which takes 164.8 Earth years. This will occur in June, 2011.
20 years
Pluto's orbit remains inside Neptune's orbit for about 20 years out of its 248-year orbital period. This phenomenon occurs due to the unique orbital characteristics of Pluto and Neptune.
Neptune takes about 165 Earth years to orbit the Sun. That's one Neptune "year" of course. Neptune's "day" is about 16 hours and 6 minutes ( 16.1 hours). That's the time it takes to spin on its axis once. From that you can work out how many Neptune days the orbit takes, if you want. I make it to be about 89838 "Neptune days". You can say Neptune "year" and Neptune "day", but the terms "week" and "month" are normally only used for planet Earth. Also when I've used "hour" in this answer I mean an Earth hour. This is normal in books on astronomy.
It takes Neptune 165 Earth years to circle the Sun ONCE. The amount of time it takes for any planet to circle the sun is one year. Its year is longer because it is further away. Its orbit is much larger than Earth's.
