Wiki User
∙ 8y agoWe call the time it takes a planet to orbit the Sun a year. Such as, Jupiter's year.

Which planets had the longest time to orbit the sun?
Depends on whether or not you call Pluto a Planet. If so, yes Pluto. Which takes around 248 earth days to orbit the sun. If not, it's Neptune. Which takes 165 earth days to orbit the sun.
What do you call a planet and a star orbit?
the sun
What do you call the large path a planet makes around the sun?
That is called the planet's orbit.
What do you call the path to the planets takes?
I believe you are asking about their orbits around the Sun. The orbit is the (elliptical) path they take around the Sun. It takes a certain amount of time to complete, which is the planet's "year".One calendar year on Earth is (more or less) the time for one full revolution of Earth around the Sun.
What do you call a path a planet follows as it travels around the sun?

What do you call the time it takes for a planet to orbit a star?
revolution
What is the path a planet takes to orbit another planet called?
We call that path the "orbit" of the orbiting body. Note: You would not ever see a planet orbiting another planet. At least, if you did, you would not call them both planets.

What do you call the path to the planets takes what keeps the planets on this path?
The path a planet takes is called an orbit.The planets are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the star (in our case the Sun) they orbit.
