A planet year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one complete revolution in its orbit around the sun.
The farther away from the sun a planet is, the larger its orbit. The larger its orbit, the longer (more days) it takes to go around the sun. Thus, the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its year will be.
What else can I help you with?
Does a planet's distance from the sun affect the length of a year on that planet?
Yes, the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to go around the Sun.
True or false the length of a planet's year increases as its distance from the sun increases?
True. The length of time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is directly related to the distance of the orbit from the Sun.
How are the surface temp and length of year on a planet related to the planet's distance from the sun?
As a general rule, the surface temp will go down and the length of the planet's "year" will increase the farther it is from the sun. There are exceptions, but that is the general rule.
What is the relationship between a planet's distance fromm the sun and the length of its year?
The farther out, the longer the year.
What is the relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its year?
The distance a planet is from the sun influences its year length. Planets closer to the sun have shorter years because they travel a shorter distance to complete one orbit around the sun. Conversely, planets farther from the sun have longer years because they have a greater distance to travel in their orbit.
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect the length of its year?
the closer the smaller orbit (a year is one complete orbit) so the year is smaller
Is it true that the length of a year of a planet is proportional to its distance from the sun?
YES. However the relationship is not quite that simple. This is Kepler's third law. I'll give you a simplified version which assumes the planets orbits are circular, instead of being ellipses : The square of the length of the year is proportional to the cube of the planet's distance from the Sun.
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.
Is there a relationship between the length of planet's year and the distance of that planet from the sun?
Yes. A year is how long it takes for Earth to orbit (go the whole way around) the sun. So if it's further out, then it takes longer to orbit, thus a longer year.
What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
Is there a similar relationship between distance from the sun and the length of a day of a planet?
No because a day is how long it spins on it's axis not around the sun. But it kinda has a relationship to how long a year is on a planet. Because the farther away it is the bigger it's revolution around the sun is but it just depends on how fast it moves.
What is a planet year?
A year by definition is the time it takes a planet to orbit the Sun, therefore a planet year is different depending on what planet you are discussing. a planet closer to the Sun would have a shorter year (less distance to travel) whereas a planet farther from the Sun would have a longer year (more distance to travel)This is the time taken for the planet to orbit once around the sun. An earth year is still an earth year, regardless of what plaet you are on.The period of time that it takes for a planet in our solar system to make a complete revolution around the sun.As such due to their differing orbits this can vary considerably from an 88 day year for Mercury (approx. 1/4 of an Earth year) up to a 90,613 day year for Pluto (approx. 248 Earth years).
