Which planet moves the fastest about the sun?
The Sun doesn't move fast, but if you mean which planet moves fast around the sun then it would be Mercury, because it is closer.
The speed of a planet in its orbit around the Sun depends primarily on the planet's?
Distance from the Sun. (The closer it is, the faster it moves.)
What happens When a planet in its orbit is closer to the sun it?
It goes faster . and it gets warmer (on average).
Which planet is closer to the sun than earth but farther from the sun than mercury?
Mercury is the first planet from the sun, and Earth is the third planet from the sun; Venus is the second planet from the sun, making it farther than Mercury but closer than Earth.
How does the speed of a planet depends on its distance from the sun?
This was worked out by Kepler about 400 years ago. Kepler's second law of planetary motion shows how a planet moves faster when it's nearer, in its elliptical orbit, to the Sun. Kepler's third law relates the time a particular planet takes to orbit the Sun to its average distance from the Sun. A planet which is farther from the Sun has a slower orbital speed than a planet closer to the Sun.

How does the distance from the sun of a planet affect the planet’s orbitalvelocity?
A planet's orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.
Kepler's third law of planetary motion states that planets that are closer to the sun in their orbits?
The closer the planet is to the Sun, the faster it moves.
Kepler's Law implies that a planet inorbit about the Sun moves faster when it is closer to the Sun and slower when it is farther away?

What is the planet Pluto like?
It is very icy because it is so far way from the sun and sometimes moves closer to the sun then Neptune.
What happens When a planet in its orbit is closer to the sun it?
It goes faster . and it gets warmer (on average).
As a planet approaches perihelion does it potential energy increase or decrease?
At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum. The sum of kinetic + potential energy, of course, remains constant.At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum.
