Pluto's highly elliptical orbit sometimes brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. Though it should be noted that since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the furthest planet from the sun is Neptune.
Sedna is the most distant solar system object discovered so far. It is about three times farther away than Pluto currently is. Because it is so far away, scientists are not sure if it has enough mass to be classified as a dwarf planet.
The planet often associated with the underworld is Pluto. In Roman mythology, Pluto is the god of the underworld, ruling over the realm of the dead. This connection is reflected in the name of the dwarf planet, which was classified as the ninth planet in our solar system until its reclassification in 2006. The association highlights the dark and distant nature of Pluto in both mythology and astronomy.
There were a total of nine planets in the solar system when Pluto was considered a planet.
Mercury is the smallest of the 8 "major planets" with about 5.5% of the mass of Earth. It is smaller but more massive than the largest moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Pluto is now considered a "dwarf planet" along with the asteroid Ceres and three other very distant Kuiper Belt objects.
No. Its not even the biggest dwarf planet.
Pluto, it is now a dwarf planet or planetoid.
In 1930, Pluto was considered to be the ninth planet from the Sun.But, after the discovery of similar worlds deeper in the distant of the Kuiper Belt, icy Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet. Which meant that Pluto was demoted (a very controversial decision) and was no longer considered a planet in our solar system, which I think was a shame.
No, there are a lot of objects more distant than Pluto. Sedna, probably a dwarf planet, has an aphelion of about 31 times the distance of Neptune. Long period comets are thought to be even further out. The Oort cloud, which is part of the solar system, lies at its edge at 50,000 AUs distant.

Acually Pluto is a Dwarf planet.
Pluto used to be the outermost planet, except that sometimes it became Neptune because Pluto's elliptical orbit is far from circular. From 1979 to 1999 Neptune was the farthest planet from the Sun and remains the farthest from the Sun today, because Pluto us no longer defined as a planet.

The most distant planet in our solar system is Neptune. It is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun, with an average distance of about 4.5 billion kilometers (2.8 billion miles) from the Sun. Neptune is a gas giant, similar in composition to Uranus, and it has a blue color due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere.

You are associated with the dwarf planet Pluto, which is named after you in Roman mythology. Pluto is often linked to the underworld due to its dark and distant nature in the solar system. In Greek mythology, Hades is the equivalent of Pluto, ruling over the realm of the dead.
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system after Pluto.
