No, Pluto is not the fastest planet to orbit the Sun. Mercury holds that title as it has the shortest orbital period of about 88 Earth days. Pluto, on the other hand, takes about 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.

Pluto is the furthest planet from the Sun, and therefore has the largest distance to travel in order to complete a full revolution around the Sun. Because it has to cover the longest distance, it takes the most time to do so.
