Which planets orbit faster?
Closest to the sun
What are the closest minor planets to orbit the sun?
Mercury,Venus,Earth and Mars
What planet and dwarf planet is closest to the sun?
Ceres is the closest dwarf planet to the sun. Ceres is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The other dwarf planets are out past the orbit of Neptune.
Sun is actually a star?
The sun is a star, the closest star to our earth. Indeed, our earth and the other planets of our solar system orbit the sun.
How do planets orbit closest to sun?
it uses gravity. The sun has a gravitational pull, so it keeps the closest planet close to it. the farther away a planet is, the weaker the gravitational pull. Without it the planets would "drift" off from the sun. Plus all the moons wouldn't orbit us anymore. -----CMH
What point in a planets oribits is closest to the sun?
perihelion is the point in a planets orbit when it is closest to the sun
Which planets orbit faster?

Does mercury have the largest orbit?
Mercury has the shortest orbit of all the planets because it is the closest planet to the Sun.
What are the closest minor planets to orbit the sun?
Mercury,Venus,Earth and Mars
When does Neptune orbit the Sun fastest?
Neptune orbits the Sun (as do most planets) with an elliptical orbit. When the orbit takes the planet closest to the Sun it is moving faster than when it is furthest from the Sun when on an elliptical orbit.
What is the third planet closest to Earth?
The distances vary as the planets orbit the Sun. On average, the answer is Mercury.
Who proposed that planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths moving fastest when closest to the Sun?
Johannes Kepler.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
What planets' years are less than a earth's day?
There are no solar planets that orbit the Sun in less than 24 hours. The closest, Mercury, takes about 88 days to orbit the Sun.
Do planets revolve faster around the sun in a certain location of the elliptical orbit?
Yes. The planets travel fastest at perihelion, the closest point to the sun in the orbit, and slowest at aphelion, the farthest point.
