The extent (distance) in which an object takes to orbit around another bigger mass (which is effected by how big the satellite (smaller object) is).
Or the length [of time] of an orbit. This is the time it takes to make one revolution.
Examples: Something just above the atmosphere of the earth takes about 90 minutes.
The moon takes 28 days to go around the earth and the earth take a year to go around the sun.

How long does it take mercury to orbit the sun in kilometres?
The orbit is approx 364 million km in length.
What is the length of orbit for Venus'?

The length of time a planet takes to orbit the sun?
yes it does
What is the length of orbit around the sun for Pluto in km?
36,530,000,000 km
What is the length of mercury?
Mercury has an elliptical orbit and circles the Sun once every 88 days. The distance from the Sun varies from 46 to 70 million kilometers (23.5 to 43.0 million miles). The mean distance of 58 million kilometers would give an orbit length of about 364 million kilometers, moving at 47.87 kilometers per second.
What and how does Uranus orbit?
orbit including the length of day and year
How many miles is an orbit of 220 miles high from earth?
Do you mean the length of such an orbit ?Well . . .-- The radius of the Earth is about 3,960 miles.-- 220 miles further out means that the radius of the orbit is 4,180 miles.-- The circumference of a circle is (2 pi) x (the radius).-- So the length of the orbit is (8,360 pi) = 26,264 miles. (rounded)

What determine the length of a year on a planet?
The length of time it takes to make a complete orbit around the sun.
Which planet takes longer to orbit the sun and why?
Neptune. Because it was the farthest planet from the sun. So its orbit's length is long.
