The length of time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is based on its distance from the sun, not its mass. The farther a planet is from the sun, the larger its orbital path, and the longer it takes to complete an orbit.

Which planets take more than one year to orbit the sun?
All those planets which lie outside (relative to the sun) earth's orbit will take longer than earth (1 year) to orbit the sun. Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
What does massive mean?
A power plant requires massive amounts of water for cooling. The massive glacier continues to push down the mountainside. The Unted States sent massive aid to Haiti following the earthquake there.
Most known extrasolar planets are more massive than Jupiter because?
Current detection methods are more sensitive to larger planets
The Jovian planets are more massive but less dense than the terrestrial planets?
Yes, the large and more massive outer planets are made mainly from Hydrogen and Helium. They are less dense than the smaller terrestrial planets.
Do planets move around the sun circular in orbit?
Generally speaking, yes. It should be noted however that the outer planets have a more elliptic orbit (egg shaped).
What does massive?
Massive is planets that orbit the sun and have more mass
What massive mean?
Massive is planets that orbit the sun and have more mass
Which force is responsible for the orbit of the earth?
The Earth stays in its orbit under the force of gravity from the Sun, which is much more massive than all the planets.
More massive planets have more satellites why?
More massive planets have more gravitational pull. If a satellite were to pass by Earth and Jupiter at the same distance from each planet, the satellite would be more attracted to start orbiting Jupiter because of its pull. The more massive a planet is the more likely it is to get a satellite to orbit it.
Why are extrasolar planets more massive than earth?
Most of the known extrasolar planets are more massive than Earth because massive planets are easier to detect. We have detected planets smaller than Earth.
Why is Sun in the middle of every planet?
The sun is a thousand times more massive than all the planets combined. The planets all orbit the sun for this reason--due strictly because of its great mass.
Which planets take more than one year to orbit the sun?
All those planets which lie outside (relative to the sun) earth's orbit will take longer than earth (1 year) to orbit the sun. Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
What does massive mean?
A power plant requires massive amounts of water for cooling. The massive glacier continues to push down the mountainside. The Unted States sent massive aid to Haiti following the earthquake there.
What do Venus and Neptune have in common?
Venus and Neptune have a few things in common. Neither of these planets can support human life. Both of them orbit the Sun.
What makes the planets orbit the sun?
The sun is more than a thousand times as massive as all other matter in the solar system combined. It is the resulting solar gravity that keeps all the planets in their orbits.
Most known extrasolar planets are more massive than Jupiter because?
Current detection methods are more sensitive to larger planets
Does the mass of a planets seem to effect how many moons it has?
Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.
