Would a year on planet Neptune be longer or shorter than an earth year explain?
It would be longer because Neptune is farther away from the sun than Earth is. Then, Neptune revolution is 163.72 Earth YEARS and Earth revolution period is 365.26 Earth DAYS. Hope I helped.
Do Neptune and Pluto have the same orbit?
No, but their orbits do cross. Pluto's orbit is much more oval shaped, and is sometimes closer to the sun than Neptune, and sometimes farther away.
Does Pluto or Neptune have a longer year and why?
Neptune has a longer year than Mercury. The closer to the sun a planet is, the faster the orbit and shorter the year. Neptune's orbital period (year) is a little under 165 Earth years. Mercury orbits the sun in just under 88 days.
How old would an eleven year old be on Neptune?
The planet Neptune is farther from the Sun and has a much longer orbit than Earth's. It takes 164.79 Earth years for Neptune to complete its orbit. So if someone or something resided on Neptune for 14 "Neptune years", it would be the equivalent of 2307 Earth years in age.
What is smaller an astronomical unit or the average size of Neptune's orbit?
Neptune's orbit has a mean radius of 30 AUs. The Earth's orbit has a mean radius of 1 AU, which is how an AU is defined, so 1 AU is much smaller than Neptune's orbit.

No, but their orbits do cross. Pluto's orbit is much more oval shaped, and is sometimes closer to the sun than Neptune, and sometimes farther away.
Which is the slowest revolution around the sun?
Neptune. It is much farther away from the Sun than any other planet and takes about 165 Earth years to complete a full orbit.

Why does it take Neptune longer than Mercury to revolve around the sun?
Neptune is the farthest major planet from the Sun, at an average distance of 4.5 billion kilometers from the Sun, 30 times farther than the Earth. This makes its orbital path around the Sun more than 30 times as long as Earth's. So even at the same speed as Earth, it would take more than 30 Earth years to make one orbit. In fact, it is much moving much more slowly than Earth, less than 1/5 the speed, and takes 164.79 Earth years. The basis for planetary orbits is that planets closer to the Sun, regardless of their mass, must move at a higher velocity than those farther out. Mercury's orbital speed is nearly 9 times as fast as Neptune's.
Is the moon or neptune farther from earth?
The moon is about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) from Earth, and about 4,564 million kilometers (2,835 million miles) from Neptune. So, the moon is much closer to the Earth, Neptune over 10,000 times farther away.
Why Neptune sometimes farther from the sun than Pluto?
Neptune is brighter than Pluto because it is larger and (usually) closer to earth. There isn't enough differences in the albedo or "reflectivity" of the two planets to offset Neptune's size advantage. Even when Pluto slides inside the orbit of Neptune, which the dwarf planet does during part of its orbit of the sun, its smaller size does not permit it to compete with Neptune for brightness. No effence but i need more of an answer than this
How does a planets distance from the sun affect its orbit speed?
Since the gravitational effect of the Sun decreases with distance from it, the planets farther from the Sun do not have to move as rapidly to remain in orbit. (In fact, the speed is what establishes the orbit, not the other way around.) So the outer planets, in addition to having much farther to travel in their orbits, are also moving more slowly. This combination means that outer planets take very much longer to orbit the Sun than do the inner planets such as Earth. By comparison, the length of time it takes (in Earth years) for each of the outer planets to make one complete revolution around the Sun: Jupiter - 11.9 Earth years Saturn - 29.5 Earth years Uranus - 84 Earth years Neptune - 165 Earth years
Is Neptune closer to the Sun or to the Earth?
Earth. Neptune is the farthest planet away. Since the Sun is totally far away, this makes Neptune closer to Earth. Its like " the sun, a couple of planets including Earth, and then Neptune".
