No - each of the planets in our solar system travels a greater distance, the further they are away. For example, Pluto is 1,000 times further away from the sun than Mercury. Pluto (the outer-most planet) takes 246 years to orbit the sun once. Mercury (closest to the sun) takes just 88 days !
What else can I help you with?
Why does a planets distance from the sun change?
To be in a perfect orbit around the Sun, maintaining always the same distance, at a specific distance a planet would need a very specific speed. Since it is unlikely that it just happens to have the correct speed, it will move around the Sun in an ellipse instead.
Can two planets share the same orbital path around a star?
Only under once circumstance: a binary planet. In the case of a binary planet, two planets will revolve about their common center of mass and travel around their star together. The configuration is much like that of a planet with a large moon.
Is orbital radius the same as distance from the sun?
No, orbital radius and distance from the Sun are not always the same. The orbital radius refers to the average distance of an object in orbit around the Sun, such as a planet, from the Sun. However, because orbits can be elliptical, the actual distance from the Sun can vary at different points in the orbit, being closer at perihelion and farther at aphelion.
Why is Jupiter moving slower than earth around the sun?
Jupiter is farther away from the sun and has less gravitational pull from it than earth , if it went faster it would leave the solar system. and it is because it is the biggest planet on earth so it needs more force to move it around faster
What is the point at which a planet is at its smallest distance from the sun in its orbit?
All the planets orbit in a perfect circle, so they always stay the same distance from the sun, except Pluto, which is why it is now a "Dwarf Planet".
If a planet had two moons and one moon was twice as far from the planet as the other which moon would complete an orbit of the planet first?
The moon closer to the planet would complete an orbit first because it has a smaller orbit, which means it has a shorter distance to travel around the planet compared to the moon that is farther away.
Do the planets travel at the same speed?
No, planets do not all travel at the same speed. The speed at which a planet moves in its orbit around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and its mass. Closer planets tend to move faster than those further away.
Does a smaller screwdriver travel greater distance than a larger screwdriver?
No, even if going around in a circle is counted, the distance is the same.
How far is it if a person wnted to travel around the earth in 24 hours?
It's the same distance no matter how long takes you. The distance is 24,901 miles.

If two planet's of same mass revolving around the same body at distance a and b respectively are in front of each other after how much time they are again come in front of each other?
If two planet's of same mass revolving around the other body at the distance a and b respectively bus more than a and in front of each other then after how much time they will again come in front of each other
What does Pluto need to be able to support life?
Oxygen and the "planet" needs to be closer to the sun as well, around the same distance that Earth and Mars is to the sun.
Does Speed increase as distance increases for the same time?
If you travel less distance in the same time, you are traveling slower.
Can two planets share the same orbital path around a star?

Will a bus and a car travel the same distance at a same speed in same time?
Yes. Time is a function of distance and speed, and independent of the method of achieving that speed over the distance. time = distance ÷ speed
What is the center of the planet?
It's the part that is the same distance from all points on the surface.
Where Uranus is in the solar system?
Uranus is 7th planet out form the Sun in the solar system.mecuryvenusearthmarsjupitersaturnuranusneptuneUranus is at an average distance of about 19 AU from the Sun (19 times the distance Sun-Earth). The eight planets go around the Sun more or less in the same plane. The direction, of course, changes as Uranus moves around the Sun.
