How long does it take for each planet to travel around the earth?

The amount of time required depends upon the means of transportation. Nuclear rockets would be faster than chemical ones, which in turn would be faster than solar sails or ion drives. Gravity assists would reduce trip times. Also, unlike earth cities which remain fixed distances, the planets remain in constant motion. Launches must be timed to account for planetary orbits.

∙ 15y agoYou are talking about the apparent motion of planets through the sky, and the particular orbital period you refer to is the synodic period of each planet. This is the length of time it takes for the planet to re-appear in the same place in the sky from earth's vantage point, relative to the sun. Days below are earth days. Mercury: 115.88 days. Venus: 583.92 days. Mars: 779.96 days. Jupiter: 398.88 days. Saturn: 378.09 days. Uranus: 369.66 days. Neptune: 367.49 days.

∙ 15y agoThe CRC Handbook of Chemistry & Physics has tables for Hohman Ellipse Transfer Data. These tables show the minimum fuel consuming trajectories for transfers between any two planets. They do not include slingshots (gravity assists), or other tricks to reduce fuel consumption.
The minimum time depends largely upon what your goal is. If all you want to do is minimize the time, and you have a big budget, you can boost all the way to the destination planet and make a big crater on impact.
The amount of time for a beam of light to reach from earth to mars would be about four minutes, with both planets lined up on the same side of the sun at perihelion.
The transfer times will vary widely depending upon the mode of transportation and the orbital trajectories selected. How long does it take to get from Detroit to Washington DC? Well, by private jet it doesn't take very long at all. By car, it takes longer. (You can ask automobile executives this question--they made just such trips last year to beg for money). If you walk, it takes longer yet. You could go by bus, train, or hot air balloon.
But Detroit and Washington DC are fixed with respect to each other. Earth, Mars, and the other planets are in motion--the distance between them varies from one season to the next on their annual circuits about the sun.

∙ 11y agowell if you went the speed of light 186000.miles per second it would take a few hours.light takes about 8 min to travel to earth from the sun and thats 93 million miles away.and about 40 min to get jupter thats about 500 million miles away.hope that helps.

Venus takes 225 days to orbit the sun
Earth takes 365 days - 1 year to orbit the sun
Mars takes 687 days to orbit the sun
Jupiter takes 11.9 years to orbit the sun
Saturn takes 29.5 years to orbit the sun
Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the sun
Neptune takes 165 years to orbit the sun
and Pluto takes 284 years

How does the earth sun and moon move around each other?
The sun does not orbit or move around the Earth and moon because the Earth has to orbit the sun while the moon orbits the earth.
Does the moon rotate around the planets?
Yes. Each moon revolves around its own planet. Our Moon revolves around Earth.
Approximatley how much does the earth travel in its orbital each day?
The Earth travels about 92 million miles in its orbit around the sun each day.
How many days does it take each planet to rotate around the sun?
Each planet is different, due to size and distance from the sun. The Earth takes 365 days or 1 year to rotate.
The time a planet takes to make a single trip around the sun is called what?
For a planet in our solar system, one revolution around the Sun is called a "year." Each planet has a different year. As you know, Earth takes 365.25 days to follow its orbit around the Sun, though Jupiter's year is about 4335 earth days. It all depends on how long it takes each one to revolve around the Sun.

Approximatley how much does the earth travel in its orbital each day?
The Earth travels about 92 million miles in its orbit around the sun each day.
What planet revolve around the sun once during each?
Every planet revolves around the sun each year, but years are different on each planet: Mercury- 88 Earth Days (.25 Earth Years) Venus- 255 Earth Days (.7 Earth Years) Earth- 365 Earth Days (1 Earth Year) Mars- 687 Earth Days (1.8 Earth Years) Jupiter- 4,346 Earth Days (11.9 Earth Years) Saturn- 10,774 Earth Days (29.5 Earth Years) Uranus- 30,680 Earth Days (84 Earth Years) Neptune- 60,625 Earth Days (165 Earth Years)
How many days does it take each planet to rotate around the sun?
Each planet is different, due to size and distance from the sun. The Earth takes 365 days or 1 year to rotate.
How many times does the earth travel once?
From the point of view of the sun, the earth travels: -- once around on its axis each 24 hours -- once around in its orbit each 365 days -- to Florida at the beginning of each Winter

Why do you think that the earth and the moon do not bump each other as they travel around the sun?
because they have their own orbit
What does Earth complete once yearly?
The Earth completes one revolution around the Sun ina year.(The orbital period of a planet is known as its year, and each planet requires a different period of time to complete a revolution around the Sun. Some take many Earth years.)
Is it true that each planet makes one revolution each year?
depends on what you mean. The planets revolve by themselves and around the sun so if you mean just a rotation of a planet then no. If you mean around the sun it depends on how your thinking about it. If you're talking about 365 earth days, then no. Each planet moves at a different speed around the sun and the farther from the sun, the slower the rotation.
How did the moon get to where it is?
4 billion years ago, the earth collided with another planet, that planet fell apart and the debris of that planet stayed in an orbit around the earth. Those pieces of debris attracted each other and they builed up the moon like that
Does it takes the sun a year to orbit the earth?
A "year" is the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. Each planet has it's own year. A "day" is how long it takes for the planet to spin all the way around.
