How does the distance from the sun of a planet affect the planet’s orbitalvelocity?
Ciel Azon Paco
A planet's orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.

How does the planets distance from the sun affect the length of a day?
Not at all. The planet's daily rotation is independent of its distance from the Sun.
How does a planets distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
How does the planets distance from the sun affect its conditions?
The farther away from the sun the planet is, the more space it has to cover. Therefore, the planets distance from the sun whereas, if i am half the distance from Earth/Sun, that planet will get more energy. But if I am twice the distance from Earth/Sun, I will receive less energy.
Does a planet's distance from the sun affect it's density?
Very generally, the outer four planets are less dense than the four inner rocky planets, but it's more to do with planet type rather than their distance from the sun.
What is the distance from the planets?
the distance from the planets is 6.5 million miles between each planet.
How does the distance affect the time it takes the earth and the other planets to go around the sun?
it can affect the time bec. when the planet is near the sun it will rotates very fast than the other far planets....
What are the planets that affect gravity?
every planet
How does planet distance from the sun affect the period of revolution?
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect other characteristics of the planet?
It affects the characteristics of the planets by the highs and lows of the temperature of the planet. It also would affect, if there was, the life on the outer planets. If there were life on the outer planets, they would freeze. [Jupiter mostly heats itself by it's core. Jupiter was going to be a star, but it didn't weigh enough or wasn't hot enough to become a star.]
How does the distance of the sun affect the velocity of a planet?
From Kepler's laws it can be shown that the orbital speeds of the planets are proportional to the inverse square root of their distances from the Sun. Thus a planets at four times the distance would travel at half the speed.
Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?
The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.
What is the relation of the planet's temperature to it's distance?
if you are asking "what is the relation of the planet's temperature to it's distance from the sun" then the answer is: Planets closer to the sun tend to be warmer than planets further from the sun.
