What relationship between year and orbit?
Well if you are talking about planet Earth the orbit around the Sun takes one year.
What is the time it takes for a planet to one orbit around the sun called?
a year?
Does the distance from the sun affect how long a year is on that planet?
a year is determined on how long the planet takes to orbit the sun. When calculating the year of a planet we use earth days. __________________ Yes, distance counts. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes that planet to complete one full orbit.
What is one orbit of the sun by a planet is called?
A year. Each planet in a solar system has a year of different length, equal to the time it takes for one complete orbit around its sun.
How are the length of a planet year and planet distance from the sun?
A planet year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one complete revolution in its orbit around the sun. The farther away from the sun a planet is, the larger its orbit. The larger its orbit, the longer (more days) it takes to go around the sun. Thus, the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its year will be.
What do you call the amount of time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun?
One round trip around the sun is called a "YEAR".
What is the time it takes for planet to complete 1 orbit around the Sun called?
A year. Any planet, any length of time, for that planet once around the sun is their year.
How long it takes a planet to complete one orbit around the Sun is called?
A year.
Amount of time it takes a planet to make one orbit around the sun?
It's called the planet's "YEAR".
What is it called when the time it takes a planet to make one complete orbit around the sun NOT A YEAR?
It is called the planet's period.
Which planet has the second shortest year?
Mercury is the planet that has the shortest year. This is because it is the nearest planet to the sun. It only takes 88 Earth days for Mercury to complete one orbit.
What is earthes orbit?
An orbit is the path a planet takes around the sun. Earth's orbit is an ellipse. It takes the Earth one year to travel along the elliptical path around the sun.
