Do planets revolve faster or slower when they are close to the sun?
They move faster.
Which planets will orbit faster or slower?
Neptune is the slowest and mercury is the fastest
Is mars faster are slower than earth when you orbit around the sun?
Mars takes longer to make one orbit of the sun. Its slower, and it also has further to go. Planets orbiting speeds get slower the further you go out.
Do the other planets spin?
All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.
Does the earth move at a constant rate around the sun?
No. Earth moves in an ellipse around the Sun; when it is closest to the Sun (at its periapsis, in January), it moves faster, and when it is furthest from the Sun (at its apapsis), it moves slower.

Why do the planents closest to the sun revolve faster than the planents further away?
Its not necessarily that the closer planets are travelling faster. 1. The farther planets have a lot more mass, so they're likely to move a bit slower. 2. They are much farther away so the suns gravity is not as powerful as it would be if they were closer. 3. Its mainly about the distance they have to travel. The distance around the sun for the closer planets is much smaller so they're bound to make a full revolution much faster.

Why do the outer planets revolve around the sun slower?
There is less gravitational pull.
Why do planets take different times to revolve around the sun?
The planets in our solar system all orbit (revolve) around the sun on a plane called the ecliptic plane but each of their individual orbits has a different perimeter ranging from small (which would be the closest to the sun) to big (which would be further away from the sun). Since Mercury has the smallest perimeter of orbit, it is the closest planet to the sun and is thus more drawn by the suns gravitational force, both its small perimeter and strong gravitational pull make it revolve around the sun faster, and the bigger the planets orbital perimeter is the further away from the sun it is and the slower its orbit is.
Why do the inner planets rotate on their axis's slower compared to that of the outer planets?
Since the inner planets are composed mainly of rocks, they are heavier, and rotate slower.
Does the computer run slower if the machine runs faster?
No If the computer runs faster then it runs faster not slower
What is longest piece in the planets by Holst?
The slower movements of "The Planets" are all longer than the faster ones. The fifth movement, "Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age," besides being slower, has a coda that makes it the longest of all.
