gas giants
Neptune is the furthest away of the eight official planets. There is no particular reason for that, but one of them has to be the furthest and it happens to be called Neptune.
It's because they are the furthest distance from the Sun. The other four are called the inner planets because they are the closest.
Yes it is. outer planets are called Gas giants, while inner planets are called Terrestrial planets. Pluto would be the answer, but its so small that its basically not a planet.
The order of the outer planets, from closet to the sun to furthest away from the sun, is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, then Neptune.

Of the inner planets Mars is furthest from the sun.

The four furthest planets from the sun are the gas giants; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (being the furthest planet out). There are some dwarf planets beyond Neptune though, including Makemake, Sedna and Pluto.
Aphelion. The furthest point of any orbiting body is called the apoapsis, with the closest approach being called the periapsis or pericentre, though for different bodies, unique derivitive terms are used. For example, when we talk of object in orbit about the Earth we use perigee and apogee for closest and furthest positions. When we are talking about objects in orbit around the sun, such as the planets, we use perihelion and aphelion for closest and furthest approches.
Mars is the fourth planets from the sun and the furthest of the four inner planets.
Within our solar system, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are.
