A calculation of how long it takes a planet to orbit the Sun would be most closely related to which Kepler's Law?
Kepler's 3rd law of planetary motion. It states that the square of a planets orbital period is proportional to the cube of a planets distance from a star.In mathematical notationTO2 = k*R03WhereTO = It's orbital periodRO = It's distance from the stark = A constant.
Why is there an order for the planets in your solar system?
There is not just one order. They can be ordered in terms of size, distance from the Sun, orbital period, amount of hydrogen in the atmosphere, and many more ways.
What effect has distance of a planet to the sun to its orbital period?
you are chicken
How does a planets mass effect its orbital period according to Kepler?
Not at all. The only thing that sets the orbital period is the semimajor axis, which is the average of the maximum and minimum distances from the Sun.
What planets orbit the sun from least orbit time to greater orbit time?
All 8 planets, including dwarf planet Pluto, orbit the Sun. As their distance from the Sun increases, the time it takes for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun increases as well. In order from shortest orbital period to longest orbital period:MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
The relationship between the average distance of a planet from the sun and the planets orbital period is described by what?
AUs
How does a planets orbital radius affect its orbital period?
Yes. T = (2pi / sqroot of GM) multiplied by the radius^3/2. A planets mass DOES NOT affect its orbital period. A planets radius DOES affect its orbital period.
Which of the planets orbital time is 7 times smaller than that of Uranus?
Jupiter's orbital period is only 1.53% less than1/7 the orbital period of Uranus.

What determines a planets orbital period?
This depends on the mass of the planet (and sun or star that it orbits around) and the distance between the two. See Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

What must you know in order to find out a planets period of revolution?
Orbital information. You need to know the size of the "semi-major axis". Then you can calculate the orbital period, using Kepler's Third Law.
Which two of the planet are closely related to their distance from the sun?
Temperature and orbital period.

Why does venus take 225 days to revolve around the sun and earth takes 365 days?
Because Venus has less distance to travel than the Earth and is travelling faster. With an orbital speed of 35.02 km/s and an orbital period of 224.70069 days gives an orbital distance of 679,883,169.35km The Earth has an orbital speed of 29.78 km/s (Slower than Venus) and an orbital period of 365.256 days gives an orbital distance of 939,800,765.95km
