How do you calculate a planet's mass when given orbital speed and distance from sun?

Neither of those numbers depends on the planet's mass.
So knowing them doesn't enable you to calculate it.

What is the closest distance between Venus and Earth?
When Venus is farthest from the Sun and Earth is at its closest, the distance between Venus and Earth can be as low as 39.5 million kilometers (23.6 million miles). The average distance between the planets' orbital distances is 41.4 million kilometers or about 25.7 million miles.Because the planets orbit at different speeds, the distance at any given time will be much larger, up to a maximum of about 261 million kilometers.
How do you calculate distance when given velocity and weight?
More information is needed.
This drawing is to scale it shows the distance between the planets than they actually are?
There needs to be a drawing before an answer can be given.
What planet is closer to the northern star?
On average, all planets in the Solar system are the same distance from the northern star. At any given time, some planets will technically be closer than others, but the difference is so small compared to the overall distance that they might as well be the same.
What is the distance between planet earth and planet Kepler?
There is no planet Kepler. Designations such as Kepler-69c are given to planets discovered by the Kepler spacecraft. This spacecraft has discovered planets ranging from 100 to 7,000 light years away.

How are planets farther from the sun different?
The "outer planets" (gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are more massive and spin faster than the inner planets. Although their distance from the Sun means they retained cold outer atmospheres, they would be larger even without these dense gaseous envelopes. The outer planets do not have to move as rapidly in their orbits to counteract the Sun's gravity, as this decreases with the orbital distance. During planetary formation, the protostellar disc would have clumped at the appropriate distance for its velocity. Given this lower speed, and the greater distance traveled, the outer planets take much longer to orbit the Sun than Earth.
Is it possible to calculate distance when given velocity and weight?
yes...
What is the definition of orbital radius?
it is the distance between what an object is orbiting around and the object itself in any given point
Hown ca we calculate Age of a star if its distance from earth is given?
Not enough information. You can't calculate the age, based only on the distance.
How do you calculate the distance in geography?
simple! population divided by speed given
How do you calculate distance when given velocity and weight?
More information is needed.
How are you going to calculate for the speed of a given object?
Distance over time.

What are the comparisons of the revolution times of planets and can you relate them to distance from the sun.?
The relationship is given by Kepler's Third Law.
How do you find for distance when the time is not given?
You can measure distance with a measuring stick or tape. Otherwise, if you want to calculate it based on some other data, please clarify WHAT is given.
If a planet has an average distance from the Sun of 9.1 AU, what is its orbital period SHOW YOUR WORK?
To calculate the orbital period of a planet with an average distance from the Sun of 9.1 Astronomical Units (AU), we use Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion: P^2 = a^3. Given: a = 9.1 AU Substitute the value of 'a' into Kepler's Third Law to find the orbital period, P: P^2 = (9.1)^3 P^2 = 753.571 AU^3 To find the orbital period P, take the square root of both sides of the equation: P = √753.571 P ≈ 27.45 years Conclusion: A planet with an average distance of 9.1 AU from the Sun has an estimated orbital period of approximately 27.45 Earth years.
