The orbital circumference of a planet is determined by both the mass and size of a planet. Although a planet will orbit the sum in an eliptical sphere shaped orbit, the circumference of these are almost always relative to the mass and density of the planet. It is also determined on how far away it is from the sun. The orbital circumference of a planet is determined by both the mass and size of a planet.

If the planet has less gravitation pull does that effect the speed it orbits around the Sun?

No. A planet's gravitational pull is determined by the planet's mass. A planet's orbital speed is determined by the the mass of the Sun and the planet's distance from the Sun.


What is the formula for orbital speed?

Orbital speed = (circumference of the orbit) / (period of revolution)

How did they now Goldilocks is a planet?

A "Goldilocks planet" is ANY planet that orbits its star at a distance from that star where the heat from the star means that any water present on the planet is in liquid form. This can be determined by measuring the stars temperature (its size and colour) and observing the planets orbital distance.
