Neptune was, and now due to the redefinition of what we call a planet, still is the farthest planet from the sun.

Pluto (depending on whether you want to consider it a planet or not) is usually the furthest planet from the sun, although it crosses Neptune's orbit for a span of 20 of its nearly 248-Earth-year orbit. Pluto last crossed Neptune's orbit on Jan. 23, 1979, and remained within it until Feb. 11, 1999.

umm...your mom? haha just kidding. Well based on the orbit of these planets, it flucctuates between pluto and neptune. but of course now with the sad news pluto isnt a planet, neptune will remain the farthest planet from the sun.

Pluto for a time actually ventures closer to the sun than Neptune, because of the eccentricity of it's orbit; from (I thought it was) 1990 through 2010 or 2011, the furthest planet out is Neptune.

Hmm, sounds like a trick question. Usually Pluto is (was) farthest, but sometimes it's Neptune.

There is this object after Pluto. I don't know if that is a planet or just a satellite (moon).
