Pluto is not a planet.
There is a neat picture at the link below.
The picture states:
This lineup shows the 12 planets that were proposed last week, with a wedge of the sun at far left. Ceres, Pluto, Charon and 2003 UB313 are barely visible. Now Charon will continue to be considered Pluto's satellite, and the three other worlds will be dubbed "dwarf planets" rather than full-fledged planets. The planets are drawn to scale, but without correct relative distances.

Pluto the rock formerly called planet has a different orbit than the rest of the planets so sometimes Neptune is farther from the sun.
ps don't worry in about 50 years, pluto will be a planet again.

No, we will overlook that Pluto is now a "dwarf" planet, because actually as the years or so go by the orbit of Neptune goes out further then the orbit of Pluto.

Pluto is not a planet this could be a trick question. But if your teacher does not care the answer is no. Neptune and Pluto cross paths and Neptune becomes the outmost planet. But still be sure this is not a trick question

First - Pluto is no longer a planet
Secondly, no, it is not always most distant. Check out the orbits of Pluto and Neptune and you'll see why.
