Although Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun, it travels in a fixed orbit around the Sun and never changes its path. What is the reason for this?

Answer:

The reason is due to gravitational pull of Sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neptune along with other seven planets orbit around the sun in elliptical path.

Being farthest planet from the sun it remains in its fixed orbit and never changes or gets deflected from its path. This is because of the large size of sun which exerts strong gravitational pull on Neptune planet due to which it remain in its orbit.
