8 planets orbit the sun
Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.
Most moons orbit close enough to their planets that the planet's gravity would render any orbit around a moon unstable in the long term.
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
What do you mean by how long would it take? Like how long would it take to orbit around the sun?
The outer planets take longer.

Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.
well think about it the planets closer to the sun have the fastest orbit so knowing that the planets are already in order from shortest to longest orbit.
distance from a source of light and how long it takes to orbit that source
This is how long it takes the first 5 planets to orbit the Sun. Mercury: 0.2 years Venus:0.6 years Earth: 1 year Mars: 2 years
Yes. It revolves around the sun and has a long period of revolution.
