Mercury's orbit would be, on average, 1.44 million miles (2.3 million km) if it orbited 96% closer than it does.
Mercury and Venus orbit the sun faster than Earth. Mercury has the shortest orbit at around 88 Earth days, while Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit.
Venus, farther from the Sun than Mercury, takes longer to orbit. the Sun.
The dwarf planet Pluto has a more eccentric orbit than Mercury. Pluto's orbit is highly elongated, meaning it is more eccentric, with a high eccentricity of about 0.24 compared to Mercury's eccentricity of 0.21.
the fastest planet that orbit's the sun is mercury.
Mercury is.
Mercury
Mercury has an eccentricity of about 0.206, which means its orbit is more elliptical than circular. This eccentricity causes Mercury's distance from the Sun to vary significantly during its orbit, leading to temperature extremes on the planet's surface.
yes because with out its orbit it would be as slow as a snail
Yes, it is
That's an interesting question! It would be very close to the sun, closer than Mercury with its 88 day orbit. The mass of this planet would come into play, but a rough estimate based on the other planets orbits would place it at around 30 million km from the sun, where mercury is 58 million km from the sun.
The two reasons why Mars takes longer to orbit the Sun than Mercury are its greater distance from the Sun and its slower orbital speed due to its larger orbit. Mercury is much closer to the Sun and has a shorter orbit around it compared to Mars.
