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.
Mercury: 176 days
Venus: 224 days
Earth: 365.26 days
Mars: 2 years, 730.5 days
Jupiter: 6 years, 2,192 days
Saturn: 29 years, 10,592 days
*Chiron: 51 years, 18,628 days
Uranus: 84 years, 30,682 days
Neptune: 165 years, 60,268 days
**Pluto: 248 years, 90,585 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.
Mercury : 87.969 days
Venus: 224.70069 days
Earth: 365.256366 days (1.0000175 year)
Mars: 686.971 days (1.8808476 years)
Jupiter: 4,331.572 days (11.85920 years)
Saturn: 10,759 days (29½ years) *
Uranus: 30,799.095 days (84.323 326 years)
Neptune: 60,190 days (164.79 years)
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.
For 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.
For Earth, 365 days or 366 on a leap year. For other planets, one year.
If you are referring to planet Earth, then 1 year or 365 days.

The sun does not orbit the earth
- the earth orbits the sun.
The 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.

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.
It takes one year for the earth to orbit around the sun
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
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.
a long time
Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.
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?
Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.
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.
The outer planets take longer.
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 planets take around the sun, is called a orbit.
Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.
Mercury takes about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit around the sun. Its orbit is the closest to the sun out of all the planets in our solar system.
Elliptical Orbit
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.
