because the sun go to the earth
The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
the period of revolution is related to the semimajor axis.... :)
The period of revolution of a planet is most closely related to its distance from the sun. The further a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete one revolution.

How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?

The farther away from the sun, the longer the period of revolution takes.

It's the distance from the Sun that determines the period of revolution. The period squared is proportional to the distance cubed, so if it is at a distance of 4 astronomical units, it takes 8 years to go round.
The period of revolution (time taken to complete one orbit around the sun) increases with distance from the sun. This relationship is described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states that the square of the period of revolution is proportional to the cube of the average distance from the sun (semi-major axis) for a planet.
