Yes, very slowly the planets shift, and move, away, and closer to the sun. But we will never see any massive change soon.

How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?

As the names suggest, the inner planets are closer to the Sun than the outer planets.


What is the relationship between a planets distance from the sun and distance between planets?

If two planets are in orbits with radii of R1 and R2, the distance between them varies from R2-R1 to R2+R1.


What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?

There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.


How many miles are in between Mars and Saturn in miles?

Since Mars and Saturn both orbit the Sun, the distance between them is constantly changing as both planets move in their orbits.

What is the relationship between the period of revolution and distance from the sun?

What is the relationship between the distance of the planets from the sun and the time it takes to revolve around the sun?

there is no true relationship between distance from the sun and orbit time as some planets go revolves at a different velocity.


Why is the distance between earth and the sun alaways changing?

The Earths orbit around the sun is not a regular and central circle, or perfectly flat. The same can be said of all planets with varying degrees. This means that the Earth is sometimes slightly closer to the sun, while further at other times. The planets generally maintain an average distance from the sun though.


What did Kepler discover about the distance of the planets from the sun and the length of their orbits?

Keplar showed that there is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year). This is described in Keplars third law; the square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.


How far is Saturn's moon Titan from the sun?

This question can not be awnsered because it is a moon not a planet which means that moons are all changing in distance from the sun but planets stay the the same distance from the sun


Which of these do not contribute to changing seasons?

distance between the earth and sun


What is the distances between the earth and the others planets in kilometers?

Because all of the planets are orbiting the SUN, the distance between Earth and the other planets are always changing. Take Venus, for example. Right now, Venus is between the Sun and Earth, so the distance to Venus is only about 40 million miles. In about 8 months, when Venus is on the other side of the Sun from us, the distance will be more like 130 million miles. There is a free planetarium program called Stellarium that you can download and install, which will allow you to calculate the distance from Earth to any other planet or moon.
