The time taken by planets to orbit the sun depends on their distance from the sun. The planets that are closer take shorter time while the planets farther away take longer time. Mercury takes 88 days, Venus takes 224 days, Earth takes 365 days, Mars takes 687 days, Saturn takes 10760 days, Jupiter takes 4332 days, Neptune takes 60200 days and Uranus takes 30700 days.

*Not to be confused with Pluto's moon Charon. Chiron is not a "planet" by today's terms, but listed anyway for astrological purposes.
**Astrologically a planet. Astronomically a dwarf planet.

Note that in another section of the same source I found, it stated that Saturn takes 10,832.327 days to orbit the Sun, and stated 29.657 296 years. I do not know which of the two above answers is more accurate.

∙ 11y agoFor Mercury it takes 88 Earth days to orbit the sun, but this is not even one day on Mercury. For Venus it takes 224.7 Earth days to orbit the sun. But I do not no how long it takes other planets to orbit the sun, sorry I couldn't be more help.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoFor Earth, 365 days or 366 on a leap year. For other planets, one year.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIf you are referring to planet Earth, then 1 year or 365 days.

The sun does not orbit the earth
- the earth orbits the sun.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThe sun does NOT orbit the earth- the earth orbits the sun. It takes about 365 and one quarter days for the earth to complete one orbit around the sun.

Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
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.
How long does earth take to make one orbit around the sun?
It takes one year for the earth to orbit around the sun
How long does it take all the planets to make a complete rotation?
Mercury, Days to orbit sun = 87.97, Years to orbit sun= 0.24 Venus, Days to orbit sun = 224.70, Years to orbit sun= 0.62 Earth, Days to orbit sun = 365.26, Years to orbit sun= 1.00 Mars, Days to orbit sun = 686.97, Years to orbit sun= 1.88 Jupiter, Days to orbit sun = 4331.57, Years to orbit sun= 11.86 Saturn, Days to orbit sun = 10759.22, Years to orbit sun= 29.46 Uranus, Days to orbit sun = 30799.10, Years to orbit sun= 84.32 Neptune, Days to orbit sun = 60190.00, Years to orbit sun= 164.79
What keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?
Gravity, combined with the velocities of the planets, keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.Gravity between any body, such as a planet, and the Sun is one factor. Also the planet has a velocity. These two things combine to keep the planet in orbit around the Sun.Gravitation. The suns gravitational pull. The huge mass of the sun means it has a huge gravitational pull, keeping all of the planets in place. There is also the planets velocity that would take the planet away from the sun if there was no gravity, so these two forces act against each other.
How long dose the moon take to orbit around the earth?
a long time
Why do some planets take a long time to orbit around the sun?
Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.
Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
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.
how long would it take for all planets in our solar system including all dwarf planets?
What do you mean by how long would it take? Like how long would it take to orbit around the sun?
How many steps did the eight planets take to finished around the orbit?
Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.
Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?
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 takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?
The outer planets take longer.
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
The path the planet takes around the sun?
The path the planets take around the sun, is called a orbit.
How long does Saturn take to orbit the planets in the solar system?
Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.
What is the shape of the orbit that the planets take called?
Elliptical Orbit
How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?
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.
How long does it take the first 5 planets to orbit the sun?
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
