How does a planets distance from the sun affect the length of a year on that planet?
the closer the smaller orbit (a year is one complete orbit) so the year is smaller
What causes a year on any planet?
On any planet, one year is defined by one orbit, or revolution, around its sun. One day is defined by the complete rotation spun around its own axis. The actual length of a year on a planet depends on how far it is from its sun, how much mass it has, and other variables. Since other planets' years, days, and time are different than ours, we measure them in Earth Years, Earth Days, or similar.
What would happen if earth was as far away as Pluto?
One day on Pluto is roughly 6.4 Earth days. A year is about 248.5 Earth years. Earth will become like this Also very cold that cannot survive man
How many days passed this year so far?
it has been 137 days of the year
How many days is one year in moon?
Not sure what you are asking. The Moon orbits the Earth almost like a twin planet, at a distance of about 250 thousand miles, so it completes the journey around the Sun in the same time that the Earth does, so its year is the same as the Earth's. The Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun, far greater than the distance from the Moon to the Earth.
What is the number of days so far this year?
199
How many days so far this year?
124
What is the relationship between the length of a planets year and its distance from sun?
Yes, there is a relationship between the distance from the sun and the length of the year for the planets. The greater the distance from the sun, the longer the year. The reasons are explained in Newton's Laws of Gravity and Einstein's Theory of Relativity. A planets year is known as the distance a planet takes to travel around the Sun in a complete orbit. For example, in 365 days time, or one year, the Earth will have traveled around the Sun and be back in the position it is in right now. When compared to Earth, the closer a planet is to the the Sun, the shorter its years are (Mercury, Venus). Planets further away from the Sun have longer years when compared to an Earth year (Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto). So we say that a year on Mercury compared to ours only lasts 88 Earth days, whereas a year on Neptune takes about 60000 Earth days (nearly 165 Earth years). The cube of the distance is proportional to the square of the length of the year or orbital period. For example, Jupiter is about 5.2 times as far from the Sun as the Earth is. Cube 5.2. Now take the square root of the result. That's how many times longer Jupiter's year is than Earth's year. Distance (in AU's) cubed equals orbit time (in earth years) squared. For example, Mars is 1.52 AU with an orbit time of 1.88 Earth years. 1.52^3 == 1.88^2 (�= 3.54) Neptune is 30.11 AU and orbit time of 164.79 Earth years. 30.11^3 == 164.79^2 (�=27295.25) The length of the planet's year is equal to the distance to the power 1.5. So for a planet at 4 times the distance, the rotation period would be 8 times longer (Kepler's 2nd law).
How long one day is at mercury?
The planet Mercury rotates very slowly, taking almost 59 Earth days to turn once (58.646 days). However, it also orbits the Sun very rapidly, about once every 88 Earth days, which combines with the slow rotation to create an unusual situation.The solar day (sunrise to sunrise) on Mercury is 176 Earth days, or twice the length of its year! This further increases the drastic temperature extremes that the surface experiences, alternately seared for months by solar heat and then frozen for months as it turns away from the Sun.--*Due to the tidal effects of the Sun's gravity, the equatorial rotation of Mercury is only about 10 km/hr (far slower than Earth's 1600 km/hr). This means a "day" on Mercury is about 1400 Earth hours (58.6 days).(see the related question)58.6461 Earth Days, rounded to 58.65 Earth Daysis the correct answer!-lkwThat's the rotation period, also known as the "sidereal" day".The "solar day" is 3 times longer, at about 176 Earth days.
A year on Uranus equal to how many earth years?
It takes 84.01 earth years for Uranus to go around the sun once.
How far is the earth for the sun in steps?
one step: divide the distance of the two objects by the length of a step.
Length of a year on Pluto?
A year on Pluto (the time it takes to go around the Sun) is equivalent to 247.92 Earth years. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has completed about 1/3 of a complete orbit. This occurs because Pluto is so very far from the sun. In astronomy, the definition of a year is the length of time the Earth takes to revolve about the sun. Measured in Earth days, 1 Pluto year = 90,490.8 Days ---------- It takes 248 Earth-years for Pluto to orbit the sun because pluto orbits at an average distance of 5.9 billion km from the Sun, while Earth only orbits at 150 million km. It takes Pluto 248.09 years to orbit the Sun. (This is about 90,613 Earth days, 8 hours.) 248 years. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has only completed a little less than 1/3rd of a complete revolution.
