                                       This is the size
                                      of the Earth when compared
                                                            to Neptune which is about
                                                            6 and a half times larger
                                                            in diameter than the Earth
 

Neptune can sometimes be the farthest planet from the Sun because Pluto's orbit sometimes takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune.
